Excerpt from The Voice of Mizraim The same God who made man in His image made known His severe disapproval of any attempts to mar on degrade that image, Whether the influence which brings this to pass is without or within. He told man to look up and toil; to put out his spiritual, moral and mental powers to usury, for in so doing he would lift up himself, constrain his fellows to righteousness and in the end receive the reward of glory.

Excerpt from The Voice of Mizraim The same God who made man in His image made known His severe disapproval of any attempts to mar on degrade that image, Whether the influence which brings this to pass is without or within. He told man to look up and toil; to put out his spiritual, moral and mental powers to usury, for in so doing he would lift up himself, constrain his fellows to righteousness and in the end receive the reward of glory. Whether this is done or not it lies within the man. There may be great pressure from Without, but it cannot overcome till the inner man yields. God never makes a man without purpose and he must hold to that purpose to accomplish most. He must not surrender up his individuality only insomuch as it tends toward evil. He must place his ideal high and lofty and work to it. Every man who has reached the front rank has had his ideal whether it was physical, moral or mental whether it manifested itself by his conquests of arms, his conquests of virtue or his-conquests of intellect. Those without may say, You should not seek such a high ideal, you should not try to see so much; your horizon is too narrow, your vision is foreshortened, but his very soul feels the heaven-born inspiration which forces him to perform his task, although it seems small, withan enthusiasm that knows not defeat - it must be known that he has lived and wrought; erelong some ear will listen. His highest and Godliest service is to help his fellowman by helping the oppressed to lift up his head, do Godly deeds, think noble thoughts, to love those who persecute and calumniate him; to help the oppressor to see his error, repent of it and to refrain from committing it again. There is nothing greater nor will aught else hasten the 'kingdom on earth. I am not in the frame of mind that the prophet was when he exclaimed, Oh, that my head were waters, ' and mine eyes a fountain of tears, although the conditions may be similar, I am hopeful. If I should give my people any advice, it would be: Look to God, Ethiopia, look to God; stretch forth your hand to Him, but let it be full of toilsome righteousness.
