In THE Gospel of Jesus affords the clearest information respecting human duty, and is the only certain guide as to human expectations. Hence what⚫ ever directs the attention and the interest of the mind, to the records of the Christian revelation, must be of high practical value. Whatever increases our acquaintance with the Scriptures, must tend to give such a direction; and it is hoped that the following sheets will, in this view, be beneficial among the young. drawing them up, I proposed to myself no other end than the promotion of an acquaintance with the Scriptures; particularly among those in whose religious culture I am deeply interested by my situation. Had I known of any other means of communicating, to my catechumens and pupils, that degree of information respecting the geography of the New Testament, which appeared requisite for a correct acquaintance with the history of our Lord and his Apostles, this little work would not have been undertaken. No probable sale will compensate for the time and labour, which have been given to it, JUN 25 1901 150024 |
