Greetings to all JAH's children on the occasion of the 86th anniversary of the cornation of Ras Tafari as Emperor of Ethiopia Haile Selassie I. Give thanks and praises unto the Almighty on this precious day.

THE CORONATION OF EMPEROR RAS TAFARI 1

Last Sunday, a great ceremony took place at Addis Abbaba [Ababa], the capital of Abyssinia. It was the coronation of the new Emperor of Ethiopia - Ras Tafari. From reports and expectations, the scene was one of great splendour, and will long be remembered by those who were present. Several of the leading nations of Europe sent representatives to the coronation, thereby paying their respects to a rising Negro nation that is destined to play a great part in the fiiture history of the world. Abyssinia is the land of the blacks and we are glad to learn that even though Europeans have been trying to impress the Abyssinians that they are not belonging to the Negro Race, they have returned the retort that they are, and that they are proud to be so.
