Excerpt from Sacred Scenes and Characters Sacred mountains has prompted these sketches, viz. To render more familiar some of the most interest ing scenes described in the Bible. As I said in my preface to that work; delineations of character, inci dents, scenes, and indeed principles, are given only in outline ln the sacred volume.
