Transcriber's Notes: Variations in spelling and hyphenation have been left as in the original. Words in italics in the original are surrounded by _underscores_. Words in a Gothic font in the original are surrounded by =equal signs=. In the original, the words spoken by Jesus are in a larger font--in this text, the words of Jesus are indented from the margins. A few typographical errors have been corrected. A complete list follows the text.

The text mentions a "geographical and historical chart" that was intended to accompany this book. It is not a part of this text and is not included here.
