in him cannot hold the priesthood & if no
other prothet ever spake it Before I will say it
now in the name of Jesus Christ I know it is true
& others know it the Negro cannot hold one particle
of Government But the day will come when all the
seed of Cane will be Redeemed & have all the Blessings
we have now & a great deal more But the seed of Abel will be ahead of the seed of Cane to all eternity
let me consent to day to mingle my seed with the
seed of Cane it would Bring the same curse upon me
And it would upon any man And if any man mingl
his seed with the seed of Cane the ownly way he could
get red of it or have salvation would be to come forward
& have his head cut off & spill his Blood upon the ground
it would also take the life of his children It is said if
a man kills another that he takes that that He cannot give
if a mans head is cut off his life is not destroyed or his
spirit that lives, his tabernacle is destroyed But I can
make as good tabernacles as I can destroy if you do not
believe it look at my children. Much blood was
shed in ancient days both of man & Beast the firstlings
& best of the flock was sacrafized on the Altar, & in
some instances many men & almost whole Nations was
sacraficed or put to death because of their sins & wickednes
this was the ownly way they could be saved at all
if Jesus Christ had not had his Blood shed the Blood
that He received from his Mother Mary the world
would not have been saved. Their is not one of the seed
of old Cane that is permitted to rule & reign over
the seed of Abel and you nor I cannot Help it
Those that do bear rule should do it in righteousness
I am opposed to the present system of slavery
the Negro should serve the seed of Abram but it
should be done right dont abuse the Negro & treat
him cruel It has been argued here that many of
the Jews were Black. Whenever the seed of Judah
mingled with the seed of Cane they lost their
priesthood & all Blessings. as an ensample let the Presidency, Twelve, Seventies, High Priest Bishops
& all the Authorities say now We will all go & mingle
witth the seed of Cane and they may have all the privileg
they want we lift our hands to heaven in support of
this that moment we loose the pristhood & all Blessing
& we would not be redeemed untill Cane was. I
will never admit of it for a moment some may think
I dont know as much as they do But I know that I
know more than they do. the Lord will watch us all the time
the Devil would like to rule part of the time But I am
determin He shall not rule at all and Negros shall
not rule us. I will not admit of the Devil ruling at
all I will not consent for the seed of Cane to
vote for me or my Brethren if you want to know
why we did not speak of it in the Constitution
it was because it was none of their Business
in him cannot hold the priesthood & if no
other Prothet ever spake it before I will say it
now in the name of Jesus Christ I know it is true
& they know it the Negro cannot hold one particle
of Government but the day will come when all the
