PREFACE.

The following pages are printed from notes used in a series of lecturesbefore the "Catholic Summer School of America" at Pittsburgh. They areneither an exhaustive nor a scientific exposition, but are meant as asuggestive introduction, in popular form, to the intelligent reading ofthe Bible. Some of the answers to questions proposed by members of the"School" during the course have been inserted where it seemed mostsuitable.

I take occasion here to express my deep appreciation of the courtesyshown to its visitors by the Directors of the "Catholic Summer School."Their self-sacrificing spirit has secured to the organization theearnest co-operation of many gifted men and women animated by thatrefined Catholic feeling which constitutes the highest type of a trulycultured society. Nothing could have placed the institution on afirmer basis, or could better have given it that guarantee of successto which the last session has borne witness.
