Bible Dictionary

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. IT was not until the author of these pages had some little connection with the management of a Sabbath School, that he became convinced of the expediency, if not of the necessity, for the Univer selist denomination to possess a Bible Dictionary adapted to their understanding of the doctrines taught in the Scriptures. Dictionaries, conform ing to the faith of others, seemed not to he want ing; but were objectionable, on account of the erroneous definitions which they give to some of the most important words in the sacred text. And wherever such books are used, especially among the youth in our Sabbath Schools, they tend to exert a counteracting influence to the more correct views aimed to be instilled into their tender and susceptible minds, by the untiring assiduity of their teachers.
