And of the dimensions of theuniverse, which is believed by many of the best astronomers tobe millions of light-years in diameter, so large that light travelingat the rate of 186,000 miles a second, or 11,000,000 miles a minutewould take more than ten or even a hundred million years toreach us from the confines of space. What rapturous knowledgeis reserved for us in the world to come! IP ^^ -^ PRACTICAL LEGAL EDUCATION. *Paul L. Martin, A. M., LL. B. k %*?** _ •OhXSS rL=m=_ -r-g£i.
