From this estlmatel 1t appears, that there are
more than Pagans and Mahometans to
Christian, and only one Protestant to II of all
other denominations. Although all the Ro-
imam Catholics, Greeks, and Protestants, were
reckoned true Christians, there still remain

consequently, if mankind had never died,


there would have been 182 times the present
number Of the earths' inhabitants now In ex-

emerged from non. existence to the stage or
life; SO that, almost every moment, ratlonsi
