Not only is this distinctive unity of soul, of mind, of intelligence, the predominating feature of the creation, known as “man,” but his physical characteristics outside the mere skin deep differences, are exactly the same.
Modern scientists, known as “biologists,” that is, men who investigate the origin of physical life in men, have advanced so far that they know and can easily demonstrate that there are no physical differences.
The infinitely small cells called “protoplasms,” which make up the tissues of the human body, and which are present everywhere, plainly visible to the eye under a microscope, are exactly the same in every human being whatever his race or color, condition, education, environment, etc.
All the machinery upon which these small cells of life operate and give action, energy, and duration—the heart, the nerves, the blood, and all the organs essential or co-operative, are identically the same.
Men have tried to find a difference in the physical make-up of the various races but they have signally failed. They have even endeavored to compare the blood and cells of inferior animals such as apes, going so low as the common monkey, to show that some of the races originated in what is known as the “Anthropoid Ape,” so as to bolster up the doctrine of evolution and maintain the existence of an exclusively, special God created race of men, of which they are the sole and exclusive exponents, but they, also, have signally failed, and all men today, proven by science demonstrating the truths of Holy Writ, stand upon the same psychological, or soul plane, whether his skin be black, yellow, brown, red, white or any other color or shade of color. They are all part and parcel of the Divine movement which is impelling man toward a universal psychological unity. Any man or nation that attempts to bar the way, is submerged or cast aside like a straw before an avalanche. This is written upon the pages of history so clearly, that it is beyond controversy.
PROGRESS OF THE DIFFERENT RACES OF MANKIND
Marvelous Rise of the Japanese from Barbarism in Five Decades—The Jews without a National Government Rule the Finances and Commerce of the World—China in Contact with Civilization Has Created a Great Republic—The American Indian Raised From Savagery to Peaceful, Profitable Pursuits—The Colored American’s Part and Opportunities in the Great Onward Movement
A reader of history who does not go deeper than the mere words in books, sees nothing but confusion in the steady, onward march of all mankind from the dawn of creation to the present time.
We hope to bring something easily understood out of this chaos, that will be of benefit to the Colored Americans, and put them in line with the great movement of the human family toward universal peace and prosperity. We expect to show that he is an essential factor in the human race, and that he has performed his part when his ancestors, the powerful kings of Ethiopia, brought civilization and the art of working metals into Egypt, as far as Asia, and into Europe.
The most learned ethnologists hold that there was a time in the history of the human race when all mankind were unified, and that through different causes operating upon passion for power, religious differences and climatic necessities, they became separated and split into divisions each of which claimed supremacy, and made war upon the others who denied it.
Wherever we begin the national history of any nation or tribe, we find them separate from every other nation and tribe, individual entities with their own laws and government.
