ETHIOPlANS IN
ANCIENT TIMES
Greek and Hebrew Scholars
Sung Their Virtues.
CALLED BLAMELESS RACE.

eook by the Late Edward WiImot BLY,.
den Gives Many Interesting Facts
About the Achievements Of the An
eestors Of the colorsd Race In the
United States.
In his book entitled islam Christian
fly and the Negro Race" the late DR.
Edward Wilmot Blyden delved deeply
into both sacred and profane history.
showing that Africans were not un.
known to the writer's Of the Bible.
Their peculiarities Of complexion and
hair were as we'll known to the ancient
Greeks and Hebrews as they are to the
American people today. And when
they spoke of the Ethiopians they
meant the ancestors Of the people Of
black skin who for $50 years have been
known as laborers on the plantations
Of the south.
1t is to these people and to their coun-
try that the psalmist refers when he
says, Ethiopia shall soon stretch out
her hand unto God" OF the hospital
fly and kindness of Africans he writes:
And this popularity Of Africans is not
a thing known only in modern times.
The ancients recognized these qualities
and loved to descant upon them. They
seemed to regard the fear and love of
God as the peculiar gifts Of the darker
races. In the version Of the Chaldean
Genesis as given by George Smith the
following passage occurs: The word
Of the Lord wilfnever fail in the mouth
of the dark races whom he has made"
Homer and Herodotus have written
immortal eulogies of the race. Homer
speaks Of them as "the blameless ETH;
opians" and tells us that it was the
Ethiopians alone among mortals whom
the gods selected as people f1t to be
lifted to the social level Of the Olym-
plan divinities. Every year." the poet
says, "the whole celestial circle left the
SUBMITS Of Olympus and betook them
selves for their holidays to Ethiopia.
where in the enjoyment Of Ethiopian
hospitality they sojourned twelve days.
Lucian represents skeptic, a free
thinker, Of his day, as saying in his
irreverence toward the gods that on
certain occasions they do not hear the
prayers Of mortals in Europe, because
they are away across the ocean, per-
haps among the Ethiopians, with whom
they dine frequently, on their own in
vitation." 1t shows the estimate in
which the ancients held the Africans,
that they selected them as the only fit
associates for their gods.
The country itself has been called
the cradle Of civilization, and so it Is.
The germs Of all the sciences and Of
the two great religions now professed
by the most enlightened races were
fostered in Africa. Science, in its
latest wonders. has nothing to show
equal to some Of the wonderful things
even now to be seen in Africa.
On African soil stands that marvel.
lOus architectural pile, the great pyr.
amid, which has been the admiration
and despair Of the world for hundred
generations. Scientific men Of the pres
ent day, mathematicians, astronomers
and divines, regard it as a sort Of key
to the universal symbol Of the pro
foundest truths Of science, Of religion
and Of all the past and future history
of man

wide fame as lecturer. His favorite
subject is up the Ladder of Free
dom," being rapid glance at the
struggles of the race In this country
from 1919 to TIE present time Rev.
Mr.. Smiths work as lecturer is high
ly indorsed by prominent ministers and
educators. The lecture is illustrated
with pictures showing the condition of
the race in slavery days and the prog
ress which it has made during forty
seven years Of freedom.
The services Of the lecturer are in
great demand by both white and col
ored people. 1t gives'the former bet
ter idea of what the race has accom-
plished as free citizens as well as the
hrdships which the race underwent as
slaves. 1t wins friends for the cause
Of justice and equality before the law
for which the colored people must con-
tinue to contend for as long as their
rights and privileges are jeopardized
by a race discriminating public upon
the unreasonable ground Of color.
Rev. Mr.. Smith is Virginian by
birth and is well educated. AS pastor
he has done good work Of uplift
among his parishioners. Some of his
friends have endeavored to induce him
to give up lecturing and devote his
whole time to the ministry, but he says
that he feels called Of God to do both.
He is man of great ambition and is
al thoughtful as he is ambitious. He
is preacher CT known ability and the
author OF severR. pamphlets on various

Hiahsr and Industrial Education.

Leaders Of thought and action in
educational affairs are pretty much
agreed that for the. successful uplift Of
the masses of the race both higher
and industrial education should be
given. The race needs above all else

classes and conditions. No one line Of

JACK JOHNSON QUESTIONED
Asked About Whereabouts OF White
Girl,

Chicago, Oct. 1S.-For more than an
hour police questioned Jack Johnson,
the negro pugilist, regarding the
whereabouts of Miss Lucille Cameron
nineteen years old, for whom the girls
mother, Mrs. F. Oameron-Falconet, a
wealthy Minneapolis woman, had
asked the police to search.
The pugilist admitted the girl had
been employed as cashier in his cafe,
but refused to tell her present ad
dress, although he said he knew where
she is located. He pleaded that Miss
Cameron was anxious to avoid further
notoriety because of the recent sui.
eide of his wife. Miss Cameron, he
said, had been companion to his
wife.
