COLORED RACE
DR.. J.W. Jarvis Gives
the Facts Against
AS 6umptIOnS
BOLD CHALLANcE TO CRITICS

Pontiac, Mich.-The Rev. ]. w. Jar
Wis, S. T. B., who has given consider
able thought to the origin, progress
and development of the various races
OF the world along many lines, writes
the following article concerning legis-
lation against intermRrriage between
white and colored persons.
For the benefit of those who rejoice
in the destruction Of personal privi-
lege as to one marrying the person OF
his choice he says:
1--WE pen the following historical re-
search and will heartily welcome dis
cussions from theologians and histor
ians on the subject
The Greek for man is anthropos,
and the Scriptures declare that God
made of one blood all nations That
includes individuals and takes in
Ethiopians, and we assert that they
are susceptible to all the qualities
and changes of any other race and are
endowed with the same ego as the
Caucasian or any other race Of people
wherever found.
Here are some original Biblical
facts:
The sons of Ham we're Cush, Miz-
rain. Phut and Canaan. The word
Ham means heat, BROWNIES. We
note that these settled in Africa and
Arabia, and the principal nations
springing from them were the Egyp-
tians, Ethiopians, Lybians and Ca
nasnites.
''Nimrod, the son Of Cush, founded
Babylon B. c. 2245, and Asshur found
ed Nineveh aNut the same year.
Mizraim, the grandson of Ham, leads
colonies into Egypt and founded an
empire that lasted 1868 years. The
ancient pharaohs boasted of their line
age. Their first kings were Mizraim,
Athokes, Busiris, Osymandyas, the
shepherd kings, Pharaoh, Syphoas,
Memmon, the inventor of letters;
Amenophis 1. and Potiphar. Seba is
located near Ethiopia Csaiah xiv. 14)
and is now known as the Sudan. This
country knew the use of rifles before
Columbus sailed for the West
"Other sons of Cush formed a line
of settlements along the shores of
Arabia from the vicinity of Yemen to
the head of the Persian gulf. At the
head of the Persian gulf is Babylonia
or the land Shinar.
From Casluhim of Mixraim came
the Philistines from the land Of Pal
estine. The border of the Canaanites
was, from ZidOn TO Gerar. Zidon was
the FIRST son OF Canaan, whence the
Zidonians The Zidonians founded
Tyre, five miles down the coast. From
Tyre a colony went forth and found
ed Carthage on the northern point Of
Africa. They built up an empire that
extended from the Strait of Gibraltar
to the altars of Pbilani, near the great
Syrtis. They possessed as provinces
Sardinia, the Balearic Islands, Malta,
settlements in Spain and Gaul and a
part of Sicily. For 400 years Carthage
riyaled Rome.
'Ishmael, the son of Abram by
Hagar, marries an Egyptian, from
whence the Japanese and the Chinese
are other off-shoots. Esau marries a
Canaanite, Adah, and Bathshemash
IshmaeTs daughter, the latter account
able for the Chinese and the former
the Indians, who are Edomites. Judah
marries Shuat, a Canaanite. of which
tribe and lineage came Christ. Joseph
marries Asenetb an Egyptian. Moses
marries an Ethiopian.
David begat Solomon of Bathsheba
a Canaanite. Solomon begets Kine
MeneIik l. of Abyssinia by the Queer
Of Sheba (tradition).
I'VE now say to our critics that we
are not an undesirable people nor thaI
barbaric night is behind us, for the re
search made and given is matter o.
history, to be traced by any who de
sire the information. And it ought II
be an inspiration to our cowardly rac'
leaders who dare not speak, who stifl'
the consciences OF so-called popular
fly. Be men, and whatever your per
sonal views on intermarriage may b.
do not let that allow you to sell you
civil privileges and rights for a mes
Of pottage Remember that we glor.
in this great race of kings and queens
like those recently deposed in Mads
gascar and the Hawaiian Islands. o
emperors like SoloqGe and De Saline
of statesmen and generals like Hanni

FEcuCIlC-A OCuSidS, Ol cuuCdlOIS lh
Washington. Bowen. Kelly Millel
ETC.; Of legal lights like Lewis, Terrell
Stroker, etc.; of great bishops, nc
only Protestant, but also Catholic.
Last, but not least, the command I
Israel against intermarriage was not
racial one, but rather from a religion
viewpoint, lest he be contaminate
and return to be the opposite of tn
Divine plan, for we think it is yer
clear that all along the line they di
infermarry.
Let US stand together; let US liy
and work together. The Japs. Chimes
and Indians belong to us, and the da
that there is a gathering together,
greater sound than perhaps the vallt
of dry bones, we may have to fight
not with gun and sword, with tongl
and pen. Up ye mighty men, and /
not the curse Of Meroz rest on yoi
And, though we die in the stTuggl
vet from our grave the echo will com
'Dulce ct decorun est por Frat
Mori."
