Early in the history of every nation religious sentiment has ex-pressed itself in united worship, ever one of the strongest bonds of national union.
The sacred grove, or holy place where the sacrifice was offered, became in time a temple, or sacred building, cut off from ordinary places, to enshrine the emblem or image of the deity.
The way of approach and the mode of offering the oblation, or sacrifice, was the secret of the presiding priests, whose instructions and commands, issued as the very oracles of the God amid awful mystery, were implicitly believed and observed with a complete and abject submission.
