The author or compiler of this book, setting forth in intensely har monious vision "Jesus, the Word of God," as presented in the four Gospel- histories, is the ingenious, versatile, and studious Professor of Commercial Law, Commercial Arithmetic, Phonography, Tj^pewriting and Book-keep ing- in the High School of St. Joseph, Missouri. He is also the much aij- preciated teacher of a large class of youth in tlie Sundaj^-school of the First Methodist Kpiscopal Church, and is the third vice-president of the Ratcliff Epworth Leag-ue, enthusiastically directing the j'Oung people in their " literary departinent." It was while engaged in the preparation of the lessons for his Sunday- school class, that, as by a deeply' felt sense of personal need, and prompted by original impiilne to such Unes of investigation, he began com paring each of the four Gospel narratives with those of the other three. Not informedlv- aware was he that the scholarly- Westcott in his " Intro duction to the Stud.\' of the Gospels " had said, " Sectaries divided the Gospels as being separatelj- complete ; the Church united them, as con stituents of a harmonious whole." Not consciously possessed of the knowledge was he that Irena'us, Bishop of Lyons in the end of the second centurj', and who in his ^outh was personal!}' actjuainted with Pol3'carp, the disciple of John, had written, ("The Creator-Word, who sits upon the Cherubim, when manifested tu men, gave us the Gospel in a /otJ)--/o/(^ form; while it i.s held together hy one Spirit:!' and then had gone on to prove by various analogies, that the Gospels could not have been more nor fewer than four, the number of the faces of the Cherubim, which were " images of the life and vvork of tin' Son of Ood." Not historically informed percliance was he that Clement of Alexandria, one of the most prolific and scholarly writers of the infant Church, and who wrote in the reign of the Kmperor Severus, A. D. 193-211, relates it as a current tradition of his time, that "St. John, when he found in the Writings of the other Kvangelists, the bodily history of the Lord, composed a Spiritual Gospel." But, prompted to such study, and led on in such research as might enable .him to command the priceless fruitagfe of the latest and ripest Christian-scholarsfiip for the setting forth of the words and works of Jesus, he has here in this volume, with tireless painstaking- and marvel ous skill, gathered and presented such a Harmonj' of the Gospels, and in such chronological order, as combine for our advantage all the excel lencies of Andrews, Broadus, Canon Farrar, Gardiner, Robinson and Tischendorf. I do not know who said it ; but it is beautifully said, and as blessedly true: "We study therefore the Lawin the Gospels; the Gospels inthe Epistles ; and all i-n Christ."

And they were both righteous be fore God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. And they had no child, because that Elisabeth was barren, and they both were noiv well stricken in years. Now it came to pass, while he executed the priest's office before God in the order of his course, according to the custom of the priest's THE GO.-PEL -VCKIKDI.NG TO S. JOH^f.

And the whole multitude of the people were praying without at the hour of incense. 11 Aud there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing .on the right side of the altar of in- 12 cense. And Zacharias was troubled when he saw hitn, and fear fell 13 upon him. But the an gel said unto him. Fear not, Zacharias: because thy supplication is heard, and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his 14 name John. And thou shalt have joy and glad ness; and raany shall re- 15 joice at his birth. For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and he shall drink no wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb. 16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn unto the Lord their God. 17 And he shall go before his face in the spirit and power of Elijah, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to walk in the wisdom of the just; to make ready for the Lord a people prepared 18 for him. And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well 19 stricken in years. And the angel answering said unto him, I am Gabriel, that stand in the pres ence of God; and I was sent to speak unto thee, and to bring thee these 20 good tidings. And be hold, thou shalt be silent and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall come to pass, because thou believedst not my words, which shall be fulfllled in their 20 PROBABLE TIME.

And the people were waiting for Zach arias, and they marvelled while he tarried in the 22 temple. And when he came out, he could not speak unto them: and they perceived that he had seen, a vision in the , temple; and he contin ued making signs unto them, and remained 23 4 dumb. And it came to pass, when the days of his ministration were fulfllled, he departed unto his house. 24 And after these days Elisabeth his wife con ceived; and she hid her self flve months, saying, 25 Thus hath the Lord done uuto me in the days wherein he looked upon vie, to take away my re- ]>roach among men. 26 5 Now in the sixth monih the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named 27 Nazareth, to a virgin be trothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the the house of David; and the virgin's name was 28 Mary. And he came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly fa voured, the Lord is with 29 thee. But she was greatly troubled at the saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this might be. 30 And the angel said unto her. Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour 31 with God. And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt 32 call his name Jbsis.

And the angel departed from her. 39 6 And Mary arose in these days and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of 40 Judah ; and entered into the house of Zacharias and saluted Elisabett. 4 1 And It came to pass, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb ; and Elisabeth was filled 42 with the Holy Ghost; and she lilted up her voice with a loud cry, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb. 43 And whence is this to rae, that the mother of my Lord should come 44 unlo me? For behold, when the voice of thy sal utation came into mine eais, the babe leaped in 45 my womb for joy. And blessed is she that be lieved; for there shall be a fulfilment of the things which have been spoken to her from the Lord. 46 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, 47 And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. 48 For he hath looked npon the low estate ol Ills handmaiden : Fur behold, from hence forth all generations shall call me blessed. 24 JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD.

Who art thou? 20 And he confessed, and denied not; and he con fessed, I am not the 21 Christ. And they asked him. What then? Art thou Elijah? And he saith, I am not. Art thou the prophet? And he 22 answered, No. They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What say- 23 est thou of thyself? He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilder ness. Make straight the way of the Lord, as said 24 Isaiah the prophet. And they had been sent from 25 the Pharisees. And they asked him, and said unto him. Why then baptizest thou, if thou art not the Christ, neither Elijah, neither the prophet? 26 John answered them, say ing, I baptize with water : in the midst of you stand eth one whom ye know 27 not, even he that cometh after me, the latchet- of whose shoe I am not 28 worthy to unloose. These things were done in Beth any beyond Jordan, where John was baptiz ing. 29 33 On the morrow he seeth Jesus coming nnto him, and saith.

Upon whomsoever thou shalt see tlie Spirit descending, and abiding upon bim, the same is he that baptizeth with the 34 Holy Spirit. And I have seen, and have borne witness that this is the Son of God. 35 34 Again on the mor row John was standing, and two of his disciples; 36 and he looked upon Jesus as he walked, and saith. Behold, the Lamb of 37 God ! And the two dis ciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus. 38 And Jesus turned, and beheld them following, and saith unto them, What seek ye? And they said unto him. Rabbi (which is to say, being in terpreted, Master), where 39 abidest thou? He saith unto them, Come, and ye shall see. They came therefore and saw where he abode ; and they abode with him that day : it was about the tenth hour. 40 One of the two ihat heard John speak, and followed him, was An drew, Simon Peter's 41 brother.

And Na thanael said unto him. Can any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him. Come 47 and see. Jesus saw Na thanael coming to him, and saith of him. Behold, an Israelite Indeed, In whom Is no guile! 48 Nathanael saith unto him. Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answer ed and said unto him. Before Philip called thee, when thou wast under the flg tree, I saw thee. 49 Nathanael answered him. Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art King 50 of Israel. Jesus an swered and said unto him. Because I said unto thee, I saw thee underneath the flg tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these. 51 And he saith unto him. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Ye shall see the heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son ot man. Chapter 2. 36 And the third day there was a marriage iu Cana of Galilee ; and the mother of Jesus was there: and Jesus also was bidden, and his dis ciples, to the marriage. And when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him. They have no wine. And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, What soever he saith unto you, do it. Now there were six waterpots of stone set there after the Jews' manner of purifying, containing two or three flrkins apiece.

And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants which had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the brlde- 10 groom, and saith unto him. Every man setteth on first the good wine; and when men have drunk freely, then that which is worse: thou hast kept the good wine 11 until now. This begin ning of his signs did Jesus In Cana of Galilee, and nianif ested his glory ; and his disciples believed on him. 12 37 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his dis ciples: and there they abode not many days. 13 38 And the passover of the Jews was at hand, and Jesus went up to 14 Jerusalem. And he found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers 15 of money sitting : and he made a scourge of cords, and cast all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen ; and he poured out the changers' money, and overthrew 16 their tables ; and to them that sold the do ves he said. Take these things hence ; make not my Father's house a house of mer- 17 chandise. His disciples remembered that It was written, The zeal of thine house shall eat me 18 up. 39 The Jews therefore answered and said unto him.

Destroy this tem ple, and in three days I 20 will raise it up. The Jews theiefore said. Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou raise it up 21 in three days? But he spake of the temple of 22 his body. When there fore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he spake this; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Je sus had said. 23 40 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the pass- over, during the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his 24 sigQS which he did. But Jesus did not trust him self unto them, for that 25 he knew all men, and because he needed not that anyone should bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man. Chapter 3. 41 Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came unto him by night, and said to him. Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these signs that thou doest, except God be with him. Jesus an swered and said unto him. Verily, verily, I say unto thee. Except a man be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered. Verily, verily, I say unto thee. Except a man be born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That 62 JESUS, THE WORD OF GOD. PROBABLE OUTLINE. MATTHEW.

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and bear witness of that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. 12 If I told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, If I tell you heavenly things? 13 And no man hath as cended into heaven, but he that descended out of heaven, even the Son of mau, which is in heaven. 14 42 And as Moses lifted up the serpent In the wilderness, tven so must the Son of man be lifted 15 up: that whosoever be lieveth may in him have eternal life. 16 43 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotton Son, that whosoever believeth on him should not per ish, but have eternal 17 life.

Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jordan, to whom thou hast borne witness,behoId, the same baptizeth, and all men 27 come to him.

And Herodias set herself against him, and desired to kill him; and 20 she could not; for Herod feared John, knowing that he was a righteous man and a holy, and kept him safe.
