Most savage races are not mentally sluggish. The African Zulu tests the wit and resources of an ed- ucated missionary. The Polynesian cannibal is a natural orator and takes to law and theology with every Readiness. The aborigines of Australia are quickwitted. With their^struggle for existance, their perpetual " qui, " their traditions, their stores^ of literature, of no mean merit, transmitted 'orally for ages, most savage people are not like "dumb driven cattle;" yet their life is. Little bett...er than that of brutes, because the moral nature is dormant. - . The differentia of the races seem to be in moral strength, in guiding in-, stincts, in power to "sense" things, "in their genius for this or that. Within school or college walls these distinctions hardly appear. In active life they are conspicuous and decisive. ' With us, the question with the colored race is not, to what culture the gifted . . '. Few can attain; we find negro blood among those in the higher ranks of suc- cess of many kinds ; but what does the race, as a whole, need most and need ' ; now, ?, How shall their weak points be made strong ?
