By his street corner talks In Columbia
this week He is a remarkable per
souage. He SAYS that his mother was
born at Richm0nd, Va, in the year
1soa. Her maiden name was Julia
judah, the daughter Of Emanuel
Judah. she was left an orphan at an
early age. kidnapped by slave dealers
and sold into bondage. The people Is
whom she was sold moved west at an
early date, earring Julia Judah with
them and making a domestic slave Of
her. When she was II years Of age.
the Shareholder made her jump oyer 3
bToomstick with a slave mar aud then
called them man and wife. This en-
shaved Jewish women then became
the mother Of Is children, II black
and , white. The prophet" claims
to be one OF these two white children.
The daughter was bought out Of
slavery for the sum Of $500 and he
freed himself in the tventy-fourth
year OF his age By going TO the British
dominion
His mission the prophet annOunc-
Is to be to deliver the natives and to
establish a universal brotherhood Of
man and fstherhood Of God and says
the thing is TO be achieved in his day
and generation. He claims that not
only has he been prosecuted by slay-
cry, but since, while he was in Canada
he was imprisoned for seven years
The old man SAYS the people enter
tain a prophet unawsres, "and that he
IS the mouthpiece Of God, who com
municates with the world through
him alone.
He says the truth contained I'm the
words, Surely the Lord viii do moth
ing, but he reyealeth His secret unto
His servants the prophets, . as well as
many other parts Of the Bible, which
convince all people that Simon, the
seventh child Of Julia Judah, was
born TO be a prophet OF the God Of
Israel.
This Is no new revelation to me"
says the prophet, '1for the Lord God
revealed the fact unto me many years
ago. The means by which the nations
shall be delivered from the hands OF
wicked men and women, Is the coming
of the power and wisdom OF God in the
heart Of his servants, the prophets,
who are now raised up out OF their
graves through the law Of generation.
We who are now on earth are standing
up in the stead Of the dead. The
thousands OF African slaves who
worked for hundreds Of years 10 make
this country what 1t now is, The Gar
den Of Eden went down 10 their
graves without ever receiving an hon
est compensation for their labor;
justice demands that payment be
made. And as they have passed out
OF the body and have become our
guardian angels, the very best thing
that a righteous God can do is TO give
the reward to their children, who now
stand up instead OF the dead.
ut is now believed that the colored
people Of America number oyer ten
millions Of souls, and there is no peo-
pie In this country that is increasing
in number and strength, both physi-
cally and mentally, more than the
eolored people.
0ANsAANAAs PAAhOCo hdNN tblaI Out VI
Egypt Ethiopia hath stretched out
her hands unto God. God is the
helper OF the oppressed. When my
people were oppressed in Egypt, God
heard their cries and raised up Moses
TO deliver them. He is no r~espector
Of persons. Therefore, He says, Offer
unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy
VOWS unto the Most High, and call
upon Me in the day Of trouble, l sill
deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify
Me-"
While not progressing in appear
anee, the prophet" with some auence
and much animation. "You people
are beguiled into believing that
Heaven is some place far away said
he; these white people have drilled
their religions into the negro race.
You are standing right now where
Heaven is TO be. Heaven is a condi-
tion to be entered into right here.
Hell likewise"
Some Of his hearers were much
worked up over his utterances.
