BOLD CHALLANcE TO CRITICS

Pontiac, Mich.-The Rev. j. 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 intermarriage 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:
I'VE 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 tie 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 were Cush, Miz-
rain. Phut and Canaan. The word
Ham means heat, provinces. We
note that these settled in Africa and
Arabia, and the principal nations
springing from them were the Egyp-
tians, Ethiopians, Lybians and Ca
naanites.
"Nimrod, the son of Cush, founded
Babylon B. c. 2245, and Asshur found
ed Nineveh a0ut 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 Qsaiah xiv. 1Q
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 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 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 affairs of Philani, 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
Tiyaled 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,
IshmaePs daughter, the latter account
able for the Chinese and the former
the Indians, who are Edomites. Judah
marries Shuat, Canaanite, of which
tribe and lineage came Christ. Joseph
marries AsenetbA an Egyptian. Moses
marries an Ethiopian.
David begat Solomon of Batnsheba,
a Canaanite. Solomon begets King
Menelik L of Abyssinia by the Queen
of Sheba (tradition).
1--WE now say to our critics that we
are not an undesirable people nor that
barbaric night is behind us, for the re-
search made and given is a matter of
history, to be traced by any who de-
sire the information. And it ought to
be an inspiration to our cowardly race
leaders who dare not speak, who stifie
the consciences OF so-called popular
fty. Be men, and whatever your per-
sonal views on intermarriage may be
co not let that allow you to sell your
civil privileges and rights for mess
of pottage. Remember that we glory
in this great race of kings and queens,
like those recently deposed in Mada-
gascar and the Hawaiian Islands, of
emperors like SoloqGe and De Saline,
of statesmen and generals like Hanni-
bal and Toussaint POverture and
Frederick Douglas, of educators like
Washington. Bowen, Kelly, Miller
ETC.; of legal lights like Lewis, Terrell,
Stroker, ETC.; of great bishops, not
only Protestant, but also Catholic.
Last, but not least, the command to
Israel against intermarriage was not a
racial one, but rather from a religious
viewpoint, lest he be contaminated
and return to be the opposite of the
Divine plan, for we think it is very
clear that all along the line they did
intermarry.
Let us stand together; let us live
and work together The Japs. Chinese
and Indians belong to us, and the day
that there is gathering together, q
greater sound than perhaps the valley
of dry bones, we may have to fight, Il
not with gun and sword, with tongue
and pen. Up ye mighty men, and LEI
not the curse of Meroz rest on you!
And, though we die in the struggle
yet from our grave the echo will come
'Dulce ct decorua est por Fratel
Mori"
