Y given thus fully, in or,ler that those O
I us who believe in the unity of the hu

and that is virtually accepted by man,
, in our churches.
Candor compels me also to admi
That this theory does answer man,
questions that have perplexed Bibl,
students, and some of which canno
otherwise be satisfactorily answered
Here are some of them.
II O. Why is there another account
OF the creation Of man in Genesis ii
~; unless it is TO designate which race
Was to be put in Eden and to be tho
representative of mankind in the con,
venaDt with God?
| (l). AS Genesis v, teaches that
after" Adam begat Seth "he beyai
sons and daughters" it thus implies
that before the birth OF Seth only Cain
and Abel had been horn to Adam.
Who then could Cain fear would find
and kill him; and from whom did God
protect himP. Genesis iv, 14-15. Who
Was there for Cain To marry? And
where did the people come from to in
habit the city that he built9 Genesis
v, IL.
C3). If the eight persons saved in
The ark were the only persons in the
world, how and where could Nimrod,
the grandson of Ham, find people en-
Ough to fill four cities, Babel and
Erech and Accad and Calneh in the
land of Shinar?" Genesis X, 10.
tG. Whence originated those races
of men which are mentioned mum.
Der of times in the Bible, but which
are now extinct? Whence the Emim-
the Anakim-the giants, who were
eight feet or mole in he,g ght-and the
sort of man that had six fingers on
each hand and six Toes OH each foot2
(5). If the flood, that occurred
a ,24S years ago, destroyed all mankind
and not merely the descendants of him
designated in Scripture as Eth-Ha.
Adam;" then how could there haye
been populous kingdom in Egypt
a 500 years agOY How could The ma
tion OF China have been in Existence
8 1000 years ago.
(G) If the white man and The Ne
gro were descended from the same
Adam and Eve, when and where was
the miracle wrought that has made
them so different in hair, and odor,
and color and character? From "time
immcmorial" this difference has
existed. Egyptian monuments prove
that 4 900 years ago these differences
were as distinct rs they are today.
Where in the Bible is there any ac-
count of Gods changing the divine
law that " like begets like"
Nv. The Unity of the Human Race.
This is now the teaching of the Chris
tian church, and has been so for cen
turles. The arguments Tor 1T are from
the Bible, and here are some of them.
a. Acts xvii, 26, God "hath made
of Que blood all nations of men for to
dwell on all the face of the earth"
(2. Romans v, IL, Wherefore as
by one man sin entered into the world :,
and death by sin; and so death passed
upon all men, for thai all have sinncd."
Here, surely it is implied that Adam
was the head of all men.
(3. Corinthians XIV, %, For as
in Adam all die;" where the death of
all men is attributed to their relation
with Adam.
| (G, L Corinthians XIV, 45 and IL
whore Adam is called the "first man. d
Now of what has been said this is
the sum: Goods Providence indi.
Gates that now and in our country is to
be solved the problem. Whence the
Negro?" The answer given by evo
luton, and that given by those who
believe the Negro 10 be a beast, are
both untrue and absurd. We must
choose between The theory of two crea
tions, and that of the unity of the hui
man race; and both of these base theil
argument upon the Bible. Let that
choice be made honestly, impartially
and prayerfully.
If the Negro was created separate
from and inferior TO the white man
then TO keep him as our political equa
is crime, aud to permit him to be ou
social equal is q sin. Ii is fagrantly tt
insult God by ,lisregarding the diff
ferences which He has 80 clearly ant
lndel,bly stamped upon, the two races
i But if the Negro is really our broth
er, bone of our bone and flesh of ou
flesh, have the same Father Adam ant
Mother Eve, then it would be sinful
cowardly and mean TO desert "ou
brother in black" because he is unfor
: tunate. We must love him for hi,
own sake, as well as for the Saviour
sake. We must elevate him by ever,
means in our power, and try to lift hin
up TO n level with ourselves. Thi
must be earnestly and honestly done
or else We who believe in the cunt
of the human race must be put undo
the condemnation of both God an
. man.
