Name in Genesis.
Several times in the book OF
\ Genesis you will find the name Offer
mentioned and Peters, the great Ger
Imam philosopher tells us that that
word Offer means Africa, and that the
temples and riches, referred to there,
are those of that big dark continent.
These very walls were built to keep
the natives away from those who wish
led to protect themselves in order to
gather the riches and jewels that were
there then and are there now. These

all astronomical and orientation signs
will point to that very thing. Why
these great temples and walls were
old and gray headed when the pyra-
mids were set up, and they were all
built before Ham was born. They

be the whitest of white and those at

find dark people at the poles and the
light ones at the equator and the
whole thing is mixed up from that the

"Then it has been said that the

Explains Characteristics.
The characteristics of the true
Ethiopian We're explained by DR.. Rich
ards. He said that it had been scien-
tifcally explained that the skin of the
man who lived in the extremely hot
countries was that color because of
the fact that black is such a good non
conductor of heat. saying that the pig
ments in or under the skin of the
Ethiopian were so arranged that he
could take in heat and give it off again
without any trouble. He stated that
his hair was round and projected from
the scalp at exactly a right angle, be-
ling arranged SO to allow a perfect
spiring and evaporation through the
scalp

cooling process for the breathing APP

or. He closed his address by saying
that a mixed race was always the
weaker for it and urged that whites
and blacks stay in their own races. He
said that the white people had been
the chosen race by the Almighty, as
told in the bible, and said: you ought
to be better than these other people
who have never had the chance that
you had had; if the Ethiopian is your
equal then you are not what you ought
to be. He can be man and be a
Christian, for there are over 100000
