This book contains all the grammar
that is needed by students in the first
wear of Greek 1t is the result of con-
siderable experience in teaching be-
ciuucrs. and each section has been test
ed in the classroom before publication.
On the completion of the sixty lessons
i'm the book, the student should be able.
without much difficulty, to translate
simple Attic prose. The work has
been limited to the strict essentials of
the language, with the view that Il
larger Greek Grammar will be used by
the student after his first year. The
paradigmS of certain infrcqucIt words
are omitted, and only the cOnmoner
and more usual forms of construction
are introduced. The more difficult
lenses of the verb are taken up only
after the simpler ones have been
mastered. The directions for Greek
pronunciation are brief and practical.
The exercises for translation into
Greek are short, and involve the use
only of words from NcnOphon. Fol-
lowing the Greek Lessons are SimDli
fled selections from the Anabasis,
which will serve in the transition 10

This book is Il rcvercnt statement
concerning fundamental realities. Its
t,lclIinC is biblical to the core. In holy
Scripture 1t finds a divine warrant for
prayer and a divine invitation to the
enjoyment of its privilege. On the so
called Lords prayer it POUNDS it's cX-
position of what prayer is and OF what
prayer does. The significance Of that
perfect example of true prayer is de-
Iiehtfully and powerfully unfoidcd.
Withal the teaching is rational, philo-
sochica;. scientific.
The book is vigorously argumenta-
tive. yet its argument is tender with
love and hope. 1t sweeps away illu-
sions to the end that truth may APP
pear in attractive beauty. The book
is manifestly .hc work of one who has
abundantly experienced the truths Of
which he writes.
