Turning now to religious conditions, the great temple in Ur was dedicated to the moon-god whose name was Sin. It was in existence at least twelve hundred years before Abram, and we know not how much earlier. In three great stages it towered far SERMON. 27 above the city, and on its summit the priests kept their astronomical and religious night-watches. In the worship there were animal sacrifices, and occasion- ally a human sacrifice. There were fasts and festi- vals, processions, music, hymns a...nd prayers. The sense of sin was clearly expressed, but magical incantations were chiefly relied on as mode of deliver- ance from its curse. Many of the incantations and many hymns are preserved upon the tablets found in the temple library. Some hymns give clear indication of ideas and convictions far above much of the worship ; as if the religion had once been purer, but had greatly degenerated.
