tI0(@1tediy called attention to the
ciniius OF the Chinese historians. They
claim that this country was ruled over
INST by gods, and then by persons who
dszcended from gods. These claims
mast be dismissed ms mythical. Some
c3mmenee their historical period about
n. G. Ss0e, but their records for that
period abound In fabulous talks which
render them untrustworihy. Sir
n George RaWlison declares that "Chi,
nese Investigators can find nothing
fpiid or substantial III the part of the
'celestials' earlier than i. c. 1871, or at
the farthest, b. c. 1884" This DECLARE
rion is ilninipeachable. So far as the
recor''od real history OF the Chinese
Is concerned there is no conflict with
Moses history OF our race.
Other skeptlcs appeal to the Shnstas
and Nedas of Hindoos In order to de-
fenh their assertion that the race origi-
naird scores Of thousands Of years ago.
" Whether they have read the Shasters,
ye,las or rot, they know, l do not.
But those sacred books" fail to secure
the veneration of many who are re-
CARRIED scholars and for very good
feasons. Those sacred books inform
US that men originally lived to be only
4 ten years old; tGataS the centuries and
milleniuIns rolled, the years OF his life

Leaving China and India, Egyptian

EfYed temple OF ancient Egypt, is
that OF Atllor, the Egyptian Venus, ut
