Excerpt from Some Isms of to-Day

Few stories in the Bible are more beautiful than the one we have read this morning. One is at a loss to tell what to admire the most, whether its poetry, or its daring, or its moral. Its hero, pleading and arguing with God in behalf of his rebellious people, wholly unmindful of the personal advantage held out to him, so aroused the poetic fire of Heine as to move him to say, that, on that mountain-top, God seemed but a reflection of the greatness of Moses. I quite forgive the poet his seeming blasphemy, for I quite share his admiration of Moses.

And I believe that the two of us but echo the admiration evinced by the original writer of this episode. I do not for one moment think that the bard, who first conceived this story, meant his hearers to believe that he was describing an actual scene between God and Moses.
