II. INDEX TO READINGS FROM THE BIBLE.

[The following selections are made with reference to their adaptation
to public reading. We do not claim that this list covers the whole ground,
or includes all the choice readings from the Scriptures, but that the selec-
tion and classification have been carefully made. In many cases, marked
differences of sentiment occur in the same chapter; so that it is not always
easy to decide just where, in our order, a given chapter should be placed;
but it is believed that, on the whole, the selections are assigned to those
places which best fit their general character. -The brief titles we give to
the chapters are intended merely to announce the subject in as few words as
possible. The numerals on the right hand of the page refer to the charac-
teristic headings under which the matter of the volume is distributed, as
set forth in the Table of Contents.]
