Excerpt from Moral and Religious Tales for the Young of the Hebrew FaithDuring the week, I took an interest in the studies and gambols of my young friends; and religious instruction occupied a large portion of our Sabbath meetings. After the morning service, we read the Bible and Sacred History, admiring the many virtues and deploring the numerous misfortunes therein recorded.On whatever day we consulted these sacred writings, a. New lesson was produced for my young auditory. Our Sacred Books and our Ancient History are like stones with diamond-cut surfaces; from whichever side we look at them, a long stream of light shines forth, whose rays are united in brilliant cones, reflecting all the colours of the rainbow.Familiar conversations followed our readings. We quitted the past to occupy ourselves with the present; we passed from heavenly subjects to what was passing on earth; we abandoned dogmas, and spoke of morals; and after discussing the virtues of the religious Israelite.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
