RACE SEPARATION
THE ONL Y SOLUTION

| Race prejudice is as old as the world
and as everlasting as the hills and this
prejudice, deep, uncircumscribed and
ineradicable, sits like a shadow on the
! future OF the weaker race. II makes the

The Negro Barred.
Under this prejudice the negro can
never. North or South, be received in
equal social and personal relations with
the families OF the white race and can
never. therefore. be a social equal with
the white man.
Can the strong race lift up the weak
er to its level Not in contact. not in
proximity. Never, In the long, slow
process the higher would inevitably
sink nearer to the level of the lower
race. Inferior races absorb the vices
rather than the virtues of the superior
race. The Hawaiian has degenerated in
health and morals by contact with the
English speaking race. The Turanian
and Tasmanian races perished by con
tact with higher civilization
Red Mans Lot.
The Maoris and New Zealanders suf-
fered so. and the noble red man is to-
day a besotted wretch perishing in the
white heat of a civilization for which he
was never designed. Not in equal re-
lations. not side by side, can the higher
race reform the lower.
Apart and separate. by missionary
and evangel, by example and by counsel.
We may help an inferior race to be help
ful, self-reliant and free. But not under
the shadow OF our robust and staIwart
sins. or under the iron weight of our
all-conquering evils. History stamps
discouragement on the theory every
where.

Is there any other remedy? Is there
any other balm in Gilead? Is there any
healing here? Not within my vision, and
not within the records of experience
Try all these remedies-test them all
as they have all been tested and Knocked
in the trials OF the years. Try any new
remedy that wisdom or quackery may
propose. And when we have tried them
all. and have failed in all. as we are
falling and viii forever fail-it may be
that Almighty God-the last imminent
factor in the destiny of nations, will
strike the scales from our blinded eyes
and lead US by elimination and higher
logic TO see the remedy-the only remedy
His remedy.
For on the single occasion when the
skies were parted for light upon the
problem of the wrangling races. Al
mighty God reached down to Egypt and
by the definite way of separation led the
Jews. His chosen people, over seas Of

The Only Solution
Separation of the races is the way
the only way. II God hath made of
one blood all the nations of the earth"
He hath also established unto them
the metes and bounds OF their hablta-
tion," He did not intend that opposite
and antagonistic races should live to-
gether. The prejudice OF races IS a
pointing OF providence and the antagon-
ism OF peoples is the fixed policy by
which God peoples the different portions
of the universe and establishes the in
dividuality OF the nations.
The act that brought these people to-
gether on this continent was a sin OF
the fathers-a sin of greed. an iniquity
of trade-and the sorrow and suffering
OF the present is for the sin OF the
pasta sin against nature and a sin
against God. The curse can be lifted
only when nature is vindicated and God
is Obeyed. The problem will be solved
only when the negro is restored 10 the
