The writer tells his readers that despite notions to the contrary, the distinction between races "rests not upon ethnological distinctions, upon the shape of a bone, the color of the skin, or the quality of the hair; but upon the common consanguinity found in the equal participation of the pleasures and pains, the joys and sorrows, of our spiritual natures."
