Will White and Yellow Clash?
REFERRING to “the yellow peril,” Bishop Bashford, of the M. E. Church, says, “Let us exercise such moral influence as will save the nations from a race war which, if it comes, will desolate our globe.” The bishop presents statistics to show that if the white races do not deal justly and more humanely with the yellow race, there is a possibility within the century of bringing the yellow races of the East in desolating hordes against the white races of the West. Men are so mad in their greed for commerce, that they are likely to overlook these things, and allow such warnings as this one sent out by the bishop to go unheeded until it is too late to provide a remedy. But those who are awake to the situation in the world are aware of the fact that the second coming of Christ will provide a remedy for all these evils, regardless of the failure of all human expedients, speculations, and prophecies. SAYS Sam Johnson, “Chains of habit are generally too small to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.” This is a saying that we would do well to ponder.
