THE COMET 149 _A Hymn to the Peoples_ 161_Credo_I believe in God, who made of one blood all nations that on earth dodwell. I believe that all men, black and brown and white, are brothers,varying through time and opportunity, in form and gift and feature, butdiffering in no essential particular, and alike in soul and thepossibility of infinite development.Especially do I believe in the Negro Race: in the beauty of its genius,the sweetness of its soul, and its strength in that meekness which shallyet inherit this turbulent earth.I believe in Pride of race and lineage and self: in pride of self sodeep as to scorn injustice to other selves; in pride of lineage so greatas to despise no man's father; in pride of race so chivalrous as neitherto offer bastardy to the weak nor beg wedlock of the strong, knowingthat men may be brothers in Christ, even though they be notbrothers-in-law.I believe in Service--humble, reverent service, from the blackening ofboots to the whitening of souls; for Work is Heaven, Idleness Hell, andWage is the Well done! of the Master, who summoned all them that laborand are heavy laden, making no distinction between the black, sweatingcotton hands of Georgia and the first families of Virginia, since alldistinction not based on deed is devilish and not divine.I believe in the Devil and his angels, who wantonly work to narrow theopportunity of struggling human beings, especially if they be black; whospit in the faces of the fallen, strike them that cannot strike again,believe the worst and work to prove it, hating the image which theirMaker stamped on a brother's soul.I believe in the Prince of Peace. I believe that War is Murder. Ibelieve that armies and navies are at bottom the tinsel and braggadocioof oppression and wrong, and I believe that the wicked conquest ofweaker and darker nations by nations whiter and stronger but foreshadowsthe death of that strength.I believe in Liberty for all men: the space to stretch their arms andtheir souls, the right to breathe and the right to vote, the freedom tochoose their friends, enjoy the sunshine, and ride on the railroads,uncursed by color; thinking, dreaming, working as they will in a kingdomof beauty and love.I believe in the Training of Children, black even as white; the leadingout of little souls into the green pastures and beside the still waters,not for pelf or peace, but for life lit by some large vision of beautyand goodness and truth; lest we forget, and the sons of the fathers,like Esau, for mere meat barter their birthright in a mighty nation.Finally, I believe in Patience--patience with the weakness of the Weakand the strength of the Strong, the prejudice of the Ignorant and theignorance of the Blind; patience with the tardy triumph of Joy and themad chastening of Sorrow.
