Chapter I.

In these times, when so much is being said and done against the Hamitic race by the learned, the unlearned, by teachers, professors and statesmen, trying to impress upon the world the idea that the black man never was anybody, and there was never anything of note connected with his history; and going so far as to even deny the possibility of his ever being fit to associate with the rest of mankind, no matter what his education, religion or refinement might be; and speaking of him as though he had always been dishonorable in the estimation of mankind and in the estimation of his God; I have thought it necessary, therefore, in these times when every man's hand seems to be against the negro, trying to crush him and sink him into oblivion, to show that he has been honored by the greatest men of earth and by his God.

The Lord God not only honored the black man by allowing him to bear the cross of Jesus Christ, which he did when white men were leading Him away to lynch or to murder Him, and as they lynched all of the apostles, excepting one.

God honored Ham by allowing or having His Son Jesus Christ carry negro blood in His veins. The black man, while bearing the cross for Christ and following after Him, represents the whole Christian Church bearing the cross and following after Christ, but he had the Christian's badge and glory everywhere, and it represents the Church itself, and a black man was the first to wear that badge in the world that Jesus came to save; and to the writer's mind this was great honor indeed.

Shem was the progenitor of patriarchs, prophets, of the Jews and of Christ, and on these accounts the renown of the house of Shem has been great in all the earth, and into this renowned family Ham, the black man, married, and he, too, thereby became the ancestor of David and of Christ.

This brings us to the thought that the black and white people have always intermixed. Their intermixing dates as far back as Abraham; for Abraham's son, Ishmael, was born of Hagar of Egypt, a black woman (Genesis,
