No doubt you will say that sueb calculations involve a loss of time, and are, after all, barren of results, but aj wo are engaged in giving curious read ings and odd calculations, let us take a few minutes time and approximate, with a certain degree of accuracy, a! least, the number of souls that have bivn ushered into and out of this sinful world since the time when it was no! good for Adam to bo slnne. At the present time it Is lielieved that there are 1,400,000,000 human beings on out globe; but let us suppose there hashers but an average of Ul)o,000,000 living at one time since the creation. TogM room for any possiblo doubt as M the average length of life, we will P"1 it down at ") years. (It may have been longer than that during Hible times, it has been much shorter, however, since) With the average length of life reck oned as abOTO, we have had two genera tions of 000,000,000 each every centurj for the past fl.OOO years. Taking tW for granted, we have had about oo,iWi,' B4S,U7, 075,000 inhabitants on this globe since the beginning of time.
