Book excerpt: Excerpt from Odd Fellows' Literary Casket, 1854, Vol. 1: A Monthly Magazine, Devoted to Odd-Fellowship and General Literature The mysterious power secreted in the ark and holy vessels connected therewith, unattended by any human agency, eventually wrought out for itself its own deliverance. Even the temple of Dagon and its god felt its power, nor could the proud city of Ekron, nor its mighty men, retain the sacred treasure. Like the holy mount on the summit of which, amid lightnings and thunder and darkness, it was divinely planned, and at the base of which it was constructed, none but consecrated hands were allowed to touch it, lest they die. Restored to its proper custodians, Israel again enjoyed peace and prosperity; idols were abolished, groves and images cut down, and days of promise and hope returned to the chosen as the golden sun emerges from the clouds after the storm has passed away. The great Jehovah was again acknowledged by the nation as their king, and all hearts united in pouring forth ascriptions of praise to the majesty on high.
