he Germans during the last two centuries turned their attention in
a special manner to the vast field of instruction and education;
but in no branch was there more earnest work done than in
Catechetics. In numerous cathechetical periodicals and
associations, and in a series of catechetical courses men of the
greatest talent have devoted all their learning and ability to
discuss and test the various methods, and to establish the most
fruitful process of teaching Catechism. The movement has not yet
met with perfect success; although the views of the weightiest
authors now approach unanimity and a number of principles have been
adopted as practically reliable, nevertheless it is not an easy
matter to reduce them to practice. Of the many who have attempted
to do so, only a few have met with satisfactory results. Lacking a
thorough understanding of said principles, nearly all have applied
them without sufficient care; among these are some who have the
reputation of being masters in Catechetics. The Rev. James Nist,
parish priest of Birkenhrerdt (Palatinate), easily surpasses all
his predecessors, and may be considered by far the best in
Catechetics, for he has satisfactorily fulfilled his task. He has,
indeed, mastered the true catechetical Method, without allowing it
to master him. His catechetical works, therefore, deserve to be
recommended as models. Even the older and more experienced
Catechists can find much to learn therein, and especially the rare
art of becoming little with the little, of accommodating oneself to
their mind, heart and will. Wherefore, most willingly complying
with the request of the Publisher, I have written this brief
Introductory to the English translation of his model work. I
recommend especially a thorough study of his treatment of the Sixth
Commandment, of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and of the
Sacrament of Penance (for the first confession).
