1. Just at the time when the nations of the earth through their ill education and oppression, believed that they had ruined the children of Ethiopia for ever, and that they would be satisfied with the crumbs of life.
2. Behold the great God Almighty hath commanded his angels to anoint them that they be a new and prolific people upon the earth.
3. Then did the Lord God with his own hands ordain three apostles and sent them forth to save Ethiopia’s generation from doom.
4. Now when Marcus Garvey, God’s foremost apostle, heard the voice of his colleague, apostle Robert Lincoln Poston, preaching in the City of Detroit, Michigan, United States of America, he knew that this was his colleague for the Lord God hath revealed, notwithstanding the three apostles had met in the spirit before they came to administer the law and gospel for the full salvation of Ethiopia’s posterities.
5. And it came to pass that apostle Garvey journeyed to Detroit and there met his colleague and they greeted each other with great joy, and the heart of one was the heart of the other.
6. Now when the amalgamation of their apostleship was verified, apostle Poston came to New York City, United States of America, and then teamed with apostle Garvey in the work for the redemption of Ethiopia and her trodden posterities, whom through the oppression of the nations and the ignorance of the Negro ministers of Christian faith, were hanging over the bridge of death, both body and soul.
CHAPTER 2.
GOD SPOKE TO HIS APOSTLE.
1. Now in the year nineteen hundred and twenty-three, the word of the Lord God of Ethiopia came to apostle Marcus Garvey saying, where is thy colleague?
2. And he answered, Father, behold he is with me.
3. Call together the children of Ethiopia, saith the Lord, that they may know my request, and send forth a mission unto the land of Ethiopia which I hath given to her children from the beginning of the world, that they prepare a foundation for all the posterities of Ethiopia, even unto the end.
