[399:3] Compare "Apollo among the Muses," and "The Vine and its
Branches" (that is, Christ Jesus and his Disciples), in Lundy's
_Monumental Christianity_, pp. 141-143. As Mr. Lundy says, there is so
striking a resemblance between the two, that one looks very much like a
copy of the other. Apollo is also represented as the "_Good Shepherd_,"
with a lamb upon his back, just exactly as Christ Jesus is represented
in Christian Art. (See Lundy's Monumental Christianity, and Jameson's
Hist. of Our Lord in Art.)

[399:4] The Roman god Jonas, or Janus, with his keys, was changed into
Peter, who was surnamed Bar-Jonas. Many years ago a statue of the god
Janus, in bronze, being found in Rome, he was perched up in St. Peter's
with his keys in his hand: the very identical god, in all his native
ugliness. This statue sits as St. Peter, under the cupola of the church
of St. Peter. It is looked upon with the most profound veneration: the
toes are nearly kissed away by devotees.

[400:3] The "_Grand Lama_" is the head of a priestly order in Thibet and
Tartar. The office is not hereditary, but, like the Pope of Rome, he is
elected by the priests. (Inman's Ancient Faiths, vol. ii. p. 203. See
