It teaches us that the earth's population constitutes one family; that we are all vivified by one and the same hereditary blood; and that we owe one to another the affection, sympathy and kindness of brethren. Baron Humboldt, speaking of the important bearing of this doctrine, says, 'Deeply rooted in the innermost nature of man, and enjoined upon him by the highest tendencies, the recognition of this bond of humanity becomes one of the noblest leading principles in the history of mankind.'"e;I.
