THE YELLOW TIDE.

DOOM OF WHITE RACES.

BISHOP'S GLOOMY FORECAST.

The gloomy prediction that the white races are likely to be overthrown by the yellow, and that even if they survive western civilisation will be destroyed by the revolt of the inferior elements of the | population, was nude by Bishop Stephens jon opening the Newcastle (New South ; Wales; Anglican Synod last week. The j tragedy of Russia, he said, would be re--1 pealed on a larger scale. Quoting from Stoddart's work on the '"Rising Tide of Colour," he said: | "Modern biology assures us that welcome j into this world with powers inherited | from our ancestors, and that th«« powers i are definite and unalterable. Education j and other influences can bring out these j powers, but cannot add # to them. " In '. modern civilisation there is a tendency for ; the better strain of inheritance to dimin- ! ish, and for inferior strain* to increase. J The more intelligent, more capable \ natures come to the top and lead and i control the nation. But from various j causes they have fewer children than the : average; whereas the class inferior in : capacity multiplies more rapidly. The j result is that the belter class grows i smaller in proportion to the increase in i numbers of th* worse.'-' ■" : ) A■. •'. ■ -.: -.■ ■•■: .'' '■'."'• ■• \ ■ ■..-•- ■..' ' "■,".-..■ . -'-:' ■'.
