Now, what have we proven by this recitement of Bible history--of that of contemporaneous and concurrent history outside of the Bible--of facts, facts now existing in the mummied remains of Ham's descendants, commencing with Mizraim and coming down through centuries since the flood--of the _yet living nations_, comprised _unquestionably_ of his descendants, and who, like the descendants of Shem and Japheth, have the distinctive marks of the white race _alone_, and as clear as either Shem or Japheth, and that, too, as they _exist now on earth_, and running back as such from this our day to Noah; and as _distinct_ from the negro race as that race is now distinct from the children of Japheth? Of that miraculous intervention of divine power, in causing Mizraim so to embalm his children, that they should speak from the grave, in attestation of their being of the white, and not of the negro, race. Why did God require that _only_ the children of Ham should be embalmed, of all then on earth? No other nation, as such, then or _since_, embalmed their dead. Why was it, that the children of Ham alone did this? Except but for the reason that God, foreseeing the disputes to arise about the negro, and that Ham would be slandered and held to be the progenitor of the negro; that, therefore, in vindication of him, as belonging to the white race, and as an _immortal_ being, and not of the beasts that perish, God caused these descendants of Ham to embalm their dead, and to _continue_ doing so for many centuries. No other valid reason can be assigned, why these people of Mizraim, _alone_ of all the nations of the earth, did so. There may have been, and doubtless there were, many reasons with the people, of a private and personal character, inciting them to do so; but _this_ was _God's reason_, and he chose these personal considerations of the people, as _his_ means of accomplishing it.
