First lessons in the Old Testament...

Preface

The growing demand for instruction in Bible history, and the lack of suitable text-books on this subject have led to the preparation of the lessons contained in this little volume.

These lessons are designed not only to present the facts of sacred history, but also to impart a knowledge of the principles of morality found in God's word, thus giving to the child that moral training which is so often neglected.

This work is the first of a series of three grades now in preparation, each grade consisting of two books, one covering the Old and the other the New Testament history.

Such notes, suggestions, and references as will be of benefit to the teacher are given on each lesson. These notes are found only in the Teachers' Edition.

Several schools have already used the lessons in manuscript form with good results. It is with the hope that more good may be accomplished that they are now presented in the present form.
