BIBLE NATURE SERIES NUMBER TWO

By Prof. M. E. Cady; Miss Katherine B. Hale

An Elementary Science Text-Book for Grade Five

BY PROF. M. E. CADY AND MISS KATHERINE B. HALE

"Believing that the great Master Builder proceeded to build this world in an orderly and logical manner, each step revealing plan and method in His work, the order of creation has been adopted as the order of progression in the development of the lessons in each of the three books of the Bible Nature Series. The work of creation was followed by the disobedience of our first parents, which resulted in bringing death and destruction into the fair creation. But God has provided a plan to redeem man,—the plan of redemption. So, following the lessons on creation, briefly and simply are developed lessons giving the story of redemption from Adam's fall until he shall take his place again in Eden—the Eden restored."—From Preface.

How this plan of teaching elementary science from the Bible is carried out is shown by a glance at the chapter and lesson titles:
