PROLOGUE.

Tho quarters studies began with
events that occurred in February, =.
d, -. and ended with events of Octo-
Der 20. An attempt 10 compress the
twelve lesson into one would seem at
first thought TO be doing violence to
this wonderful period in the life Of
our Lord which has passed before us
in very brief outline and might rather
be expanded. And yet for purposes
of review we may with much profit
make some new groupings and restate
the more salient points. Three of the
lessons show Jesus in relation to 9TH
ers; four display His miraculous
power: five exhibit Him. Thus three
fold progressive view may be had.

be of that high standard that nothing
shall cause him to swerye from his path
Of duty. That the present incumbent,
Mr.. Fennell, comes up to the full mea-
sure of the requirements of the position
