IF YOUR NOT STUPID PRIEST THEE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON MASTER OF THEE COMMANDMENTS JUDGE ANCIENT OF DAYS THOROUGH MELCHESIDEK ORDER BEHAVIOUR CODE MESSAGE CONSCIOUS REAL LIFE WHY SO JEALOUS.

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 6:23

Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee. Psalm 5:10 Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. Psalm 9:5 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth, and their seed from among the children of men. Psalm 21 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous. Psalm 69 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. Proverbs 16:25 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7

Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God’s throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black. But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil. Matthew 5:33-37

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. Matthew 6:22-24

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?(For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Matthew 6:25-34

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye. Matthew 7:1-5

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent? If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him? Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Matthew 7:7-13

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband. Ephesians 5:22-33

Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies; make thy way straight before my face. Psalm 5:8

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them. Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. There was a division therefore again among the Jews for these sayings. And many of them said, He hath a devil, and is mad; why hear ye him? Others said, These are not the words of him that hath a devil. Can a devil open the eyes of the blind? And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch. Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father’s name, they bear witness of me. But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he abode. And many resorted unto him, and said, John did no miracle: but all things that John spake of this man were true. And many believed on him there. John 10/Luke 15

The parable of the sower

The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore. And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables? He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people’s heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them. But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field: But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened. All these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in parables; and without a parable spake he not unto them: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things which have been kept secret from the foundation of the world. Then Jesus sent the multitude away, and went into the house: and his disciples came unto him, saying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares of the field. He answered and said unto them, He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man; The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels. As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto treasure hid in a field; the which when a man hath found, he hideth, and for joy thereof goeth and selleth all that he hath, and buyeth that field. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad away. So shall it be at the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the just, And shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old. And it came to pass, that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed thence. And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter’s son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Matthew 13

The Word of God

Thine hand shall find out all thine enemies: thy right hand shall find out those that hate thee. Psalm 21:8

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer. Psalm 19:14

As in the beginning the word is with God

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 1 John 1:1

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:14

She that loveth not knoweth not Christ; for Christ is love.

He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 1 John 4:8

We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and heth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 1 John 4:19-20.

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Hebrew 4:12

The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it. Psalm 68:11

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Ephesians 6:10-17

Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered. Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water. The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him. 1 Peter 3

The AntiChrist/Deceiver confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, Admit, Be true to yourself, Credit with, Give Ras Tafari the glory.

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. 1 John 4:1-3

For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 2 John 1:7

Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the Lord will abhor the bloody and deceitful man. Psalm 5:6

He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. Psalm 24

He shall redeem their soul from deceit and violence: and precious shall their blood be in his sight. Psalm 72:14

Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:14-16

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Galatian 6:7-8

Concerning the greatest commandment on these two commandments hang all the law and prophets.

The great commandment/Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Matthew 22:36-40

Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right. Honour thy father and mother; which is the first commandment with promise; Ephesians 6:1-2

The danger of riches

And, behold, one came and said unto him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life? And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. He saith unto him, Which? Jesus said, Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me. But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, Verily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly enter into the kingdom of heaven. And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Then answered Peter and said unto him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed thee; what shall we have therefore? And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. But many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first. Matthew 19:16-30

The parable of the good Samaritan.

And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live. But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbour? And Jesus answering said, A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his raiment, and wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. And likewise a Levite, when he was at the place, came and looked on him, and passed by on the other side. But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion on him, And went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee. Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves? And he said, He that shewed mercy on him. Then said Jesus unto him, Go, and do thou likewise. Luke 10:25-37

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. Matthew 11:25-29

The greatest in the kingdom of heaven

At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost. How think ye? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray? And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish. Matthew 18:1-14

Sermon on the mount The least in the kingdom of heaven

And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Matthew 5:1-9

Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:10-12

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error. 1 John 4:6

Straight from the horses mouth, the doctrine of Christianity.

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13-14

A house built on granite and strong foundations, not even the onslaught of pouring rain, gushing torrents and strong winds will be able to pull down. Some people have written the story of my life representing as truth what in fact derives from ignorance, error or envy; but they cannot shake the truth from its place, even if they attempt to make others believe it. Preface to My Life and Ethiopia’s Progress, Autobiography of H.I.M. Haile Selassie I.

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes. Matthew 7:24-29

But as touching the resurrection of the dead, have ye not read that which was spoken unto you by God, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. And when the multitude heard this, they were astonished at his doctrine. Matthew 22:31-33

‘Our cities of today are inhabited with the same qualities of people as it was in the days of Jesus and the woman of Samaria.’ Filtz Balintine Pettersburg The Royal Parchment Scroll of Black Supremacy/Leonard Percival Howell The Promised Key, Ethiopias Kingdom.

Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink: but I trust to come unto you, and speak face to face, that our joy may be full. The children of thy elect sister greet thee. Amen. 2 John 1:9-13

Christ teacheth how to pray

Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly. But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6

Solomon anointed King at the River Gihon in Ethiopia

And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. Genesis 2:13

And king David said, Call me Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king. The king also said unto them, Take with you the servants of your lord, and cause Solomon my son to ride upon mine own mule, and bring him down to Gihon: And let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him there king over Israel: and blow ye with the trumpet, and say, God save king Solomon. Then ye shall come up after him, that he may come and sit upon my throne; for he shall be king in my stead: and I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and over Judah. And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada answered the king, and said, Amen: the Lord God of my lord the king say so too. As the Lord hath been with my lord the king, even so be he with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord king David. So Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, went down, and caused Solomon to ride upon king David’s mule, and brought him to Gihon. And Zadok the priest took an horn of oil out of the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew the trumpet; and all the people said, God save king Solomon. And all the people came up after him, and the people piped with pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, so that the earth rent with the sound of them. 1 Kings 1:32-40

Without you your employers are helpless. Without you they cannot make one cent of profit their whole system of robbery has collapsed.

The shipyards are idle; the toilers have withdrawn even tho the owners of the yards are still there. Are your masters building ships? No, Without your labor power it would take all the shipyard employers of Seattle and Tacoma working eight hours a day the next thousand years to turn out one ship. Of what use are they in the shipyards?

It is you and you alone who build the ships; you create all the wealth of society today; you make possible the $75, 000 sable, coats for millionaires’ wives. It is you alone who can build the ships.

They cant build the ships. You can. Why don’t you?

There are the shipyards; more ships are urgently needed; you alone can build them. If the masters continue their dog in the manger attitude, not able to build the ships themselves and not allowing the workers to, there is only one thing left for you to do.

Take over the management of the shipyards yourselves; make the shipyards you own; make the jobs your own; decide the working conditions yourselves; decide your wages yourselves.

In Russia the masters refused to give their slaves a living wage too, The Russian workers out aside the bosses and their tool, the Russian government and took over industry in their own interest.

There is only one way out; a nationwide general strike with its object the overthrow of the present rotten system which produces thousands of millionaires and millions of paupers each year.

The Russians have shown you the way out. What are you going to do about it? You are doomed to wage slavery till you die unless you wake up, realize that you and the boss have not one thing in common, that the employing class must be overthrown, and that you, the workers, must take over the control of your jobs, and thru them, the control over your lives instead of offering yourselves up to the masters as a sacrifice six days a week, so that they may coin profits out of your sweat and toil.

I am transmitting herewith a communication which has come to my attention from the Panama Canal, Washington office, relative to the activities of Marcus Garvey. Garvey is a West-Indian negro and in addition to his activities in endeavoring to establish the Black Star Line Steamship Corporation he has also been particularly active among the radical elements in New York City in agitating the negro movement. Unfortunately, however, he has not as yet violated any federal law whereby he could be proceeded against on the grounds of being an undesirable alien, from the point of view of deportation. It occurs to me, however, from the attached clipping that there might be some proceeding against him for fraud in connection with his Black Star Line propaganda and for this reason I am transmitting the communication to you for your appropriate attention. The following is a brief statement of Marcus Gravey and his activities: Subject a native of the West Indies and one of the most prominent negro agitators in New York; He is a founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League; He is the promulgator of the Black Star Line and is the managing editor of the Negro World; He is an exceptionally fine orator, creating much excitement among the negroes through his steamship proposition; In his paper the “Negro World” the Soviet Russian Rule is upheld and there is open advocation of Bolshevism. Respectfully, J. E. Hoover. October 14 Garvey is shot by George Tyler with a 38 Caliber at brownstone offices 135th Street, Ashwood and put themselves in the line of fire.

12. Against all such inhuman, unchristian and uncivilized treatment we here and now emphatically protest, and invoke the condemnation of all mankind.

17. Whereas the lynching, by burning, hanging or any other means, of human beings is a barbarous practice and a shame and disgrace to civilization, we therefore declare any country guilty of such atrocities outside the pale of civilization.

24. We believe in the doctrine of the freedom of the press, and we therefore emphatically protest against the suppression of Negro newspapers and periodicals in various parts of the world, and call upon Negroes everywhere to employ all available means to prevent such suppression.

25. We further demand free speech universally for all men.

33. We vigorously protest against the increasingly unfair and unjust treatment accorded Negro travelers on land and sea by the agents and employee of railroad and steamship companies, and insist that for equal fare we receive equal privileges with travelers of other races.

35. That the right of the Negro to travel unmolested throughout the world be not abridged by any person or persons, and all Negroes are called upon to give aid to a fellow Negro when thus molested.

39. That the colors, Red, Black and Green, be the colors of the Negro race.

Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey by Amy Jaques Garvey 1923 Chapter 3 The Image of God If the white man has the idea of a white God, let him worship his God as he desires. If the yellow man’s God is of his race let him worship his God as he sees fit. We, as Negroes, have found a new ideal. Whilst our God has no color, yet it is human to see everything through one’s own spectacles, and since the white people have seen their God through white spectacles, we have only now started out (late though it be) to see our God through our own spectacles. The God of Isaac and the God of Jacob let Him exist for the race that believes in the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. We Negroes believe in the God of Ethiopia, the everlasting God — God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost, the One God of all ages. That is the God in whom we believe, but we shall worship Him through the spectacles of Ethiopia.

This picture King Theodora took for Gondar to Magdala, and it is now in England; all around the picture is gold, and the midst of it is coloured.

Again there is a book called Kivera Negust, which contains the law of the whole country of Ethiopia, and the names of the Shums (Chiefs), churches, and provinces are in this book. I pray you will find out who has got this book, and send it to me, for in my country my people will not obey my orders without it.

"I am of opinion that a people does not defend itself only with its weapons, but with its books. The one you are talking about is the pride of this Kingdom. From me, the Emperor, to the poorest soldier who walks in the roads, all Ethiopians will be happy that this book is translated into the French language and brought to the attention of the friends we have in the world. Thus we will see clearly what ties we have with the people of God, what treasures have been entrusted to our care. We will understand better why the help of God has never failed us against the enemies who attacked us."

The Emperor orders for this manuscript to be brought from Addis Ababa where it was being kept, a few days later Le Roux is handed the manuscript noted on the last folio "This volume was returned to the King of Ethiopia by order of the trustees of the British Museum, 1872 Dec 14. J. Winter Jones, Principal Librarian.

Le Roux says "There was no longer any doubt: the book I held in my hands was this version of the story of the Queen of Sheba and Solomon, whom Negus and Priests of Ethiopia consider to be the most authentic of all circulating in European libraries and in Abyssinian monasteries. It was the book that Theodoros had hidden under his pillow, the night he committed suicide, the one that the English soldiers had brought to London, that an ambassador gave to the Emperor John, that this same Jean leafed in his tent, the morning of the day when he fell under the scimitars of the Mandists, the one whom the monks had stolen."

April 19 UNIA to send material and artisan, technicians, carpenter, builder and mechanical engineer to Liberia. April 20 We embarked on the Messageries Maritimes Company’s boat ‘Porthos’ and travelled to the Suez Canal.

As we reached the Suez Canal, an envoy of H.M. King Faud arrived and transmitted to us the King’s greeting. The Patriarch Abuna Qerillos sent Abuna Yohannes, who became the Patriarch later on, and gave us his blessing.

When we reached Kantara, we traveled to Jerusalem on the special train which H.M. King Faud had arranged for us. At Jerusalem the British High Commissioner, Sir Hebert Samuel, and the bishops of the various churches came to the railway station and did us the honour of welcoming us.

As by the chance of good fortune the festival of the Resurrection (Easter) was approaching, we thanked God for granting us to see the light of the Easter festival. Afterwards, as we toured Jerusalem and its districts, we visited and kissed all the holy places, including Bethlehem where our Lord was born, Nazareth where he grew up, the Jordon in which he was baptized, Cana of Galilee where he did miracles, the Sea of Tiberias wheer he taught, and the neighbouring Capernaum, Beth Saida, Magdala, as well as Hebron where Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are buried. Although a beginning had been made in discussing the affairs of our sanctuary at Jerusalem with our Coptioc fathers in faith, the matter had remained unresolved, and therefore we informed the Coptic Archbishop at Jerusalem, Abuna Timotewos, in writing that he should persist on pondering on our proposals, for we had suggested that we should conclude the matter, after friendly discussion, upon our return from Europe. He wrote to us the following reply: ‘I have already made known your intentions to the Coptic community.’

Afterwards, as we had heard that the Greeks possessed an area of many chambers in Golgotha, we requested the Greek Orthodox Patriarch in Jerusalmen, Abuna Demyanos, through the intermediacy of Dr. Zervos, the Greek Consul Generalat Addis Ababa, that he should give one room to the Ethiopian monks as a patrimony for the celebration of holy mass. When he replied that they would give one room as patrimony in the Monastery of Abraham, we said that we on our part would assign a benefice to the Greek monastery in Ethiopia; after reaching agreement and accord on the proposal, we signed the following written convention.

But as it was not God’s will, this treaty never came into force.

Seay 24 trained nurses to Belize Town as volunteers parenting teaching, sanitation, midwifery services. May 1 Ras Tafari and the Ethiopian officials arrive in Cairo by train and are received by H. M. King Fuad at his palace.

May 2 the Patriarch, Abuna Qerillos, informed us of his intention to hold mass and prayers in our honour in the church of St. Mark and we went to the church. The patriarch suffering from the wariness of old age, was seated on his throne by the alter and gave us his blessing. As the churches of Egypt and Ethiopia were in a relationship of mother and child and because the patriarch had for long had the desire and intention of coming to Ethiopia to see his children in faith, he spoke at length of his sadness at his continued inability to come on account of the distance, while at the same time revealing the fulfillment of his desire and thought at seeing, with his own eyes, our arrival at Cairo today.

Afterwards, while we were in the church, the patriarch entered the reception hall for guests at one side We having brought him, in order to honour our father in faith, a golden crown and golden cross, a golden staff, a silk tunic embroidered with gold, and a cape. He was, therefore, waiting for us wearing the crown and cape, holding the golden cross in his right hand and the golden staff in his left; he was thinking to please us, although because of his age and wariness he was not really capable; as we entered the hall from the church he attempted to receive us standing, but he was not able to do so. Although we were pleased in our heart a seeing His Holiness in this dignity, we felt much grief at thinking of his old age and wariness.

The following are the sights which we visited during our stay at Cairo and which have remained memorable to us: the pyramids and the Sphinx, the great museum of antiquities, the great schools and hospitals of the government and of the Copts, the old church of early times, the antiquities of Luxor and the tomb of Tutankhamen which had been discovered at excavations near by, as well as great mosques and the famous Islamic college called Al-Azhar. Subsequently, when we saw four students from Ethiopia, we were pleased as their teacher said that they would return to Ethiopia within two years upon conclusion of their studies. From Cairo we went to Alexandria and paid homage at the tomb of St. Mark; We then saw the school at which they are teaching more than 4, 000 boys and which had been instituted, near the church, by Abuna Yohannes, the deputy Archbishop of the See of St. Mark. After this we visited Victoria College which had been built at a place called Ramleh near Alexandria and where some boys from Ethiopia were studying. The headmaster of the school, Mr. Reed, was like a father particularly to the boys from Ethiopia, and we heard of his gentle treatment and of his teaching; and among the boys there we met Sirak Heruy. Our heart was touched with joy when we saw them face to face. The son of Ras Mullugeta, Asrata, and a boy called Gabra Madhen Awwaqa had come with us in order to study at this school, and we handed them over into the headmasters care and trust.

May 9 We embarked on a boat called 'Cordillere', and when the ship began its journey a farewell salute was fired by cannon.

May 14 when we had passed Corsica and came within view of the great fortifications at Toulon, a warship came to receive us. Fron there until we approached Marseilles, many aeroplanes were hovering in the air. As five warships passed on the right and left of our ship, they fired their guns.

As we disembarked from the ship, the Prefect of the district of Marseilles and the Mayor of the city, together with many officials, received us. Among these we were very pleased to see and to meet M. Lagarde who, since the days of my father H.H. Makonnen, had been the friend of Ethiopia and ourselves and had formerly been France's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in Ethiopia.

After we rested a little in the Marseilles government buildings, the officers of the warships came and took us to sea once more in order to show us the warships. Thus we saw the strength of the construction and the size of the guns and then returned greatly impressed.

May 16 Evening we departed by train for Paris.

May 17 10.30 a.m. when we reached Paris, the new President of the Republic, H.E.M. Miller and, and Prime Minister, M. Poincare, all the

As the official visit ended and we were staying in the specially arranged accommodation, important Frenchmen, who had been friends of the Ethiopian government and in particular of H.H. my father as well as of myself, began to arrive and to pay us visits. After this we requested an appointment with the Prime Minister, M. Poincare, in order to discuss amicably several matters; and on the appointed day we went to the Foreign Ministry.

What we had intended to discuss was that the French should give us a free gateway to the sea at Jibuti, and prior to our departure from Addis Ababa, as we informed the French Minster that this was a matter we particularly wished to discuss, some hope had been given to us; consequently, if they agreed to do this, they should let us know what it was the French government wished to have in exchange for this from us.

Secondly, the treaty of friendship between the Ethiopian and French governments, referred to as the Klobukowski treaty, and in particular the judical matters laid down in paragraph 7, were extremely irksome to us and, without abrogating the treaty, the two governments, while maintaining its usefulness, might cause a few improvements to be effected.

When we informed M. Poincare of these our intentions, he gave us his word that he would present our plan to Parliament and that they would think about it in the most friendly possible manner.

Howell applies for U.S. citizenship. May 19 Du Bois and Professor Wendell Phillips Dabney finally come face to face with Garvey for the first time at the elevator in Sheraton Hotel, Cincinnati. May 22 Evening We departed from Paris to Brussels, Belgium.

At the railway station, King Albert, together with his ministers and army officers, did us the honour of an unforgettable welcome.

It was in a wing of the main palace building in which H.M. lived that quarters had been prepared for us; we went there and rested a little. Afterwards he introduced to us H.M. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Leopold, his crown prince who later on became king, and his daughter, Princess Marie Jose.

At a banquet His Majesty assured us of his complete desire that the firm friendship between the Belgian and Ethiopian governments should in future continue to grow.

Of the things we saw at Brussels and other provinces during our stay in the country, the following remain vividly in our memory: The Brussels Municipality, horse racing, the Bank of Brussels, the Congo Museum, crop improvement and cattle breeding stations, Waterloo where Napoleon was defeated, the city of Ghent and its match factory, the city of Liege and its munitions factory, the city of Antwerp, the city of Mauragr, we also saw coal mines and other similar industrial establishments.

From Brussels to Luxembourg

The Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxenbourg, when she heard of King Albert’s invitation to us to visit Brussels (still before our departure from Addis Ababa) informed us through the Belgian Mnister at Addis Ababa, M. Gerard, that we should visit her country during our journey, as Luxembourg was very near to Belgium. We had therefore, accepted her invitation and now proceeded from Brussels to Luxembourg. At the railway station the Grand Duchess husband, Duke Felix, received us with a large guard of honour and after that took us to the palace. But it so happened that on the day we reached Luxembourg the Grand Duchess gave birth to a son; she therefore informed us by letter of her regret at being unable to sit next to us at the luncheon party. We told Prince Felix that it would remain in our heart as a remembrance of joy that on the day of our arrival in Luxembourg the Grand-Duchess should give birth to a male child.

The Prince assured us repeatedly if his pleasure at our visit to Luxembourg, and after taking our leave of the Grand-Duchess by message, we returned to Brussels.

May 31 As our official visit to Brussels was completed, we took our leave of the King and Queen and returned to Paris.

May Du Bois writes editorial calling Garvey “lunatic or traitor.”

June 4 UNIA hold a meeting to see off mining engineer Wallace Strange to Liberia. June 6 We departed from the Paris and reached Amsterdam by way of Brussels and after seeing the Dutch cities of Rotterdam and Hague. As our train stopped for about 3 hours in Amsterdam, we made a tour of the city by inspection by car. From there we traveled through the whole night and at dawn

June 7 we reached the German harbour-city of Hamburg; after touring the town for about an hour we set out for Sweden. After crossing the water called North Sea which lies between Germany and Sweden.

June 8 Pentecost 9 a.m. we arrived in Stockholm.

When we reached Stockholm, H.M. King Gustaf Adolph V had not yet returned from his country home where he had gone for vacation. We therefore put up at the Grand Hotel Royal.

On this day was Pentecost, and, therefore, the Archbishop of Uppsala, Nathan Soderblom, sent an envoy and told us: 'Because of the feast of Paraclete (Pentecost) we shall be holding prayers and a sermon towards evening and we beg that it may be your wish to attend.' We departed from Stockholm.

3 p.m. we departed from Stockholm.

4 p.m. and reached at Uppsala. The provincial governor and the Archbishop received us at the station. Up to the time when the prayers and sermon began we inspected the University of Uppsala and the Library. In the Library we were very pleased to see some Ge’ez and Amharic books.

When the hour of the prayers and the sermon came, we went to the church., The Archbishop, being at an elevated place, read the appropriate extracts for Pentecost from the Bible and gave a long sermon. After this he spoke about Ethiopia as follows.

When he had finished speaking at length, my heart was touched with joy at his truly inspiring address, and I therefore replied as follows. When I had finished speaking, all the people assembled there, beginning with the Archbishop, expressed to us their heartfelt pleasure.

We subsequently returned to Stockholm. Since our visit to Stockholm was private and not official, we had not had any thought of meeting the King. But as soon as the King heard of our arrival at Stockholm, he sent a message that it would give him pleasure if we could meet now that we had come to Stockholm. We accepted his unofficial invitation and went to the seaside palace called Tullgarn. The King, together with his courtiers, was awaiting us standing by the gate of the palace, and we met with warm affection and friendship. ‘When we had rested a little in the great hall, a festive luncheon was served. After lunch we remained talking about the means by which the friendship between the two governments might progressively develop and by which the peoples of the two realms might get much closer to each other.

5 p.m. Towards evening we returned to Stockholm. Of what we saw at Stockholnm and surroundings the following recollections remain in our heart: the new telephone exchange with 80,000 lines, the iron industry, schools, hospitals, and Uppsala University library.

June 13 we set out from Stockholm, crossed the North Sea, and when we reached the Germany city of Hamburg, we disembarked from the train and toured the city by car for about 3 hours.

June 14 we reentered Paris.

June 16 we left Paris.

June 18 we reached Rome.The King of Italy H.M. Victor Emmanuel and the leader of the government, Signor Mussolini, with a guard of army officers, received us with honour at the railway station, thus causing much pleasure. It was in the Quirinale, previously the Pope's palace, in which His Majesty lived that accommodation had been prepared for us; and we proceeded there.

When we appeared together with the King standing on the upper balcony to salute the people, all the crowd assembled on the square began shouting with one voice joyfully:'Long live Italy! Long live Ethiopia! Long live H.H. Crown Prince Tafari!' (When they think of this today, how extraordinary must this appear to them?!).

At the banquet at H.M. the King of Italy delivered the following speech. I then delivered the following speech.

We Ethiopians consider the speech of the king of a great country to be like a pledge given under oath, and the words spoken by H.M. the King of Italy (as cited here above) seemed to us to augur a stable peace and amity betweren the two governments; and said it did not appear to us a matter of deceit.

June 19 We paid a visit to the leader of the government, Signor Mussolini, having requested an appointment to discuss, in a friendly manner, a number of matters. The subject which we planned to discuss was concerned with the amicable granting to Ethiopia of a gateway to the northern parts of the country from the port of Assab which had originally been under Ethiopian rule and was now an Italian colony.

After we had met at the appointed hour, I said to him that it would give us pleasure if he were willing to discuss the amicable cession to us by the Italian government of part of the port of Assab as a free zone.

After Signor Mussolini had listened attentively to this request, he said that he was willing to discuss the matter and that, after conversations with the Director of Political Affairs, Contarini, the latter would let me know the answer. Contarini having been summoned immediately, we were introduced to each other.

After we had meetings and lengthy discussions with Contarini, he told me that he would report to Signor Mussolini everything that we had spoken about and that the reply would reach me tomorrow by the hands of Conte Colli; we then parted.

June 20 Conte Colli, the Italian Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary in Ethiopia, came and submitted to us a draft treaty, explaining that this was his government's proposal concerning my request as regards the port of Assab. The following is the text of the draft treaty.

After we had studied the treaty, we became convinced ofg the need to inform the Council upon our return to Addis Ababa; we therefore told Conte Colli to inform Signor Mussolini of this our intention. But for a variety of reasons the draft treaty never came into force.

June 21 We had been given an appointment to visit the Pope of Rome, Pius XI, and at the appointed hour we met at the Vatican Palace. The Pope spoke expressingly his pleasure at the fact that Catholic missions were now residing in Ethiopia in peace and security and that religious freedom was now permitted in Ethiopia, contrary to earlier practice. When we came to take leave of eachother, he pronounced a prayer: ‘May God bless the land of Ethiopia, its kings and its people.’

When we emerged from there, we entered the church of St. Peter and paid homage at the sepilchre; after we had seen the beauty of the church, we went to inspect the near-by monastery of St. Stephen which had been given to the Ethiopian monks. From the earliest times Ethiopian monks possessed a strong desire to see and to pay homage at Our Lord’s sepulchre at Golgotha and the sepulchre of St. Peter and St. Paul at Rome; but when they came to Rome from Ethiopia, they had difficulty in finding lodgings, and it is said that when the Pope who reigned in 1464 saw their plight he have them this monastery saying: ‘This monastery of St. Stephen shall be a resting place for Ethiopian monks.’

As we toured every corner of the church in this monastery, we saw the hwen stones on which the names of the seven Ethiopian monks had been incised. When we were seated in one of the rooms in the monastery, the seven Ethiopians who had come here to study approached and expressed their joy to us by referring to the antiquity of Ethiopia and the strength of her Kings and by rendering thanks to us.

The following are some of the recollections that have remained in our heart of what we saw at Rome and the provinces during our stay there: Quirinale Palace, the mausoleum of the kings, the motor cycle races, the Rome Municipality, the Vatican and the church of St. Peter, the convent of St. Stephen where the Ethiopian boys are studying, the church of St. Paul and St. John, the church of Our Lady Mary and of Jesus, the place of the ancient Caesars, the theatre in which the ancient Caesars made Christians fight with wild beasts and slaves fight each other, the Victor Emmanuel II Monument, the military parade at Centocelle, the Rome museums, the cannon firing at Bracciano, the military hospital called Celio, the ships at Spezia, the city of Turin, the Fiat car factory, and the royal mausoleum at Turin.

July 2 When the days of the official visit were over, we thanked H.M. King AVictor Emmanuel for the friendly reception he had arranged for us, took our leave, and returned to Paris.

July 4 Julian to make transatlantic flight from New York to Liberia via Atlantic city, New Jersey and the West Indies. Purchases seaplane christened Ethiopia I, crashes into Flushing Bay after one of the planes pontoons comes off.

July 7 We set out from Paris and traveled to London. When we reached Calais, we boarded a British ship; and as we began the journey two warships, bedecked with the Ethiopian and British flags sailed to the right and left of our boat. Having crossed the sea we reached Dover and a twenty-one gun salute was fired.

From Dover we traveled by train, and when we reached Victoria Railway Station London the son of His Majesty King George (now himself king but at the time styled Duke of York), together with many officers and guards of honor, bade us a distinguished welcome in the name of his father. From there we went to the residence which had been prepared for us in a house called ‘Albert Gate’ near Hyde Park and Knightsbridge.

July 8 so H.H. the Duke of York informed us, was to be the audience granted by His Majesty King George; and at the appointed hour we went to the meeting.

meets Archbishop of Canterbury, King George who returns to him a crown of Emperor Tewodros II and honorary degree of Doctor of Law by the Vice Chancellor of Cambridge University.

July 12 as the official visit ended, We went to Buckingham Palace and took leave of H.M. the King and H.M. the Queen. During the farewell visit H.M. King George made the following speech:

'Your Highness has given me great pleasure by your visit to England to develop and strengthen the friendship of our two governments. Hence, so that you may have a constant memorial of your visit to London and of your meeting with us, we are returning to you the crown of Emperor Theodore which the commander of the British army at the time of the Magdala campaign had brought back.'

Although the capture of Theodore's crown and its removal to England in no way affected Ethiopia's independence, yet the have it said 'this crown was the crown of an Ethiopian Emperor' and to have it appear in a foreign country did not please me. Hence H.M. King George's gracious permission that the crown of Emperor Theodore now be returned to Ethiopia was, I was convinced, a great mark of friendship; and since I felt very pleased, I expressed to the king my profoundly sincere gratitude.

July 18 We departed from London at 10 a.m. in the morning to visit Cambridge University. Before coming to London, while in Rome, the Vice Chancellor had asked us in writing to be gracious enough to visit the University. After we had reached London, he informed us of his proposal through the Foreign Office, and we, therefore, went to carry out the engagement.

After all the professors of the University had given us a respectful welcome, the University's Vice Chancellor approached and said: 'Your Highness! As we have heard of your initiative and perseverance on leading your country Ethiopia on wisdom and knowledge, we bestow upon you the honorary degree of Doctor of Law." he then gave me the appropriate robes.

Immediately afterwards they arranged a great luncheon banquet. At the banquet the Vice Chancellor, Dr. E. C. Pearce, made the following speech:

'Your Highness!

The poet Homer says the Ethiopians are blameless. Herodotus says the Ethiopian s are long lived because they do not drink wine at all.

It is a fact that the Ethiopians refused to pay tribute to Cambyses and to the Persian king(s). Subsequently, they turned back victoriously all who came to take their country by force. Who does not know that the Queen of Sheba, having herd of Solomon's fame, came by camel bearing spices, gold, and gems to try the king with riddles? Who does not know that she returned to her country to be the mother of all kings? Who does not remember, as the centuries unfolded, their descent from David? Who does not know of their being of the family of Queen Candace? All this proves the establishment of their Christianity over the whole world and their possession of an ancient faith over a long history.

A Man at Christ's College in Cambridge University has, in recent years, revealed to the English people the literature and law books of Ethiopia.

Today there is amongst us Tafari Makonnen, Ethiopia's Crown Prince. He follows in the footsteps of his ancestors and possesses knowledge exceeding that of orientals and Egyptians. He explores ancient and modern knowledge. He has studied all the ancient Christian traditions. He endeavors to acquire modern science. H.H. Tafari Makonnen is the first Ethiopian Crown Prince who has gone up in an aeroplane.

He has caused the books of John Chrysostom and of Mar Yeshaq to be translated from Ge'ez into Amharic and had them printed in his own press. These books can be found in Cambridge University Library. Furthermore, he has built a school for the children of Ethiopia.' He ended by saying: 'We therefore make known to all of youbhere Ethiopia's great Crown Prince and Regent, H. H. Tafari Makonnen, the hope of Ethiopia, who is descended from ancient kings.' Wallace Strange Monrovia arrested and deported equipment auctioned Chief Justice J. J.

August 15 From Marseilles we embarked on a small ship called 'Amboise'. August 19 we reached the Greek harbour town of Piraeus, they received us with great honour aeroplanes hovering in the air, and in the sea warships firing their guns. When, proceeding from there, we reached the town of Phaleron, the Greek Prime Minister, H.E. Monsieur Sophoulis, with ministers and army commanders, bade us welcome. From there we travelled by train to Anthens. At the railway station the President of the Republic, H.E. Admiral Condouriotes, together with the country's dignitaries and foreign diplomats, received us. We immediately went to the principal church at Athens where Archbishop Chrysostomos pronounced a prayer of blessing, and after that we proceeded to the palace where lodgings had been prepared for us.

At the banquet in the evening, the President, Admiral Condouriotes, spoke of the friendship which had remained steadfast for a very long time between bthe two countries as well as of the closely knit history of the two peoples.

We on our part told him that from time immemorial Anthens had been the source of wisdom and knowledge, that we had discovered and read in our history of the goodness of the Greek people, and we declared our intention henceforth to render assistance to all Greeks living in Ethiopia.

On the next day we visited Acropolis, the ancient sanctuary of gods and idols. When we returned from there, we went to see the Academy and various museums.

August 19 they showed us various displays of gymnastics at a place called the stadium as well as several kinds of military parades. Towards evening we went to see Athens University, and the head of the University, Monsieur Dimetri Papapouleas, standing at an elevated place, made the following.

We were pleased to hear these words of friendship gleaned from ancient and expressed our profound gratitude; we then returned to the palace.

August 20 We went to visit, together with Archbishop Chrysostomos and with other scholars very knowledgeable in history, the Areopagus where St. Paul instructed the Athenians. The place is in the vicinity of this locality, citing the Acts of the Apostles.

We had, of course, frequently read in history books of Athens as the fount of wisdom and learning and now we were glad to see it with our own eyes.

Of all the things we had seen at Athens, the following are the main memories we have retained in our heart: The temples of gods and idols of the Acropolis, the Areopagus, the Academy and various museums, the Library, the University, the gymnastics displays and the military parade at the Stadium, the theatre of Herodes Atticus by the ruins of the Acropolis, and the fireworks projected into the air, by the seashore at Phaleron, spread out in the sky in the shape of the Ethiopian flag.

Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting: The time has come for the Negro to forget and cast behind him his hero worship and adoration of other races, and to start out immediately, to create and emulate heroes of his own. We must canonize our own saints, create our own martyrs, and elevate to positions of fame and honor black men and women who have made their distinct contributions to our racial history. Sojourner Truth is worthy of the place of sainthood alongside of Joan of Arc; Crispus Attucks and George William Gordon are entitled to the halo of martyrdom with no less glory than that of the martyrs of any other race. Toussaint L'Ouverture’s brilliancy as a soldier and statesman outshone that of a Cromwell, Napoleon and Washington; hence, he is entitled to the highest place as a hero among men. Africa has produced countless numbers of men and women, in war and in peace, whose lustre and bravery outshine that of any other people. Then why not see good and perfection in ourselves?
