the people believed that the seven

The people of ancient Gaul also had
superstition, believing that the

full moon and the seven stars were
on the meridian at the same time.
The Hottentots of South Africa and
the Abipones of South America each
claim that the seven stars are their
deceased fathers and grandfathers.

Africa and South America hold that

and the moon were on a certain me-
ridian together. The Peruvians also
had seven stars ceremonies, but with
out sacrifice, at about the same time
the Mexicans were carrying on their
paganistic rites. The ancient Druids
believed the seven stars to be boats
which carried souls to the Judgment
seat of the ssGod of the dead.''
