PREFACE.


The object of the "GOOD CHILD'S LIBRARY," is to encourage a taste for
Scripture reading, by presenting some of the most interesting portions
of the New Testament narrative, in the attractive form of verse. While
the children read these verses, they will not only become acquainted
with the principal events in the lives of our Blessed Saviour and His
Apostles--their travels, their sufferings and their death,--but they
will see that the Bible is a readable book, and a book that may be read
