Excerpt from The Chosen People: A Compendium of Sacred and Church History for School-Children The questions at the end are chiefly intended to direct the mind of the learner to the point of each lesson. It will be perceived that the answers must be prepared as well from the Bible as from the book; and in most cases the teacher will in use have to multiply, and perhaps to simplify them. One of their especial objects has been to show the ever brightening stream of prophecy, and after wards, its accomplishment alike with regard to heathen nations, to the history of the Jews, of the Church, and, above all, to the Life of our Blessed Lord; and it is hoped that those who examine into them, cannot fail to be struck With the full and per feet accordance of the beginning with the end and if they learn no other lesson, will have it impressed on them how the counsel of the Lord endureth for ever. Two tables have been added for the convenience of the scholar, one giving the contemporary kings and prophets, the other the course of historical chapters, with, as far as possible, the prophetical, didactic, or poetical books, of the same date ranged in parallel lines. It is hoped that these may be found useful in arranging lessons for upper classes or pupil teachers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
