THE SUNDAY SCHOOL



GOLDEN TExr-Looking unto Jesus the
suthor and nnishcr Of our faith Heb. i..2
l. General Revicw.-As we come TO
great profit as well as interest in study
ing the life Of Christ rs whole. Let
As gaze at the picture of the dear Lord
As He walked about Palestine working
and teaching. Let us see His whole life
from His coming from the Father In
Heaven, and the manger cradle, to the
cross. the resurrection, and the return
70 Heaven. Let us see His portrait, the
marvellous picture Of His perfect char
scter, as revealed in the Gospels.
We have been studying the parts;
now we will study II as whole We
have been. as it were, looking at par
ticuar stars through q telescope, re-
vealing brightness and tints that no
unaidcd eye can perceive; now we will
look at the whole sky with all it,
beautiful constcllatio ms showing the
glory Of God The individual events
are like words wri item on the sky in
letters SO large that we can see but
word at time. though full Of meaning
and blessing.
Now we will read the sentences
which the words form and see deeper
meanings and fuller blessing.
The facts on this marginal chart
should be learned by heart. They con
be put on the blackboard and repeated
by the whole school. The facts can be
filled in from the fuller chart on pages
and z.
Special emphais may be laid cd the
last scenes, since these come in thu past
quarters study. In order to aid In
making this portion clear. the follow
| ing chart is given Of the last days.
| III. Schoolroom Travels.-One OF the
most helpful reviews is by means
Of an outline map drawn upon the
blackboard. Or common map may
be used. Then. like the Greek scholar
in Tom Brown at Oxford, who traced
on q map by means Of colored pins the
famous retreat of the ten thousand
under Xenophon, we may trace in tho
same way the journeys of Jesus from
Bethlehem to Calvary. At each place
we may call for brief description Of
the town, and for tho chief events
which cluster around it. Or we may
take the places more at random, recall
ing all we can about the place, and
what Jesus did or taught there, and to
what portion of His life they belong.
On the black board colored chalk may
mark the initials Of these events
III. Word Picture Review.-Nearly
oil the leading incidents in the life OF
Christ can be reviewed in this way:
The teacher drawing word-picture OF
the different events, and the scholars
guessing what is described, and locat-
ing it both in time and place. Or to
each scholar may be assigned some In
cident to be described, which the others
guess. Some of these are:
l. Christ riding, multitudes shouting,
cast. down garments and palm
br hes, children joining in the en-
, til siasm.
Q. A supper scene. the gathering,
washing the feet, the discourse.
g. A garden. two companies Of men.
one man alone praying.
T. A court room, a trial, a judge, &C
cusers, denial.
8. The crucifixion scene, the soldiers,
, the hooking crowd, the weeping women.
g. The morning at the tomb.
, T. The ascension, the parting words,
. the gazing disciples, the comforting
angels.
Nv. Object Lesson Rcview.-A large
number Of natural objects are con-
nected with the life and teachings ol
, Jesus. These may be written on slips
of paper, and distributed to different
, members OF the class, who are to 70
. member where they belong in Christ'a
life. the story connected with them,
/ and the instruction to be drawn from
, them. Or it may be a general exercise,
and the name of the object be written
upon the black board. or. when possible
