FOREWORD

The five volumes of THE BIBLE STORY have served to beautify andclassify the Bible and are simple and complete in themselves. They donot require explanation or enrichment. It is the desire, however, bythe addition of this volume to suggest definite ways of using thework.

This book contains a series of suggestions to fit the occasion, thetemperament, and the time of the user. It may be picked up often and apart of it used as opportunity offers. We believe there may be thosewho will wish to use all the suggestions. We are sure that all who ownTHE BIBLE STORY will wish to use some of them.

This volume has the following aims:--

In General:

To give a better knowledge of the Bible and thus to make reading it adelight instead of a task.

Specifically:

To show how to use the work with children and how children may use it.
To make the Bible as useful as possible in character building.
To bring out the connection of the Bible with its land.
To show the connection of the Bible with literature.
