Excerpt from Souls of the Infinite: An Outline of the Truth Once upon a time, very long ago, thousands of years before the Star of Bethelem was set, thousands of years before the Pyramids were built, away back it happened, ages and ages, before ever history began. Can you imagine how things must have looked then? When the human family was very small, when they roamed over just a portion of one continent and all the rest of the great, wide world was new and unsettled. When all of Europe, all of Africa, all of North and South America contained not one civilized being. There must have been a lot of room in the world then think of all the countries that we know and there was nobody there - it must have been a lonesome place to live in. How do you suppose the valley of the Ti gris looked in those early, early days when the oldest town in the world was not yet thought of and the Jordan was away, way out on the frontier? Of course, you most probably have never seen the Tigris at any time, but then you have read about it in the geography; it is in Central Asia. Well, this valley looked quite some like it does to-day. It was much shorter, though; the river itself was swift er and not so deep. The grass on its banks, the trees and the wild flowers, the blue sky and the hills looked just the same as now.
