The Bible informs us that Canaan, the youngest son of Ham, settled Canaan; and that it was from him the land took its name, as did the land of Mizraim, Ham's second son take its name from him, of what is now called Egypt. It was against this Canaan (not Ham) that the curse of Noah was directed, that a servant of servants should he be to his brethren. There is something of marked curiosity in the Bible account of this Canaan and his family. The language is singular, and differs from the Bible account of every other family in the Bible, where it proposes to give and does give the genealogy of any particular family. Why is this, there must be some reason, and some valid reason too, or there would be no variation in the particulars we refer to from that of any other family? The account in the Bible reads thus--"And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth." So far so good. And why not continue on giving the names of his other sons as in all other genealogies? But it does not read so. It reads, "And Canaan begat Sidon his first born, and Heth, _and the Jebusite_, and the _Amorite_, and the _Girgasite_, and the _Hivite_, and the _Arkite_, and the _Sinite_, and the _Arvadite_, and the _Zemarite_ and the _Hamathite_, and who afterward were the _families_ of the _Canaanite_ spread abroad." With all _other_ families the Divine Record goes on as this commenced, giving the names of all the sons. But in this family of Canaan, after naming the two sons Sidon and Heth (who settled Sidon, Tyre and Carthage, and were _white_ as is plainly shown) it breaks off abruptly to these _ites_. Why this suffix of _ite_ to _their_ names? It is extraordinary and unusual; there must be some reason, a _peculiar_ reason for this departure from the usual mode or rule, of which _this_ is the only exception. What does _it mean_? The reason is plain. The progeny of the horse and ass species is never _classed_ with either its father or mother, but is called a _mule_ and represents neither. So the progeny of a son of God, a descendant of Adam and Eve with the negro a beast, is not classed with or called by the name of either its father or mother, but is an _ite_, a "_class_"--"_bonded class_," _not race_, God intending by _this distinguishment_ to show to all future ages what will become of _all such ites_, by placing in bold relief before our eyes the _terrible end of these_ as we shall see presently. Reader, bear in mind the end of these _ites_ when we come to narrate them. These _ites_, the progeny of Canaan and the negro, inhabited the land of Canaan; with other places, they occupied what was then the beautiful plain and vale of Siddim, where they built the notorious cities of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim. Like all _counterfeits_, they were ambitious of appearing as the genuine descendants of Adam, whose name they knew or had heard meant "red and fair" in Hebrew; they, therefore, called one of their cities
