But thou, son of man, hear what I say unto thee, be not thou rebellious, like that rebellious house, open thy mouth and eat what I give thee.
Now my friends, Mr. Garvey has opened his mouth and has eaten the word of God, so he has got to do what God tells him; and it is strange to the people because it is not their ways, and the leaders of the people to try to hold them from this back to Africa movement, but the Lord God said they shall go, not all of the old mothers and fathers; they shall stay here and in their homes all over the world, but the young men and women will go to build up a government for themselves, so that we may be represented all over the world as a nation of people governing themselves, and not looking up to another nation, and their God to lead us, or to exploit us and keep us in ignorance. Ezekiel 3; 55. For thou art not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard tongue, language, but to the house of Israel.
But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee, for they will not hearken unto me, for all the house of Israel are impudent and hard-hearted.
Behold I have made thy face strong against their face and thy forehead strong against their foreheads.
As an adamant harder than flint have I made their forehead. Fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
Moreover, he said unto me, son of man, all my words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thine heart, and hear with thine ears.
And go get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children, of thy people, and speak unto them and tell them. Thus saith the Lord God, whether they will hear or whether they will forebear; 17. Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel, therefore hear the word at my mouth and give them warning from me.
Why does this great man go into politics? Why does a dog go into the swamp and the man with the gun stay on the outside?
Mr. Garvey goes into politics to run you out of the white man’s business, and to beat you at your own game. He knows if you continue to dabble in the white man’s business, when you are only parasites in their country, that you will put a man of a class of men in office who will see that we as a race will have to pack up and get out, because we are noisy. They will say, go to your own country and build yourself a government of your own, and all you want. If you know how to run our government or how it ought to be run, you can run one for yourselves, so go to it. For myself, I have not voted in twenty years. I have all I can do, to obey the laws that are made by the white man in this country, and all of them respect me because I keep out of their business.
How does this man Garvey know all things, how to unite seven million black people all over the world? The white man did not tell him, but he has done it. Let us search the holy scripture and find out. The secret comes from God, let us see Job 28; 12. But where shall wisdom be found and where is the place of understanding.
