Matthew i. 21. And thou shall call his name Jesus.

Did it ever seem to you a curious thing that the Catechism begins by / asking the child its name? 'What is your name? ' 'Who gave you this / name? ' I think that if you were not all of you accustomed to the / Church Catechism from your childhood, that would seem a strange way / of beginning to teach a child about religion.
