The Negro A Beast In The Image Of GOD

MAN, AND THE NEGRO. 37

and ''races." The effort of modern Christianity
to mix this atheistic theory that man is a
*
'species" divisible into "races" with the scriptural
teaching- that man is a distinct creation, ''in the
imag"e of God," must prove disastrous both in time and
in eternity. Take any two different elements and
mix them, and the product
is neither the one nor the
other of the originals; each of the orig-inals in their
purity no longer exist; and the product resulting from
their mixture is
merely a compound
in which is
blended the characters peculiar to each. So it is in
this case. The teachings of the Bible that man is a
distinct creation, *'in
the image of God," and the theory
that man is a "species of ape
divisible into races
of men" are opposites.
Hence, the effort of professed
Christians to mix the two has resulted
in the destruction
of Christianity from the earth; and also the destruction
of the theory of Natural Development,
to the
extent to which it has been mixed with scripture.
The theory of Natural Development in its purity is
only found among those who reject
the Bible in its
entirety. And pure Christianity will never again
shed its radiance upon man's pathway to the grave
until the church as an organi:?ation, and each individual
member of it utterly repudiates
the atheistic theory
of Natural Development,
with all its
demoralizing
teachings, its degrading influences, and its misleadingterms.
