International Lesson for September "a
1S03Ouarterly Review.

Especially Arranged from Peioubets Notes1
GOLDEN TExr.-So then faith coueth
by hearing, and hearing by the word
of God.-Rom. 1917.
"a great novelist in one of his stories
tells of child that wandered away
from her home. Every night when it
grew dark a candle was set in the win
dow and left to burn there all night,
to show to the lost one if ever she
crept back repentant and desired to re-
turn that there was a welcome there
for her. that loves place was kept for
her within. The Bible seems to me
like great palace standing on some
mountain top, in the center of dark
world. 1t has thousand windows in
it. opening on all sides. and in every
one OF them bright light shines. to
tell earth's lost and weary ones. wan
dering in the gloom, of a home where
they will find a welcome if they but
come to its door."-Rev. John r. Mil
Ter, D. D. This quarters lessons form
one of the large bay windows of that
palace, with eleven outlooks from
which to see the truth in different re-
lations.
In order to have profitable and an
enjoyable review day, two things
should have previous thought and at
tention; namely. the fixing in advance
upon some distinctive plan of review,
and its announcement to the school at
the beginning of the quarter. so that
the various lessons can crystalline in
the minds of the scholars and teach
ers in accordance with the plan pro-
posed. The conviction just stated has
long been a fixed one with me: and l
recently happened upon some words
by Mr.. NJ. c. Hazard. which so happily
emphasize what l have just said about
the reason for selecting and announc-
ing the plan of review at the begin
ming OF the quarter, that l take pleas
ure in repeating his words. He says:
A good quarterly review is like an
applet takes three months to
ripen." Again: If one takes care
of his pennies. we are told the dollars
will take care of themselves: and so.
too, if the weekly review is properly
taken care of. the quarterly review
will manage itself."-R. T. Bonsall. in
S. S. Times

REVIEW By THE AID OF MAP.
In Tom Brown at Oxford. the best
scholar is represented as studying his
Greek history by means of map and
pins with large heads made of differ
emily colored sealing wax. The red
headed pin represented one army, the
black another. And as the text de-
scribed the movements of the armies,
the pins were moved to the places
designated on the map. During the
late war several of us ministers did
the same thing with the various arm
les. When news came Of any change
we marked it with the pins. This
plan gives great vividness to the
history and assists the memory. Sup
pose now that we have large map on
the wall. Prepare a pin with a
large sealing-wax head for Paul,
and smaller ones of different colors for
the other missionaries. Take the ini- !
tial letters of the principal places
printed on cardboard, so as to be seen |
across the room, and with pin fasten |
them in their proper places on the map
as fast as the journey is made. Some
scholar or class can tell where the next /
is to be made, and all the |
events or incidents clustering around |
each place can be noted or described.
Pins with flyers of other colors may
designate the places to which Epistles
we're written. and still others the
places from which they were written.
