cost.

There is a height, a great height, that man can reach if he will; but if once reached he must, by the unalterable law of growth and decay, stub his toe on the pinnacle of fame, and fall back to mother earth from whence he rose. This is the way Nature maintains equilibrium at whatever The wonderful blending of the various branches of the Aryan race with itself and other races in America, produces results never heretofore attained in the history of man: America is the battle ground of the races. It is the place assigned by our all-wise Ruler to be the gathering place for all people, and the feeble cry raised against the amalgamation of the races is but the whine of past glory that dies hard. The Caucasian race yet stands supreme. If this people, who is destined to elevate all mankind, fears the inroad of foreign blood, it battles against its highest interests, casts a shadow of disapproval upon its path of unsurpassed triumphs, and tolls the bell of its own doom. Japan was a barbarous country not long since; today it demands the respect and cordial treatment of every nation, and woe to the one who gives it not. The AfroAmerican has the same constitutional qualities yet undeveloped, and to continue the enmity be

tween the races indefinitely, would prove fatal to all. To insure the continued supremacy of the Caucasian in America, it is not only advisable, but necessary, to absorb all the other races who have come here, even at the expense of the loss of pure blood thus incurred. A mixed race is the greatest race; none excepted. The Motive Temperament is characterized in the Caucasian by large bones, strong, hard muscles, prominent joints, and an angular figure; and the height is rather above the average. In the Negro the shoulders are broad, the abdomen is moderately full, the face oblong, the cheek bones rather high, the jaw large, the teeth strong, the features in general rugged, the nose large and broad, and very little superfluous adipose tissue is found in his face or body. The head is rather broad from ear to ear and high in the region of Firmness and Self-Esteem, while the forehead of the blackest is generally receding, and those of mixed breed may be more or less prominently developed in the Receptive, Reflective and Cognative, above the average Negro, of little foreign blood.

CHAPTER X

THE BRAIN AND THE MIND

THE MAKING OF A PERFECT MAN. -Nature has paramount objects in the crossing of the various peoples and races of marked dissimilarities, physically and mentally. These objects are; first, to elevate the lower; second, to produce a finer, more symmetrical body; third, to produce a finer-grained, higher developed brain, through which the mental faculties of the omnipotent, omnipresent, omnitient Mind (God) can act more freely; and finally, to bring about equilibrium.

Thomas Martin McWhinney, D. D., in “Reason and Revelation," published in 1886, touches upon this profound thought when he says: "Man's mission on earth is to find out the divine methods, and to bring himself into harmony with their administration. And if through indifference or stupidity he fails to find out God's ordained means of development and glory, but substitutes those of his own foolish imagination, then, at best, he can only hope to be evolved into an imbecile or a monstrosity. The infinite Creator's ideal man will never be forthcoming. *

He that would make life a grand success, death a triumphant victory, and heaven a glorious reality, must consent to the fact that his chief business on earth is, by persistent strivings, to bring himself into harmony with the administration of

heaven's plan of bringing him out into full stature of a perfect man. God's method of making a symmetrical and perfect man ever was, is now, and we are led to believe, always will be the same."
