THE AUTHOR. 2000537 PREFACE. THE frequent use of illustrations by the Great Teacher, and by nearly all effec- tive speakers, strongly commends the illustrative method to all who teach or speak in public. Illustrations render special service in popular discourse. They condense a chain of logic in a striking simile, or crystallize a moral lesson in an impressive incident. Biblical illustrations possess marked peculiarities. They not only interest the mind of the hearer, but their sacred associations secure his respect. The Bible dignifies the address in which it is reverently quoted. Besides this, it may be ob- served that while the repetition of other illustrations weary the hearer, those from the Bible are fresh forever. Familiarity often increases their effectiveness, as when a lawyer illustrates the insufficiency of circumstantial evidence by reference to Joseph's bloody coat, and Jacob's deep distress when he exclaimed, "An evil beast hath devoured him." Joseph's garment in the hands of Potiphar's wicked, wife, and the unjust disgrace and imprisonment which followed, would not only furnish an incident deeply impressive to the ordinary juryman, but familiarity would lend force to the illustration. In this volume are collected and alphabetically arranged under suitable topics, ten thousand quotations of Biblical facts, incidents, and striking statements. These selections cover a wide field of thought, and relate to almost every variety of character and to the varied experiences of human life. They may be applied not only to the truths of religion, but also in presenting those pertaining to science, philosophy, art, and political society. In the preparation of this work reference has been had to the wants of speakers and writers in every profession ; but the needs of religious instructors have been especially considered. Here the minister may find valuable assistance in the prep- aration of his discourses, and also in selecting pulpit lessons and Bible readings. The Sunday-school teacher may use these illustrations as side-lights to illumi- nate the lessons. Bible students generally are here supplied with a vast amount of illustrative material, which without such a compilation could only be obtained at the cost of much valuable time and laborious research. iv PREFACE. The plan of the book assumes a general knowledge of Biblical history on the part of the reader ; hence the abbreviation of quotations by ellipses of unessential words, and thereby a condensation of the volume. To lessen the time employed in seeking illustrations from these pages, a catch-word printed in italics follows the title of each article. By this means the quotation will usually be suggested without reading it. Sometimes the catch-word supplies an explanatory term. In place of a general index, a system of cross-references is adopted, which will enable the reader to find without index-turning, where in this work topics of like import are illustrated, and a line of catch-words gives a key to each quotation re- ferred to. This feature greatly increases the amount of illustrative materials, and at the same time facilitates their speedy selection. The textual index will show where any particular verse is used in this volume. If this compilation shall be of practical service, in the hands of those for whom it has been prepared, the author will be satisfied with his humble endeavor. CHAELES E. LITTLE. NHWAEK, N.
