This World Moves.
By S. A. ASKEW, NJ. D., Peoria

According to science this world is many million years
DID, yet the oldest written history of dates back less
than six thousand years.
There is abundance of evidence which proves that in
tegent human beings lived here long before written
record began. The question naturally arising is, why
should there be history of that great emotes past?
There many things be considered before any effort
like logical attempt to this query should be
tried.
The oldest ruling class of the world today is but
mere infant when compared with the facts revealed by sci
ence We are led to believe and there good
for it, that every of people that we know any
thing about has, at period onother, played
mpo tant part in the history of the world. Here again
comes the question which somebody wont to ask where
is the history of their work This person would
have you believe that the present day history contains all
that is worth knowing about the past
Yes he will tell you that all which lies beyond the
remotest veil of millions of years is not worth knowing
No. it is worthless! All that is worth the while is told in
few lines in any ancient history Just six lines in
Meyers Ancient History tell all worth knowing about
the doings of the Black Race.
Just think of it, only six lines The descendants of
Ham, from which the Black Race comes settled in the val
ley of the Nile Africa and there erected great
meus faultess in construction the remains OF which
stand today as evidence of the greatest wonder of
the world How the pyrimids built.
Mr. Historian2 His is mute. This people
has given the world the greatest arts known today
They embalmed Consider the mummes. They
records the written rbes in the museum They
buried the dead, the tombs tell the story They built
palaces look at the mighty ruins They constructed
uments the pyrmids and the sphinxs They practiced
medicine the art of embalmng the work of the doe
tor The Bible tells that Joseph commanded the ply
sscians to embalm his father (Jacob)
Well but what became of this great history of your
peopeg Somebody asks. My answer is, it destroy
ed by more war like It custom of the anci
destroy every trace of when they could
The great Carthage destroyed and the site poughed
up Out of population of 100000 only $4,000 were
alive wnen the city taken The motto of the Romans
