The prejudice of race is mere superstition, for God created all men of one race. In the beginning there were no limits, no boundaries put to the different lands. There should be no different nations, we are all men, all descendants of Adam. We must not think of a man as an Englishman or a Frenchman or a Persian. This is all mere superstition.
