Excerpt from Our Rich Inheritance
What a well-nigh limitless heritage have we re ceived from the past! Think of what nature in days gone by has stored up for our use to-day. Ages ago there were great, giant trees with branches towering up well toward the sky, and perchance the merest shrub may have grown as high as the famous big trees of California. Ferns as high as cedars grew among the trees and on the sides of the hills. The floods came and the winds blew, and those giant ferns and more than giant trees one after another fell to the earth and lay there still where they had fallen. Other floods came and other winds blew. Earth and rocks were washed upon the bodies of the giants, the débris of centuries buried them deeper and deeper below the surface, generation after generation of men who knew not what was beneath their feet passed over the spot. Heat and pressure did their work. And to-day men dig into the bowels of the earth and find the well-nigh priceless fields of coal for use in the generation of heat and light and power.
