Excerpt from The Four Gospels: Arranged as a Practical Family Commentary, for Every Day in the Year Minds of the young in this great subject, - to show to them, simply, but clearly and effectually, what God really means to teach in his holy word, - to take off the dull, technical, and barren aspect under which this word habit ually appears before them, and to make them feel that it is really attractive, striking, and full of instruction which they will truly love to receive, is an object worthy of the labor and devotion of any human mind; an employment large and important enough to command any exertions, or any study, on the part of those who feel a real desire to be spiritually useful to others.
