Noes Curse-C1an, and the Negro

the conversion of Africa to Christian
ity, into which this idea of curse
upon the Africs, the sons and
daughters of Cham, has crept. So
We may be pardoned for asking: rs
there, really, curse upon the
Negroes"
1t is well, in all questions, to go
back to sources. In the matter be-
fore us, We shall have to be guided
not by what so or so said but by the
Bible, which is the only source from
which we may CLEAN what happened
on the day when Cham sinned
against his father Noe. Now the
Bible reads: Genesis TX: 21-27)
Noe drinking of the wine was made
drunk, and was uncovered in his
tent. Which when Cham the father
Chanaan had seen he told
1t to his brethren without. But
Sem and Japheth put cloak upon
their shoulders, and going backward,
covered the nakedness of their
father; and their faces were turned
away Ond Noe awakening
from the wine, when he had learned
what his youger son had done to him,
he said: Cursed be Chanaan, a serv-
ant Of servants shall he be unto his
brethren. And he said: Blessed be
the Lord God of Sem. be Chanaan n
his servant. May God enlarge Jap
heth and may he dwell in the tents of
Sem, and Chanaan be his servant. "
Such is the narrative of Holy Scrip
ture. What does it prove? Most
assuredly, it does not prove that
there is curse upon the Negroes.
Perhaps, you will remember from
your studies of the Bible that Noes
son, Cham. had four sons, Chus,
Mesram, Phuth and Chanaan. OF
these four the three first Travelled
southwark. From them chiefly
sprang all the tribes that peopled
the African continent. Chanaan, the
last son, became the father of the
tribes that principally occupied the
territory of Phoenicia and Palestine,
If you will read the geneaiogy of the
children of Noe. as told in Genesis,
Chapter X, You will find "Chanaan
begot Sidon, his first-born, the
Hethite, and the Jebusite. and the
Amorrhite, and the Gergesite, the

River Bandit Specializes
in Women, for Ransom

Galatz, ROumania.-Operatin up
and down the Danube river in a pow
erful motorboat armed with a machine
gun, Terenti, notorious pirate, is still
at large despite the united efforts Of
both Rumanian and Hungarian police
to catch him. One of his late adveu-
lures was to fight his way through a
company Of Rumanian soldiers near
Braila.
Terenti makes a speciality of cap
lures for ransom, and he prefers to
gather In women and children of we'll

along the river, who are friendly to

them away in his speedy boat before

story is told of Charles II. of
England that he once proposed a
question to some learned men of his
day. why is it," asked the king,
that a live fish weighs less in the
water than when 1t is dead?" The
puzzled men of science scratched
their heads and many specious
reason for so curious a phenomenon
was adduced. Finally 1t dawned
upon one of their number, that 1t
might be just as we'll, before going
farther, to test the truth of the fact.
The experiment being made, it was
found that the live fish didn't weigh
less in the water. Catholics, accused
by non-Cathoiic of many things, will
answer by fiat denial: why does
the Church forbid Catholics to read
the bible?" 1T doesn't" we answer.
why do Catholics adore the Virgin
as though she were equal to God 1"
Catholics don't"
We often think of the foregoing
when questions are put or arguments
arise regarding the Negro race.
Hackneyed statements on the Ne
groes are most common, especially in
certain places and among certain
people. How shall these be answer
ed? In the same manner as the
scientists answered Charles III, or
Catholics answer non-Catholics.
There Is widespread belief that
the Negroes were cursed in their
father Cham, that they were con-
demned to be the slaves of their
brethren. And many a white person
holds, that in consequence of Noes
curse, the Negroes, the offspring of
Cham, have been turned black. We
know that, as children, we were
taught to flee sins of immodesty from
a salutary fear of the punishment of
Cham and his descendants. Cham
looked upon his uncovered father and
jested thereof. Noe, hearing what
his son had done, cursed Cham and
his progeny; they became black and
were to be slaves forever. So we
were taught: and we shall not admit
for one moment that prejudice
prompted our teachers, nor shall we
try to deny that the bugaboo must
do its work and have a salutary
effect with white children as regards
modesty. We know of a prayer, in
dulgenced and to be offered up fol

they been able to stay up within
