June 81. A Review Lesson.
The lessons of the last quarter all
composed of the most comforting and
important scripture of the bible. They
were taken from Johns gospel, the
strongest of the four. 1t would be
we'll if in the Sunday schools and
among individual students the lessons
were again grouped, before the change
of scenes which come with the new
quarter.
The quarter beginning April third
opened with that precious lesson in
which Jesus presents His attitude to
US, as that of shephred who watches
over and care for the tender lambs,
and the easily led away sheep. With
this lesson is the thought of the going
out to save the sheep which are
lost. and guiding them safely back.
Let US never forget this view of God
toward us.
The following lesson relates as to
the raising of Lazarus from the dead,
and with this goes the strong char
acter, of Mary and Martha The for
mer showed her love by amounting
the feet of Jesus with the costly ONT
ment. and the other. faith in God and
practical christian work. If Jesus
had the power to raise the dead man
Lazarus He was indeed divine, and
can likewise raise US up. The lesson
in which humility is taught is i'm
portant. Jesus came to minister to
others and this is the mission of His
followers.
The scripture of May 3 in which
it is told how Jesus has gone to pre-
pare US a home in heaven. and will
come to get US, is very precious. We
should so live as to prepare. our
selves to occupy that home. With
life looked at from this standpoint
ones course of conduct rs made plain.
The coming of the Holy Spirit and
its gracious mission it told in the fol-
lowing lesson and we are reminded
that our hearts should be kept pure,
fit places for the indwelling Spirit.
The three following lessons tell of
the betrayal. death. burial and res
anyone who ever knew, can forget
the scenes portrayed in these les
sons. The death of the innocent
Savior. those remarkable utterances
from the cross. and the evidences of
the departure of the body from the
grave. and the meetings and talks of
the disciples and others. must be
engraved on every heart which has
had the benefit of reading the bible
or hearing its contents told. ST.
John in one of the closing chapters
of his epistle. sums up in one verse
what he has aimed to do in what he
has written. We ask special atten
ton to the verse which reads: These
things are written. that We might be-
lieve is the Christ. the Son of God
and that believing We might have life
through His Name. This is mag
nificent presentation of the mission
pf the entire bible. 1t is indeed to
tell us of Jesus and to open the way
to us of eternal life. May the con-
sideration of this thought make a
lasting impress on the mind Sun
day school teachers should treat the
review according to the age of the
pupils. selecting those lessons o,
special thoughts which will make the
best lasting impression in the mind:
