[Transcriber's notes]

Thanks to Jim and Carol Presher of Timeless Antiques in Valley Alabama for providing access to the original texts.
This is the complete text of all six volumes of the set to permit linking among the volumes. "HOW TO USE THE BIBLE STORY" (the first volume), organizes the use and access of the other five volumes. The general index to all the volumes is at the end of the last volume.

These links connect to the beginning of each volume:
[HOW TO USE THE BIBLE STORY]
[VOLUME ONE: THE GOLDEN BOOK]
[VOLUME TWO: HERO TALES]
[VOLUME THREE: TALES OF OLD JUDAEA]
[VOLUME FOUR: LIFE OF JESUS]
[VOLUME FIVE: SONGS OF THE AGES ]
[GENERAL INDEX TO ALL VOLUMES]

Page numbers in this book are indicated by numbers enclosed in curly braces, e.g. {99}. They have been located where page breaks occurred in the original book.

Quotation marks are often unbalanced. This transcription copies the original text.

Colons (:) are frequently used instead of commas or semicolons.

Page number references using a variety of abbreviations have been standardized for clarity.
