Excerpt from Topics for Teachers, Vol. 1: A Manual for Ministers, Bible-Class Leaders, and Sunday-School Teachers We welcome Mr. Gray's Topics for Teachers, because it promises such efficient service in the direction indicated. The author is already favorably known in England and America through his Class and Desk, two volumes devoted to a course of Old and New Testament studies. The aim of the present work. Is thus stated by the author in his preface to the English edition: These volumes are the fruit of an eu deavor to throw the substance of the Bible Encyclopedia, Concordance, and Text-book into the form of lessons adapted to the Bible-class and the Sunday-school; and at the same time so to preserve the distinctive features of such books as that the purposes they answer may yet be supplied by this Work to those who may not need it for teaching purposes. Hence Topics for Teachers is an Encyclopedia, a Concord ance, a Text-book, and a Manual for the class. It is at least four books in one, and may be used as either Of those books would be if any one Of them were separately required. It is assumed that the teacher, in preparing for his class, will con sult at least the books above referred to, and out of them construct his lesson. In these volumes, for scarcely the price of one Of the least expensive of the foregoing works, there is the principal part of the substance of all, with the lessons in addition. This volume is another Of the Teachers' Series now in course of publication under the auspices of our Normal Department. Its companion will soon be issued. Let us urge pastors and superintendents to organize special Bible classes for the study of these Topics. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
