The Negro A Beast In The Image Of GOD

352 MAN, AND THE NEGRO,
identically the same terms. No utterance more
unadulterated with the least ting-e of scripture ever
flowed from the pen of Haeckel, it is atheism pure
and simple.
We have contended that Christianity has fled the
earth, and the Church of Christ has been absorbed
and destroyed by atheism, and nothing- could more
fully sustain our contention than the very fact that,
in a professedly Christian age and in a professedly
Cnristian land, the shameless utterances of this
Doctor of Divinity has stood unassailed for more than
thirty years, to demoralize, negroize, degrade and
damn every man and woman whose misfortune it
may
have been to read and accept
it.
Dr. Young says:
"The Negro (and of course all the
other varieties of men), belongs to the species — man;
he is one of the varieties."
In order to disprove this statement of Dr. Young's
and disabuse Bible -believing people
of the absurd idea
— that there is such a thing as a "species man," it is only
necessary to ascertain what constitutes a "species.*'
The French naturalist, M. de Quatrefages, in discussing
the relationship between species and races,
says : * *
Species is the unit and the races are the factions
of this unit." (The Human Species, p. 40.)
