This work has engaged the author's attention, at intervals, for several years; and is the result of the labor of such leisure moments as could be snatched from the more pressing duties of an active pastorate.

It will be found a time saver to all students of the Bible, and a convenient help to young ministers and Sunday-School teachers. Trusting that the Divine blessing will rest upon this humble effort to make the Bible its own expositor on the topics herein presented, the author submits it to the public.
