Beacon Lights of the Race. E-book. Formato PDF Green Polonius Hamilton   -  Forgotten Books, 2017  - 

The youth of the race have been the victims of false and vicious traditions that have destroyed their stamina, paralyzed their ener gies, and wrought greater destruction with the future of the race than famine, pestilence or war. From the very cradle the youth of the race have had instilled in their minds that they were created by an all-wise Providence merely to be hewers of wood and drawers of water for the other races of mankind, and that there is no possible escape from that' inexorable decree. The ?at of Providence is that every man shall earn his bread in the sweat of his own brow, and this decree applies to all men alike, irrespective of color or previous condition. The writer does not believe in the circumscriptions of Providence, as applied to any race, but he does believe that Omnipotence holds every man personally responsible for the manner in which he uses his opportunities, and that He confers upon every man the privilege of making his own monument of good or evil. This book is a clarion call to the discouraged and the weak, exhorting them to buckle on the armor of resolution, work out their destiny in the fear of the Lord, and take possession of the inexhaustible store of riches which benign Providence has bequeathed as an inheritance to every rational and responsible man.
