These things teach us how easy it is to be deceived in religious matters, and how careful we should be not to adopt new and singular notions upon this important subject Jupiter, having escaped his father's jaws, was nursed by a goat. V7tien he was a year old, he was a prodigious fellow. By this time the Titans had imprisoned his father, Saturn. So Jupiter made war upon them ; he released his father, and con- quered heaven, earth and hell. Heaven and earth he reserved to himself; the sea he gave... to Neptune, and the lower regions to Pluto. Jupiter was supposed to be immortal, and of boundless power ; but he yet had the pas- sions of a man. Many of his actions, as detailed by the Grecian poets, would be re- garded by us as very base, selfish and wicked, and worthy of being punished by confine- ment in the penitentiary. Such is the character of the chief god, in a system of man's invention. Does not this show us that the religion of the Bible, which reveals to us a God pure, holy, just and good, is of divine origin ?
