Review Methods.
One method OF review may take rs
keynote from the Golden Text OF tho.
Quarter: THE Lord Is thy keeper"
Every lesson OF the quarter illustrates
this great truth: Lesson l. Kept-in
great peril (Sennaoherlbs inva.
slon) Lesson H. Kept-in the hour
Of death. (Hezekiahs prayer) Les
SON III. Kept-by Chrlsts sacrifice.

a palace. (Zedekiah and the captiy-
ity) Lesson XI. Kept-by the water
Of life (Ezekiels vision.) Lesson

ton. (Daniel)
Another review may be carried out
by the aid OF cards on which the
names OF the characters are written.
one name for each card. One cOlored
card may be used for the names Of
the Hebrew kings. another for the
prophets and a third for the names OF
other persons. Then let the scholars
each draw a card and tell all he can
about the characters whose names he
has drawn. For convenience OF tho
teacher we give below the names OF
the kings Of judah. the prophets mem
toned and others:
Hebrew Kings -IIezekiah, Manas-
sch, Anon. Josiah Johoahaz. Jehoi-
akin, Jehoiachin. Zedehsh.
Prophets-Isaiah, jeremiah Eze-
klel. Daniel.
rs-sennacherib The Rab-
shaken, Hilkiah. Huldah. Shaphan,
Baruch, Nebuchadnezzar.
Still another method Of review may
be found in the preparing Of special
papers on the four major prophets
who figure 20 prominently In the les
sons OF the quarter
