The Issue of RACE.

In the twelfth chapter of the book
Of Judges il is told how the Gileadites

By their faulty speech the forty and
two thousand proved themselves 10 be
Of another race. and they were slain.
Read ancient history and learn that in
the dark backward and abySm of time
the hand Of every man of one race was
against the hand of every man OF all
other races. Stranger meant enemy.
alien meant foe. Then the race issue
was al its strongest. Centuries have
passed. Almost universal tolerance has
come about While races still preserve
their national identity. ingress and
egress are. for the most part. free and
open. The sons OF one race mate free
