NO METAPHYSICS
FROM THIS ORATOR
AbysSinian''S Flow Of Big
Words Stumped a Man in
Ills Audience
TOOK 5000 YEARS
TO MAKE THE WORLD

A Historical, PsychopBlcal, hthho-
logical and Metaphysical reply to Till
man" was made by the Rev. c. I.
Checizzle. a former Abyssinian priest,
in the course of an address in Gilbert
Presbyterian Church to an audience
of colored persons,
The meeting was opened by three
quarter-hour musicale at which the
Rev. Checizzi presided at the piano
and sans number OF selections both
in English and In the Abbysinian Lam
guage. This. was followed by a few
remarks by the Rev G. l.. Jefferson,
who introduced the Rev Checizzle The
former priest declared that he would
not. address his hearers as fellow
lcitizensr as he was from Abhysinia
and could not be a fellow citizen but
he would address them as Ills fellow
race.
MY king is a black man." said the
speaker " hile yonr president is a
white man. You needn't be ashamed
that YOU are tho descendants of slaves.
as for 873 years white man was a
slave to the Queen of Sheba and the
King of Abyssinia"

"Tho world was not made In six

/ VIII not enter into tie metaphysical
Explanation OF the evolution Of the
sphere as fear there are no meta
lnhysica students here tonight. The
Rev. Checizzli insisted that man was
not made before woman but that Adam
and Eve were created at the. same
moment.
Il have felt my ribs" he said, "and
do not find any rib missing. Adam
was Of a red race, while Eve was of
swarthy or black hue. They had six
children. three Of whom were red and
three of a dark color" The priest then
went into rapid fire and long worded
eNplanltion during the course of which
he was interrupted by a colored man
in the rear of the church who called
aloud, What IL Is? What Il is?"
lio Wanted to Know.
This remark aroused the speaker
ana his-eyes flashed as he demanded
who IL was who had dared to inter-
rupt his words. "You are not at
political meeting, he mlid. Il want
you TO understand that. but in a re-
ligious house, After this rebuke the
linterruptor interrupted no more.
Continuing. the Abyssinian said that
there were black angels in heaven as
well as white and declared that the
black Nmrod was the founder OF all
religions Al priests of the world to-
day. he said, sprang from the black
man. When President Roosevelt in
vited King Meneik to send amhassa-
dors to America he little knew that
he was fulfilling Gods word relative TO
the black and white races
"if there are any white people among
my hearers saiu the priest. II want
them TO understand that ! am not at
tacSing them as individuals but as a
whole white race The speaker classed
all the early white race as pig heads"
He declared that Moses was black
man, that the Queen OF Sheba was a
black woman. that the tomb in which
Christ's body lay was owned by the
black Joseph, and that Mary Magda-
len was a black woman. When Christ
was lost to history for eleven years
he declared that the Saviour was in
Egypt playing with black boys and
girls.
Not Much Of Tillman.
The priest further declared that
Masonry and the order Of the knights
Of Pythias. both owed their founda-
tion TO the black race. as Soloman
was the first Master Mason.
But twice during his remarks did
he refer TO Tillman. once when he
stated that he must be ignorant in
deed when he did not know that had
IL not been for the black Simeons the
salvation OF the world would not have
been brought about, and on another
occasion when he stated that he did
not believe that the senator had ever
been TO school, much less to college.
so ignorant was he of the origin OF
the black race
The Rev. Checizzli concluded his re-
marks by urging the black race to
stand together and be true to one
another, as great things were in store
for them in the future
