“THE NEGRO A BEAST” . OR . “IN THE IMAGE OF GOD” The Reasoner of the Age, the Revelator of the Century! The Bible as it is! The Negro and His Relation to the Human Family! The Negro a beast, but created with articulate speech, and hands, that he may be of service to his master—the White man. The Negro not the Son of Ham, Neither can it be proven by the Bible, and the argument of the theologian who would claim such, melts to mist before the thunderous and convincing arguments of this masterful book. BY . CHAS. CARROLL, Who has spent fifteen years of this life, and $20,000.00 in its compilation. PUBLISHED BY AMERICAN BOOK AND BIBLE HOUSE. ST. LOUIS, MO. 1900. Entered According to Act of Congress in the year 1900 by CHARLES CARROLL, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, Washington, D. C. PUBLISHER’S ANNOUNCEMENT. In placing this book entitled “The Negro a Beast” or “In the Image of God” upon the American market, we do so knowing that there will be many learned men who will take issue with us, but while we are fully convinced of this, we are also convinced that when this book is read and its contents duly weighed and considered in an intelligent and prayerful manner, that it will be to the minds of the American people like unto the voice of God from the clouds appealing unto Paul on his way to Damascus. We have not brought out this book hurriedly and without due thought and consideration, but on the other hand we have had the manuscript under advisement for considerable time, and we have read and reread it until the ponderous sledge hammer blows of Prof. Carroll rang in our ears until the clang and din of his arguments convinced us that it would be a sin before God and man to withhold from the reading public such an array of biblical, scientific and common sense arguments. We are placing this book before the reading public as a witness to be questioned and cross-examined by the world, and if its pages will not stand the righteous attack of criticism, then we are willing for its arguments to be trailed in the dust of oblivion. We ask the reading public to carefully peruse its pages, and if in any particular there can be produced evidence that this book is not founded upon the bible in toto, and scientifically digested, then we are ready to close our doors, and place over its portals in burning letters of fire, “Deluded and Misguided by an Array of Biblical Truths Scientifically Discussed.” THE PUBLISHERS. TABLE OF CONTENTS. CHAPTER I. The Formation of the Negro and other beasts—then the Negro on the sixth day. CHAPTER II. Biblical and scientific facts demonstrating that the Negro is not an offspring of the Adamie family. CHAPTER III. The theory of evolution exploded; man was created a man, and did not develop from an ape. CHAPTER IV. Convincing Biblical and scientific evidence that the Negro is not of the human family. CHAPTER V. Cain’s offspring soulless, as they were of amalgamated flesh. CHAPTER VI. Red, yellow and brown skin denotes amalgamation of the human family with the Beast—the Negro. CHAPTER VII. That the Beast of the Bible is a biped animal, and not a quadruped, is proven by the Bible. CHAPTER VIII. It was not God’s original plan that His Son should be crucified, but amalgamation and disobedience of the human family made it imperative. CHAPTER IX. Ignorance of the Bible, and continued atheistic teachings have led astray the masses, relative to God’s creation of Man. CHAPTER X. The Bible and Divine Revelation, as well as reason, all teach that the Negro is not human. LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS. Adam and Eve the morning of the creation of man. Is the White man in the image of God? If he is can the Negro be also? Does “like beget like”? If so, could White parents beget a Negro child? Was Christ a Negro? If so, God is a Negro as he is the father of Christ. Was the first offspring of Adam and Eve a Negro, or was any of their children Negroes? The Beast and the Virgin, or the Sin of the Century. Did Nature blunder, or was God mistaken when he said “like begets like”. Will your next child be a Negro? If the Negro sprung from Adam and Eve, then it may happen. The Egg of Creation. Can you get a Duck from a Turkey egg, or a Dove from the egg of a Crow? Natural results of amalgamation, brought about by treating the Negro as a human being. Chapter I. The Formation of the Negro and other Beasts—then Man on the Sixth Day. There are just two schools of learning in the world to-day, which propose to explain the existence of the heavens and the earth, with all the phenomena which characterize each. These are (1) The Scriptural School of Divine Creation, (2) The Atheistic School of Natural Development. In discussing this subject Mr. Haeckel says: “As is now very generally acknowledged, both by the adherents of and the opponents of the theory of descent, the choice in the matter of the origin of the human race, lies between two radically different assumptions: We must either accustom ourselves to the idea that the various species of animals and plants, man included, originated independently of each other, by the supernatural process of a divine ‘creation,’ which as such is entirely removed from the sphere of scientific observation—or we are compelled to accept the theory of descent in its entirety, and trace the human race, equally with the various animals and plant species, from an entirely simple primeval parent form. Between these two assumptions there is no third course.”—The Evolution of Man, Vol. II., pp, 36, 37. The School of Creation teaches that the heaven and the earth, with all the phenomena which characterize each, is the product of divine creation. In direct opposition to this scriptural school, the School of Atheism teaches that the heaven and the earth, with all the phenomena which characterize each, is the result of natural causes working without design to accomplish their formation. In our investigations, with a view to decide intelligently whether the phenomena of the universe is the product of divine creation, or whether it is the result of natural causes, we have three reliable guides to a correct decision. These are Science, Reason and Revelation. Science teaches that the lowest element of which it has any knowledge is matter. Science also teaches that matter exists in the material universe in just three forms, the solid, liquid and gaseous. And inasmuch as all bodies, celestial and terrestial, are resolvable into matter in its gaseous state, science very properly decides that matter in its gaseous state was the primitive condition of all bodies. Science also teaches that “matter is not self-existent.” —Guyot. “Creation,” appendix. But to the question, from whence came matter? Science, which deals alone with second causes, gives no answer. But just at this point in our investigations, to which science leads us, and beyond which Science is powerless to guide us, reason comes to our assistance, with the assurance that, inasmuch as matter, is not self-existent, it must have been created. Hence, the very presence of matter, even in its primitive state, the gaseous, clearly demonstrates the existence of a Creator while its combination in all the varied forms, celestial and terrestial, in which we find it to-day, be-speaks the most infinite design; and reason assures us that design can alone be formed and expressed by intelligence. But to the question: “When and by whom was matter created?” Reason gives no answer, But just at this point in our investigation, to which Reason leads us, and beyond which Reason is powerless to guide us, and it would seem that any further advance that we may attempt must be merely speculative. Revelation generously comes to our assistance with that sublime assurance that, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. Thus Revelation, in harmony with Science, and with Reason, emphatically confirms the teachings of each, that there is a God; a personal God; a Creator, distinct from his creation; that there was a creation, and as clearly stated in the Mosaic Record, there was a definite plan of the creation; a creation successive—extending through “six days.” The initial step was the creation “in the beginning” of the lowest element—matter—as stated in the first verse; this is followed in the second verse by a correct description of matter in its primitive, or gaseous state, and this by the production of light—cosmic light—on the first day; continuing by the formation of the heavens on the second day; the separation of the “dry land” from the “waters” and the introduction of plant life on the third day; the formation of the luminaries on the fourth day; the introduction of animal life in the fish, followed by the fowl on the fifth day; the bringing fourth of the cattle, creeping things, and beasts; the whole terminating in the creation of Man “in the image of God,” on the sixth day. We are thus enabled to realize “the necessity of a direct revelation of these great fundamental truths, to which human wisdom could not attain in any other way, which without the sanction of God’s word were doomed to remain simple hypotheses, incapable of proof.”—Guyot.
