I'd Prevent further wars by teaching the so-called
themselves about white supremacy with only three-tenths
OF the worlds population. They must be taught that
color is due to climatic conditions. They must be taught
that seven-tenths of the worlds population is made up Of
darker races. They must be taught that the rays Of sun
that blaze upon the equator and turn the skin brown do
not affect the power of the brain any more than the cold
ness OF icy glaciers affect the brain of the white race:
and that the darker races will not continue to be crushed
by a money mad few. If the Fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood OF Man are not welded into the hearts of this
worlds family now, by teaching the principles laid down
oy our Saviour. it will be welded into the hearts of our
children some day soon, on the bloodiest battIefieIds fhis
world has ever known.
