MOSES' CLAIM TO FAME 143 



Moses will live in history. He deserves to do so, because 

 he was the first of his race that ever spoke a word of human 

 speech ; because he was the first that ever conversed in his 

 own language with a human being ; and because he was 

 the first that ever signed his name to any document. Fame 

 will not deny him a niche in her temple among the heroes 

 who have led the races of the world.
