Description:"Brother Jasper's contention that the sun "do move" is sound." -The Ecclesiastical Review, 1914 " It was with a feeling of relief that we at last came across the lecture of the Rev. Mr. Jasper that “the sun do move” around, in the most positive, if not the most grammatical, style." “Joshua and Solomon Say It Moves.”—The Rev. John Jasper, of New York, and his congregation, care nothing for the astronomers, from Galileo downwards. This preacher, the New York Herald tells us, draws an audience to Mount Zion Baptist Chapel sufficient to fill five churches. One Sunday in 1878 he “devoted his sermon to contradicting the false theories of philosophers, which theories attempt to prove that the world moves round the sun.” Mr. Jasper contended in his sermon that the world stands still and the sun moves over it. In beginning his sermon he boldly avowed that, if he did not prove by Bible authority that the sun moves, he would never preach again. He then cited numerous instances from the Bible to prove “that the sun do move," and began with Joshua's causing the sun to stand still, following that up with quotations from the Psalmist, Malachi, Solomon and Exodus. At the close of his sermon he said to the vast congregation present, ‘Now, all you what believe that the sun do move, hold up your right hand,’ and every man, woman and child in the building elevated a hand, thus showing that they were convinced by the arguments and eloquence of Brother Jasper that the sun moves. After this the Earth will certainly not have the presumption to proceed in its usual orbit and the results must be credited to the Rev Mr. Jasper. John Jasper (1812 - 1901) was an ex-slave who became a Baptist minister and noted public speaker for Christianity after the American Civil War. After his own emancipation following the American Civil War, Rev. Jaspar founded the Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Church in Richmond, which by 1887 had attracted 2500 members and served as a religious and social center of Richmond's predominately black Jackson Ward—providing a Sunday School and other services. Jasper's vivid oratory and dramatic speaking style brought renown and calls for him to preach throughout the Eastern United States. His most famous sermon, The Sun Do Move, expressed his deep faith in God through the imagery of a flat Earth around which the sun rotates. This sermon republished here, was placed in print in 1882. Jasper was born and brought up a slave, “experienced conviction” on his twenty-seventh birthday, learned to read and write, and subsequently became famous for his “the sun do move” sermon, based on Exodus vv., 3, in which he maintained that “we live on a four-cornered earth, around which the sun moves.” According to author William E. Hatcher, Jasper is "the most original, masterful, and powerful negro preacher of the old sort that this country has ever produced." In 1910 "The Tariff Review" arguing against free trade referenced Jasper's sermon stating: "Some years ago there was an old colored clergyman in Richmond named Brother Jasper. Brother Jasper had a famous sermon in which he undertook to prove that 'the sun do move,' and, in fact, there is a good deal to be said for the theory that 'the sun do move.' If you put a stick out in the sunshine and watch the shadow, you will say that it is obvious that the sun does move. It is indeed obvious." Thus it appears that the famous sermon and its title had at the turn of the century become ingrained in the popular culture and part of public discourse similar to the way "flat-earther" is used in modern discourse to poke holWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
