NOTES AND COMMENTS.

chapter of First Corinthians. 1t forms
perhaps as appropriate a text as
could be found upon which to base
a review lesson.
There are three lines along which
. review study, in the present case,
could be conducted. One might be
strictly "A quarterly review. a second
might be a summing up of the teach
ings of the lessons beginning with
January j Of the present year. The
third, and very profitably, might be a
brief summary of the principles OF
the kingdom of Heaven as set forth
in the teachings of Jesus and exem-
plified in His life and a statement Of
the main purpose Of the life and
death Of Jesus.
As a quarterly review the lesson
would be confined to the resurrec-
ton and subsequent appearances Of
Jesus. Eleven Of these appearances
are recorded and have been studied
in these lessons. These appearances
reached over a period of 40 days. be-

There are two other appearances re-
corded in the New Testament. One
was TO Paul Tor Saul on the way to
Damascus. the other was TO John in
the Apocalypse. But both of these
were subsequent 10 Jesus ascension.
The main lessons to be enforced from
this study are:
!. The resurrection OF Jesus (Which
event Is more conclusively proved by COM
petenf evidence than Is any other event
In all ancient history Is the GROWING
proof Of His divine nature.
2 The resurrection Of Jesus Is proof Of
a life after death.
3 Into each faithful life may come the
Holy Spirit which shall guide disciples Of
Jesus into all truth" aid them In ovsrcom-
Ing weakness and temptation, ard continue
In the hearts OF men the work that Jesus
began" to DO when on earth.
Another method Of taking up the
review would extend back another
quarter and include hat part of the
life Of Christ just prior to the cruci-
fxion and also the death and burial
OF Jesus. This plan would make pos
sible the drawing Of q very effective
and instructive contrast. Picture in
the first place the apparent triumph
OF the foes Of Christianity, Jesus
crucifed, the disciples scattered. His
whole work seemingly brought to
naught. Now picture the risen
Saviour, with His disciples together
again with stronger hope, more en-
during courage, ministers Of faith
daring all in spreading the glad It'd
ings of salvation among the nations
of the earth. Truly
Truth crushed 10 earth shall rise again:
Tn eternal years OF God are hers;
But Error. wounded. writhes In pain,
And dies among his worshlpers. !
II will be remembered that we have
been studying the life Of Jesus for
the past is months. We are now
about TO take up series OF lessons
in the Old Testament. Before doing
this. however. it would be of immense
advantage TO take n swift bird's-eye
