Excerpt from The Southern Negro as He Is

Sir John Lubbock, in his chapter on the Character of Religion among the Lower Races of Men, says: In fact, the so-called religion of the lower races bears somewhat the same relation to religion in its higher forms that astrology does to astronomy, or alchemy to chemistry. Astronomy is derived from astrology, yet their spirit is in entire opposition, and we shall find the same difference between the religions of backward and of advanced races.
