Excerpt from A Dead Issue: And the Live One
And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers without. And then the 24th verse And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. And he said of Canaan, 'a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren.' 26th: And he said, 'blessed be the Lord God of Shem, and Canaan shall be his servant.' 27th verse: God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Now, here in the prophesy of Noah, we see that it was the pur pose of God revealed at the very origin of the present race of menthat one portion of the race should be doomed to servitude; and that portion, as we shall see further on, are from those of heathenish de gradation and devil-worship.
