Présentation de l'éditeur
Hence the present volume must be its own justification. I ts systematic treatment of the matter, by means of theses and proofs, may perhaps be found rather arid; it offers the great advantage of being clear and to the point. So much interest is taken in catechetical work at the present day, so many suggestions and personal opinions are offered on every side for our consid eration, that a thorough review of the fundamental principles of the art and science of catechization seems timely. ,; ,. In the very profusion of hin and helps to make our teaching of Christian Dodrne fyore efficient, we meet with truths over stated -or misdtojcted, matters of detail variously taken, facts incompletely proved or applied, and rules inconsistently urged or discordantly interpreted. .. .W hat we need at present .. .is not invention nor origi nality, nor sagacity nor even learning, at least in the first place, though all gifts of God are in a measure needed and never can be unseasonable when used religiously; but we need particularly a sound judgment, patient thought, discrimination, a comprehensive mind, an abstinence from all private fancies and caprices and personal tastes, in a word, divine wisdom.
