Excerpt from The Parables of the Old Testament The minister who chooses to preach from the Parables of the Old Testament will find that most of the stories are new and fresh to his auditors, and he himself will not fail to share in the consequent interest and alertness which such preaching awakens in a congregation. The teacher or popular speaker will find much in these Parables which may be em ployed with telling effect to illustrate morals. The Parables dealt with in this volume represent the garnered wisdom of prophets, chroniclers, and seers, some of them known and some of them nu known, but all worthy of a better acquaintance. These addresses have been delivered and this book is now sent forth in the Name of Him who taught the people in Parables, and without a Parable spake He not unto them.
