It is made up Of several small books, and when bound in two parts is known as the Old Testament and the New Testament. A Testament is a will and the Bible is God's will made for man's good, and for his guide through life. The Old Testa ment tells Of God's love and care for the Jews, and His thought Of Christ can be traced through all its pages. There is a good deal in the Bible that a child cannot understand, and the queer names make it very hard reading. It has been the Author's aim to tell the story simply, and in Bible language, so that the little ones can read it themselves; and learn to love and prize it as the best Of all books.
