The Great Sin Of Prejudice Against Color

Children,


who made your skin white?

Was it not God?

Who made mine black?

Was it not the same God?

Am I to blame, therefore,

because my skin is black?

Does it not cast a reproach

on our Maker

to despise a part of His children,

because He has been pleased

to give them a black skin?

Indeed, children, it does;

and your teachers ought to tell you so,

and root up, if possible,

the great sin of prejudice

against color from your minds.



While Sabbath School Teachers

know of this great sin,

and not only do not teach

their pupils that it is a sin,

but too often indulge in it themselves,

can they expect God

to bless them or the children?



Does not God love colored children

as well as white children?

And did not the same Savior

die to save the one as well as the other?



If so,

white children must know

that if they go to Heaven,

they must go there

without their prejudice against color,

for in Heaven

black and white

are one in the love of Jesus.



Now children,

remember what Sojourner Truth has told you,

and thus get rid of your prejudice,

and learn to love colored children

that you may be

all the children of your Father

who is in Heaven.
