Jelircnphat j tignrativoly mentis “tlm highest bilk |aud lowest vales;” anil these from tie | ' inhast ages woro eatcemed sacred, and , tho Spirit of (tod was supposed In dwell therein. The book of Ih.okiel, xlviii 12 j/iayb. “Upon the top of tlm mountains, I tho wholo limit thereof round about i iihnll bo most holy.” It is said ia the | Old Testament, tliut tlie Spirit of (.toil ; buried Moses in n valley in the land of j Moab, implying i| hallowed interment ol I Mod's clio«eti When Elijel. was trans lated, the sons of tho prophet said to Elisha “Belioiil now there tie with tliyj servants, filly strong men; let them go, | we pray thee, uml seek thy master, test peiadventure, thoßpirit of the Lord lias taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley.” Here we see tho veneration paid to tho liiils alnl vales. Not only these, but tlie trees that crowned their crest, were esteemed sacred. French history proves this, fur those magi known ns Ibyadic, wuship pe 1 ttio oak, hence their name. Tlie i The Etrurians worshipped n (trim tree. ; Among tin* (Alt a tall oak was consid ered tlie imago of Jupiter. The Israel ite were not idolaters for a long time, but in Judi iii 7. v.o find traces of their turning away from the true God; nlsh in I Kings xviii 10. li Kings xxi 7. and li Chronicles xv 10. These passa ges, and many others, will show how easy it is for man to forget God. Tlie j unenlightened tniod took tho typo for ! tlie original, henco they could not dis cern tlie light from darkness; for we find that in a few years, all, or nearly all, of ilio sacred places of worship, became objects of enthusiastic bigotry aud sii- , perstitiou. Still, there were a few sages j who preserved themselves from the cor ruption of the times. These select men retained and understood the truth, and we find them scattered, and denomina ted magi among tlie I\mans, wiseacres, soothsayer,-, and astrologers among tlie Chaldeans, philosophers among the Greeks and uonttr.s, Brniuius among tho Indians, druids and hards among Iho Britons, aud among the chosen ser vant.s (,: ; I.nud living God.
