(TO BE CONTINUED) It can be proved by a simple calculation that the number of people which have existed on the globe during the past 6,000 years approximates the grand total of 60,000,000,000,000,000, they are certainly the great majority on the other side of the vail, consequently the study of our ancestors should be of interest to all. Daniel Webster on one occasion said, "Those who do not look upon themselves as a link connecting the past with the future, do not perform their duty to the world." |
