168 THE PATRIARCHAL TIMES.
the first volume of his " History of the Eeligion of Jesus Christ, " represents a winged boy on a rain- bow with an aged man kneeling before him in the attitude of worship. 1 The Chinese esteemed the rainbow as the harbinger of troubles and misfor- tunes on the earth, while the early Scandinavians regarded it as a bridge constructed by the gods from earth to heaven. The Greeks called it by the name of Iris with which is probably connected the beautiful word Ir...ene, "peace" fabled it to be the daughter of Thaumas or Wonder, and Electra or Brightness, herself the daughter of Oceanus, and assigned it the office of Messenger to the King and Queen of Olympus. Indeed, Homer 2 speaks of rainbows as having been fixed in clouds by the son of Kronos as "a sign to articulate speaking men. " Yet neither of these coincidences between pagan mythology and the biblical story, nor all of them together, can estab- lish the position that the latter should be thrust down to the level of the former, while the con- nection of the rainbow with God's covenant of salvation places the latter at an immense moral elevation above the former, and so secures for it an acceptance which is denied to these.
