Africa may yet prove to be the spiritual conservatory of the world...When the civilised nations in consequence of their wonderful material development, shall have had their spiritual susceptibilities blunted through the agency of a captivating and absorbing materialism, it may be that they have to resort to Africa to recover some of the simple elements of faith.

Let us teach our children from their infancy—for they need to be taught—that no curse except that which every day follows the impenitent, hangs upon us; that it is the force of circumstances, induced, as we have endeavored to show, by our iniquities, that keep us down; and that we have as much right as any other people to strive to rise to the very zenith of national glory.

The African spirit is a spirit of service. I do not mean in a degrading sense, but in the highest sense, in which the Son of man came not to be ministered unto but to minister—the sense He took upon Himself the form of a servant—slave in the original. The spirit of service in the black man is born of his spiritual genius.
