“The analogies, too, in the physical geography of the country, between their present location and the Palestine of the East, are too striking not to have made a deep impression upon their minds. Who can fail to see in the Great Salt Lake the counterpart of the Dead Sea of the plains; in Lake Utah the Sea of Galilee, and in the river that connects the two the Western Jordan? Only reverse the points of the compass, and the resemblance is perfect.”
