DIR. JOHNSON'S DELIBERATIONS

Rev. Harvey Johnson, ID. d., thcol
Logan and biblical research student
has sent to us from Baltimore, whcrel
he Is power for good, Il lcaflct. lid
deals with the "llamitc" and claims,
tina. the so called Negroes are dcsceh
dants from Ham and constitute thdl
only original historical nation now ind
existence. He places the Holy Bible asI
supreme in the matter of historical
knowledge and declares that accord
ing to this Good Book his position up|
on this all important question is un
assaE able. lie says:
Now what is the Law and the TcstiI
mony in rc.ation to the sons Of Ham q
What is the original testimony, u
mean? For this; we shall turn to thea
Word of God--thc BiDle~--;lnd the olilyS
original history Of the descent OF theI
human race III existence. Yet there ard
histories many, but not original; thew
arc romance ono and all whether Ger
man, Saxon, Anglo-Saxon English
French, Scotch Irish or what not i
These, and all the rest of the humanI
races on earth today, are of mythical
origin except the Hamite races They
alone, are historical IN origin. So theyE
arc neither clinical, nor mythical, bu.I
tho real descendants of Noah.
And l here and now boldly ASSERT
that or the three sons of Noah Clam
Shem, and Paphcth) Ham Is the on'yI
one or the three that exists today asI
people, and that have preserved toI
thcmfclves country. Shem and Ja-I
pheth and their descendants are comI
pletcly lost to history, or IN otheri
words have been swallowed I'D in theI
great whirl and vortex OF time, IHorI
neither Of thom over established for

CuSh. Mizraim, Phut and Canaan.
tsee Gen. 10Th Chap 1t is true that
romance writer's have tried and arcl
SUM trying, to connect Japheth w;taI
the creeks through the name Of Jay.l
an his fourth son. For they hold that

mere quote paragraph from Brown'sI
encyclopedia Of Religious Knowlcdge
IL reads: "Javan. or Ion, WAS thel
fourth son of Japheth, and tho faith.

Flo dismisses the claims OF profane|
history rs follows:
NOW Ill Of this romance ,arratiyej
IL based on the mere fact that the
hamc JaVan Is found in Isaiah 66.1eI
ana E2ek1el 27:13. Now 1t Ia n we'll
known fact That Moses is said 10 have
"rlUen Genesis and that Isaiah wrol 81
ms prophecies. And Usher, In his
; Chronology. which is in the margin oil
our Bibles, says Moses wrote about tnc|
hirth OF Javnn B. G. 2348 and thar
isaiah wrote B. G. Cos n difference nf|
, 100 years. But just think OF w.,at|
leap this is from Moses to isaiah
.nat is' seventeen hundred years. Butt
where was Javam if he lived that|
long? What country did no SET
! tes? None whatever. So he NIL that
time was doing nothing, Just like hi,|
, 1acher Japheth for there is nothing
; Whatever to his record, or to either
! OF thelr records. But after this, romanI
TIC h!"ory makes Javan yet intni
Grecce. What do they find? NothfnpI
out Il mythical people, which thel
Greeks were. Yes. most extremely az
LOT they ;sr" known to history suc,,l
as W. have Of them, to be the offsprincI

; is still more fictitious For their orr

But enough for this week. We shall
proceed further with this interesting
