Can we SEE that the earth is a globe? Yes, we can, when we watch a ship that
sails out to sea. If we watch closely, we see the ship begin to disappear. The
bottom of the ship disappears first, and then the ship seems to sink lower and
lower, until we can only see the top of the ship, and then we see nothing at all.
What is hiding the ship from us? It is the earth. Stick a pin most of the way into
an orange, and slowly turn the orange away from you. You will see the pin
disappear, just as a ship does on the earth.

At the bottom of the sea there are creatures that do not know what light means.

day or night. There are no seasons, no sun, no moon, and no stars. It is as if a
child spent its life in darkness in bed, with nothing to see or hear.
How different our own life is! Sight shows us the ground beneath our feet and
the heavens above us - the sun, moon, and stars, shooting stars, lightning, and
