PREFACE.

The object of the present publication is to stimulate to more diligent and systematic study of God's Word.

In compiling and preparing the collection of “ Notes for Bible Readings” herewith presented to the Christian public, no attempt has been made at an elaborate arrangement or subjects, or to give exhaustive explanatory notes in connection with any subject; but the aim has been rather to collect such matter as would prove suggestive and awaken further study and research into the golden depths of the Word.

A large amount of matter has been added, all bearing on Bible reading, Bible study, &c.; this has been done in order to give the best thoughts of some of the most prominent Bible students and Christian workers of our time, upon this most important Christian duty and privilege.

These “Notes” have been gathered from various sources ; many of them have been kindly contributed by friends, and others are clippings from different religious publications, Where the authors are known their names or initials have been given. For all such favors the parties interested will please accept the thanks of the editors.
