The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1923-09-22

of Matthew was supposed to have
been written. The birth of Christ
was unfxed until about three hundred
years after the beginning of the
Christian era. In fact it was not fixed
as the 25th of December until about
the fourth century, and this by the
Roman Church. The birth, cruel
fixion, resurrection and ascension are
today questions which cannot be de-
cided by reference to the four Cos
pels. But we do know that the doc
trine of forgiveness of sin is a pre-
MUM on crime.
The permnicious doctrine of race
superiority, the contempt of race pre-
iudice, and the injustice of religious
intolerance. all find their Qualifications
in the Bible. White God, White An
gels, White Virgin-mother, White
Apostles. And to them I may add in
modern times we have White, Presi-
dents, Kings, Queens, Judges, Con-
gressmen, Legislators, and Ku Klux
Klans. and black followers and wor-
shippers.
The doctrine of White Supremacy
with all of it's injustices, inconsistent
cies and cruelties has it's foundation
in teachings from the Bible. "It is
rot meet to take the children's bread
and cast it to the dogs" Matthew
XIV, 26.) The white doctor and den-
fist who refuse to administer to the
suffering of colored humanity possess
the contemplate attitude as the kind
ard loving Jesus bore to the sup
plant. In reference to the intolerance
inspired through Bible teaching, we
find this in (Remsburg) the Bible.
"What CHASTITY fruits these teachings
have produced!
We see the earth covered with yell
low bones of murdered heretics and
scholars; we see the prosecutions and
butcheries Of Constantine, of Theo-
dosius, of Clovis, of Justinian, and of
Charlemagne; we see the Crusades. in
which nearly twenty millions perish;
we see the followers of Godfrey in
Jerusalem-see the indiscriminate
massacre Of men, women, and chill
dren-see the mosques pilid seven
deep with murdered Saracens-
Jews burnt in their synagogues; we
see Occur de Lon slaughter in cold
blood thousands of captive Saracens;
we see the Franks in Constantinople,
plundering, ravishing, murdering; we
see the Moors expelled from Spain !;
we see the murder of the Huguenots
and Waldenses-the slaughter of
German peasants-the desolation of
Ireland-Holland covered with blood;
we witness Smithfeld and Bartholo-
NEW: we see the Inouisition with it's
countless instruments of fendish
cruelty; we see the Auto-da-fe, where
heretics, clad in mockery, are led to
Torture and to death; we see men
stretched upon the rack, disjointed,
and torn limb from limb; we see
them f1aved alive-their bleeding
bodies scared with red-hot irons: we
see them covered with pitch and oil
and set on fire; we see them hurled
headlong from towers to the stony
streets below; we see them buried
alive; we see them hanged and quar-
tered; we see their eyes bored out
with heated anger-their tongues
torn out-theirN bones broken with
harmers-their bodies pierced with
thousand needles; we see aged wo-
men tied to the heels of fiery studs
see their mangled and bleeding
bodies dragged with lightning speed
over the frozen earth; we see new
born babes flung into the flames to
rerish with their mothers, or with
their mothers sewed in sacks and
sunk into the sea: in short on every
hand, as a result of this books teach
ngs, we see hate, torture, DEATH"
Let US have, every man for our
brother, the world for church and
country, to do good for our religion,
and happiness for our goal.
