Christianity and Racial Prejudice
By Editor
"Society" in Washington, D. C., threatens a lady residing in one of the best sections of the city, the press despatches inform us, with "white capping" because of a too great and public fondness for the baby of her colored cook. The lady has no children of her own, and her mother heart was touched by the babe of her cook, and she manifested her affection by allowing it on the front porch of an evening, and publicly kissing it before it was sent to bed. If it had been a wretched poodle or pug dog, such things would have been "very proper," we suppose, but a black human child, that is intolerable! We wonder if any of these threateners or complainers call themselves Christian. In Jesus Christ "there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free, but Christ is all, and in all." We do not believe, for various reasons, in the amalgamation of races, but we hold all infinitely precious as the purchase of the blood of Christ.
