A Kopiy by Rev. S.P. Richer Ison,
D. R., <o a Sermon i y 'Jr. Tal
in ,t?e.P.nr.chod in Brook
lyn, N. Y., March 21,
On “'t:se l. :.:iiry] Status, Unixi;’’ra
tion Eihologv, and the Amal
gamation of all -ho Races.”
Text Acts xvii arid paid o!' Ihu
Riyi.ii v*;;i vc, “And hath rn?ide a/one
biood a ! nations,’" (the whole
veri-e) <>l men tor i< dwell on all
ihe i'uce o ; the earth, and hath de
tc. mined the limes before appoint
<-<!. and tiie hounds of their liabitu
tion.’" The whole verse shows clear
ly that God, instead of intending
to unh a by immigration and amal
gamation all nationalities, before
determined and appointed thoir
bounds of separaiioa. lie gave Af
rica lo Ham, Asia to Shem and Eu
rope and the West to Japheth.
He also gave form, brain and color
to each family suited lo develop
the countries where he placed
them.
Dr. Talmage says; “The advant
age of the influx of nations, through
mighty addilions of foreign popu
lation to our native population I
think God is giving, to fill this land
will) a race of people 95 per cent,
superior to anything the world has
ever seen. Marriage outside one’s
own nationality and with another
style of nationality is a mighty
gain.”
The doctor lhen speaks of him
self and of the very great gain by
in. lug the Scotch and Irish. Tal
j:. i r e knows that the European na
lions are largely made up of the
virile or Japhetic race, all of the
one primordial race. The Doctor
is a great man in some respects,
but vuat- would he have been if
only Scotch and Irish blood had

United States a great caldron, in
wide:, to mix all races and all na
tionalises; and to iormulate in
this caklron, out of all races, anew
race or manhood “95 per cent, su
perior to anything this world has
aver seen.”
J'he doctor proves, as he thinks,
from his garbled text, and scientif
ic analysis of single part of
ran, “the blood,” that all men are
ihe same, Now. if the doctor real
ly wanted lo be fair in his presenta
tion of.his subject to the world,
why did lie not subject the hair,
skin, bones and odor of all the rac
3s to the same annalysis? Why
mst take one thing, “ihe blood. ’

donor proposes, irilli his great

black and Indian, all mixed up m

r.oihingl'keDr, Taltnage s beauty,
nor was the 95 per cent, beyond
anything I had ever seen. The
whUe and yellow were ve:y much
marred in (he mixture, and the
black not much improved if at all.
The mulatto may, in some respect,
but he an improvement on the ne
gro, but lie is cerlainly no improve
ment on the while man, and in the
long run the mulatto, like ail the
other hybrids, becomes extinct.
My long observation goes to prove
that in mixing the races all are
weakened and none benetitted.
a'l the different families of the
same race may bo benetitted by
mixing, like Ihe Scotch and Irish,
but never by mixing the races. II
God had mtendedthe amalgam tion
oi" all the races, why did He, by
creation, or miraculous interposi
r'oil separate the races, and ap
point them bounds, and give to
eich the place of his kabilation.
The negro is not a human inven
tion, nor is the white or yellow
man, but a divine appointment.
The three colors are primordial,
and are not radically changed by
food or climate. The negro was
black four thousand years ago, as
-he is now, God says he an not
change his skin nay more than the
leopard can change his spot?, and
yet the doctor would change God’s
decree.
Europe and Ike North brought
the negro from his God-given home
and sold him te the South, then be
coming dissatisfied with what they
had done, destroyed a half million
of Southern white people to set
the four million’of negroes free.
In their modes of warfare they
showed that they were capable of
the deepest depravity, and really
acted worse than common savages.
Now' they are dissatisfied with the
freedom of fhe negro, and their
most popular and sensational di
vine sounded the bugle note on the
3rd of March in Brooklyn, N. Y.,
to rig up a big caldron info which
he proposes to cast both negroes
and whites, and sfew them belli
down tea common mulatto, and
destroy both the white and black
races and substitute them with
a race of mulattoe*. a type of humani
ty God never made. There is not a
mulatto or mule in the primordial type
in the kingdom of nature. The Bible,
experience and God in universal na
ture, are all pronounced against the
amalgamatien of the races. I have
never known a Scotch-Irishman,
Dutchman or Englishman, not even a
cold blooded Yankee to improve their
pos'aiity by mixing with negroes and
Indians. Nor have I ever known the
negro or Indian much improved by
mixiDg with them. Tito real facts are,
the negro baa no mere affinities for the
j white and yellow races, than ileyka’*
! for him.
Dr. Ttltnv e ‘■ays: “ Third wan
time when 1 entertained race preju
dice?, hut thinks to God that prejn
j dies is "coo, and if I ? v-t in church
on one cide a olack man and on the
other si.l* and Indian and let re me a
GhiaamSa and behind me si Turk, I
would be an happy as I am now fraud
iug in the presence oi this brilliant
udience; the sooner wagot this cor p-e of
race prejudice buried the healthier will
ho (not oar Northern) but American
atmosphere ’’ This is the most pro
nounced social equality and aiuelgama
tion I Lave ever heard Lorn any man.
I have denied that the Nor them church
es hold any such views, and that it
was only a ghost of Southern imagina
tion. Dr. Talmage is a representative
ui: a, and knows the mind aaj feelings
of the no th.
Dr. Talmage ought to be a good
Rroabyteiian and let Gel’s divino de
crees alone. Did Gkid not erda’n the
race? The doctor ougl tto be tried
for heiesy and put out of the chureh
for trying to violate, the divine derees
by mak'ng mulatioss out of people
which God has made white and black.
I would suggest to the good doctor
aud his brilliant congregation, to make
the experiment of mixing the races on
a smaller scale, and not hare so large
aLi rural all at once. Let one of the
dovtor’s daughters marry a negro, and
auother a Chinaman, and another a
Hottentot and then let hia Elders fol
low his example, and take time and
see if, on small scale, they can pro
duce 95 per cent above anjth ng the
world has ever seon. Then show his
picture of this new development to hia
northern friends, who drive the negro
children out of their white public
sehools. If the north will fix tip large
gardens and invite fhe negroes to come
up north among their friends, and then
eatir into a heaity amalgamation, the
ne, ro problem may be solved.
It the good doctor will take the
time and pains to review the history
of nations, their decay aud final fa)’,
he Wifi see that in most instances their
tain was the result, both religiously
and politically of mixing nations and
amalgamation. God forbade the Jews to
mix with other nations. Dr, T&l
--mage, in the face of the Bible, propos
es to build np a gieat nation out of the
Very causes that have destroyed great
er nations. 1 have bo doubt but our
good Pr. Talmageaud brilliant Brook
lyn congregations would suffer cruoi
fixion before they would mix their fami
lies with negroes, Chinamen and Hot
tentots. This great country his been
built up, not by the Hamstie or Shem
etic races, but by the children of Jap
heth—English, Dutch, Sootch and
Irish, and the country will never be
injured by the immigration of those
nationalities, or our amalgamation with
them. lam English and German, but
no negro or Chinaman. An English
man or Scotchman is not a foreigner
in this oountry, but one of the same
white family. S P. RichakdSOV.
Gladstone at the age ot eighty is
eaid to be good for a tramp of twenty
miles. Aud why not? At the sar e
age Aaron Burr could outwalk ai y
youngster in New York. His hair did
not have a thread of gray, and he was
so handsome and faseinating that his
wife separated from him, because she
oelieved him to be unfaithful. With
his eorreet habits and carefnl mode ot
life, Gladstone ought o be a better
man physically than Burr, who had in
jured his constitution by reckless ex o
.me and dissipation. There is no rea
son in the world why a man of eighty
thn ld not be strong and active both
n u ind and body.
