PREFACE.
THE great number of Bible story books that have beenpublished show how many attempts have been madeto supply the want which has long been felt of a workcontaining a carefully written story of the Scripturenarrative for young people.
In this great work which is written in simplelanguage, the captivating story of the Bible is told in a stylethat will cause it to be read over and over again, and the thrillingtruths and beautiful lessons it contains will never be forgotten.
It takes the reader through the Bible in fifty-two lessons,each lesson comprising three readings for each Sabbath ofthe year, while a series of questions following each reading, helpto impress upon the young mind the truths of the Holy Scripture.
The work begins with the marvellous Story of the Creation,describing the beauties of the Garden of Eden, and the awfuldisaster of the flood; it relates the thrilling scenes in the life ofAbraham and the other Patriarchs, and furnishes a greatpanorama of the wonderful events in the dawn of history.
