(From The Normal Light [April 1910]: page 8)   THE GREATNESS OF THE EMPIRE   Few persons are aware of the enormous compass of the British Empire. Great Britain is today sovereign over 11,908,277 square miles, or nearly one-fifth of the land surface of the globe, and her subjects are not far from 400,000,000 or more than one-fourth of the population of the entire globe. The area of the British Dominion is distributed approximately as follows: In Europe, 125,095 square miles; America, 5,000,000; Australasia, 500,000,000; Africa, 2,500,000; Asia, 2,000,000. The population of the Empire is distributed as follows: In Europe, 42,000,000; in America, 42,000,00; in Africa, 43,000,000; and in Asia 300,000,000. The white population is 56,000,000 and the colored 344,000,000. The territory covered by the British Empire very nearly equals the combined possessions of the United States, France and China.
