The Progress of the Races
Why Are There Different Colors of the Human Race?
As the name Adam implies that he was a Red man, we gather that the orignal color of the human race was red, like the American Indian or the Chinese. According to the anthropologist, the color of the Human Race and texture of the hair, came about from climatic causes. I verily believe what the anthropologist have said about the color of the Human Race and texture of the hair, and even more.
I believe that the Lord made the black woman for the black man, the brown woman for the brown man, the red woman for the red man, the white woman for the white man, and the yellow woman for the yellow man. And if every man, as far as possible, would select his wife, according to his color and nationality, it would doubtless obliterate the hue and cry about social equality. Social equality is a personal matter, and no statutory law will ever be able to regulate it. What the Colored people need in the United States, is educational equality, industrial equality, political equality, and business equality. With these prerequisites, I believe they will almost invariably succeed, anywhere, and everywhere.
Within the next 500 hundred years, more or less, immigration, amalgamation, and miscegenation, will make such a blending of the colors of the Human Race, that the Human Race will be reduced to one color as at the beginning. The radio and television, will make one language.
When I was a school boy, China alone contained one third of the population of the globe, but now it is said she contains about one fourth. Immigration and amalgamation, probably brought this decrease. The white people contain about one ninth of the population of the globe, and the darker people about eight ninths. President Lincoln once said, He believed the Lord loved the poor people more than he did the rich, because he made more of them. So I say: I believe the Lord loved the darker people more than he did the White, because he made more of them.

WHOLESALE DIVORCES
Divorce, a legal dissolution of the marriage relation. The law regulating this subject is found in Deut. 24: 1-4. The ground of divorce is a point on which the Jewish Doctors of the period of the New Testament differed widely. The Schools of Shammai seeming to limit it to moral delinquincy in the woman, whilst that of Hillel extended it to trifling causes, that is, if the wife burnt the food she was cooking for her husband.
The Pharisees wished to embroil our Savior with these rival schools by their questions, Matt. 19: 3. The Pharisees also, came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him; Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, for this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore, they are no more
The Progress of the Races
twain, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man put asunder. Matt. 19: 3-6.
At the beginning, it was not intended for husband and wife to separate and divorce. But the hardness of men’s hearts and polygamy, brought about this breech in society, and caused divorce.
We are drifting from our moorings, annulment of marriage, and the divorce evil, have become so rampant, in the United States, that something, morally, religiously and lawfully, will have to be done to prevent the home from stranding upon the rocks. As goes the home, so goes the nation.
There are at least ten different grounds for divorce in the United States, namely, Adultery, Cruelty, Desertion, Non-Support, Alcoholism, Felony, Im-potency, Pregnancy at marriage, Drug-Addiction, Fraudulent Contract, and other causes.
It would be a glorious thing, if all the Protestant Churches in the United States would stand up for the sanctity marriage, and against divorce, like the Roman Catholic Church, and the State of South Carolina. I have every reason to believe that the Congress of the United States, would pass a law against Wholesale Divorces, and make adultery the only grounds for divorce. The United States would then become a modern Eden, and I verily believe that all Christendom would follow in her steps.
The World Almanac, of 1950, gives the following statistics of marriage and divorce in the United States for 1947:
Marriages...................	2,000,000
Divorces ................................................	450,000
A divoxxe for every 3 or 4 marriages, this is a reflection upon a Christian nation. Righteousness exalteth a nation. But sin is a reproach to any people. Prov. 14: 34.

Safe for Democracy
Make the world safe for democracy was the slogan of the United States in the World War. The White race waged the war but it took all the races of the world to settle it. The result was that the world was not only made safe for democracy but it was made safe for the White race. The White race is still in the lead and doubtless will remain in the lead as long as they lead right. When selfishness and prejudice are removed from the hearts of men and righteousness is implanted therein, wars will cease and universal peace will prevail. When the dominant race shall be willing to apply the Golden Rule to all the races of the earth, and especially to the American Negro, who is ever loyal to this country, both in time of war and peace,
I believe peace on earth, good will toward men, will be ours. When the White man can be made to believe that the Negro is his best friend in this country, he probably will be willing to give him a square deal. If the Negro helped to make the world safe for the White man, why not the White man make America safe, at least for the Negro? Make him safe with the ballot.
