EXCELLENCE OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION:

FOR THE USE OF FAMILIES AND SCHOOLS

BY

NOAH WEBSTER, LL.D.

THE general object of this little book is to show the excellence of the Christian religion, and of course, to prove the inestimable value of the book in which this religion is revealed and inculcated. The writer has aimed to present to the reader the evidence of purpose or design in the works of creation; thus proving the wisdom and benevolence of the creator, no less than his unlimited power. So in the moral system, the adaptation of the laws of God to the best interests of men, both in temporal and spiritual things, is clear evidence of his wisdom and benevolence; and both in the physical and moral systems, the adaptation of means to ends affords indisputable proof of intelligence in the author.
