the negro is descendant of Adam, hence
I say he is our brother in black, and all
other races of people are the sons OF
Adam, hence we are all brothers, and the
command is to love al mankind let him
be white or black. All men were white
until after the flood. Noah and his family
were white until after the flood. Now
mark you, God never created Noah, but
Noah was begotten of Adam. At this
period of Gods history by his word there
were only eight souls of Adams race; all
others had been destroyed by the flood;
eight white people. Noah and his wife,
his three sons, and their wives Shem,
Ham, and Japhet were the names OF
Noah's three sons, and there was the
beginning of the negro race, or I believe
it is from my understanding OF Gods
word. Now Ham, one of Noah's sons,
sinned and God put curse upon him,
made him black and made him and all
his descendants to be hewers of wood and
drawers of water, q servant of the white
man.
Now have proved by Gods word that
the negro is our brother in black, he is OF
the Adamic race, hence he is one of US
and he deserves our care and watchful-
ness, he is entitled to justice, he should
have the gospel preached to him by the
white man as well as by the colored man.
We as white men should do our whole
duty in trying to bring him to God, con-
vert him, and this will solve the whole
negro problem. Love him not as our
equal in this world, but he will be our
equal in heaven, the converted negro will
be as white as any of US in heaven, and
why not teach him this so as to raise his
aspirations. It makes me tired to hear
men argue that negroes have no soul.
God pity such, when the negro's soul has
the same blood passing through its veins
and it breathes the same air that the
white soul does he is blood of Our
blood and flesh of our flesh; he is the son
of Adam. challenge any man to deny
this by Gods holy word. So let Us do our
duty to the negro, teach him good morals,
teach him to be honest, teach him that he
is one of Gods creatures, teach him that
he has soul to live through all eternity,
teach him that God loves him and wants
to save him, teach him the way of saliva.
ton, lead him to God, and then we will
have no more trouble with the negro.
He is here with US and he is here to-
stay; we can't get rid of him; he is one of
Gods creatures, and Christ said, "Go ye
into all the world and preach the gospel
to every creature" So then let u. begin
now and preach to this black race OF
Gods, get the negro converted, then he
will give you an honest day'slwork, you
will then get value received out of him.
Convert him and he will cease to be an
idler, child of God is not lazy, a lazy
man cannot be Christian. Convert the
negro and he will never harm you but
will be a true friend to you. He will re-
spect you and obey you; convert him and
he will have self-respect and cease to
spend his money for drink. Convert him
and he will cease to lay out at all hours
of the night, he will work in the day
time and rest at night. Convert him and
he will respect our sons and daughters.
Convert him and he will cease to gamble
all day Sundays. Convert him and he
will cease to want to be idle on the street
all day Saturdays. Convert him and he
will keep the Lords day holy. Convert
him and he will cease to live in adultery.
Convert him and he will cease from all
uncleanness. Amen.
We would then learn to love the negro
more and more, and he would love US
more and more in return. Then, all strife
would cease and justice will be meted out
to the negro as well as to the white man;
then all negroes will become Democratic,
as they will then learn that Democracy
means Justice to all men and special priv
ileges to none. It will then no longer be
said, "All for the white man and none for
the Niger" So then let Us as white men
get the beam out of our own eye, then
we can see clearly how to get the mote
out of the eye of our brother in black.
AS said in the outset, we as white
race are largely responsible for the pres.
ent condition of affairs today between the
blacks and whites. So I say let the
church 90 to work at home, do mission
ary work. Convert the poor white man
and the negro and the rich man too. Then
all crime will cease in our country, such
as divorces which have become alarming,
also rope, murder, suicides, robbing,
frauds, gambling, drunkenness, and many
others that 1 might mention. Then our
