Some have large spiritual endowment,
some great intellectual endowment,
while others are great physically.
There are races whose, endowment
seems very small, and YOU know the
Negro has ever been placed at the bot
tom of the column. But let us take
fresh courage. Mankind is made. Of
one blood. We have NO less authority
for this assertion than the word of He
who cannot lie. He (Godl said it, and
i believe it because He said it. 1t may
be true that the Negro has produced
little that is worthy to, survive, but let
