Whatever opinions some may entertain in regart
to the origin and inspiration of the Dib.e, it i.
certain that rs means of imparttng ethical in.

of its leading IDEAS its world renowned passages
Its heroic characters, the pupil cannot properly
understand and appreciate even the literature o.
of the English tongue. Bible reading, therefore
cannot be omitted from the exercises of the schto
without a great loss. 1t is the mission OF thu
present book to select the most appropriate ant
n spring passagesof the Old and New Testament
! and to arrange them conveniently for school use
