PREFACE.
i
This work is designed especially^ but not
exclusively^ for the younger classes of Sab-
bath-schools. It embraces a general and
connected account of the most important
events recorded in the Old and New Testa-
ments. The answers to questions are short,
simple, and, as far as practicable, in Bible
language. In the New Testament, the ques-
tions on the Evangelists are taken from them
all collectively, and not in the order of any
one in particular. Such a general view of the
contents of the Bible seems necessary, as an
'ntroduction to the study of particular por-
ions of it.
4 PREFACE.
The series of Union Questions, in sixteen
volumes, published by the Society, is now used
more or less extensively by all evangelical
denominations, and is found well adapted to
the development and illustration of divine
truth. This little manual may be regarded
as introductory to that series.
j|@^ The chapter and verse containing the
answer are stated whenever it is practicable ;
and the teacher can enlarge the course of
instruction at his discretion.
