Excerpt from Women of the New Testament Lthough this volume appears in the series which contains Dr. Horton's beautiful studies of the women Of the Old Testament, 1 desire to state that it is not my aim to attempt a sequel to that delightful work. Fortunately any such ambitious design is precluded by the entire change of situation and atmosphere which comes in with the dawning of the Christian era. Those old-world stories of patriarchal times; familiar to us from our childhood, yet ever fresh and abounding in vivid details, demand a dramatic treatment and a pictur esque setting. It is fortunate when they fall to the pen of a writer whose imaginative skill is adequate to the task of setting them out in their variegated hues.
