teach. Here was the virgin earth,
fresh and moist from the hand Of the
Creator. There was the mysterious
sea- and far away in the shining
spaces of the night lay the uncount-
ed stars with their lessons to spread.
All of these were to be studied, all
were to be conquered. The door OF
hope stood broadly open, and no
color-line was drawn.
There were no tyrants in those
days, no masters and no slaves;
there was neither riches nor poverty.
Nothing had been preempted, moth
ing patented; there were no Jim
Crow cars; everything was equal.
Mark the lapse of few centuries.
The achievements of Egypt can
scarcely be catalogued, they are SO
versatile and so m magnificent. The
| Egyptian had erected constitutional
| government, created the kingly Dig
nifty and safe-guarded the peoples
| rights. He was skilled in medicine,
and wrote works on astronomy, ar
| chitecture, anatomy fragments OF
which remain to this day. He had
built cities which are yet the won
der of mankind; he had devised an
elaborate system of religion, he had
harnessed the Nile, reared the pyra-
mids and measured the stars.
But the negro's jungle was still a
jungle. He had no government, no
cities, no learning, he had no cloth
ing, no arts, no aspirations. He had
dreamed no dreams, hoped no hopes.
INDUCED no visions He had desired
nothing, planned nothing, executed
nothing in any wise more intellect

ton, form of serpent-worship
