GOLDEN TEXT.-"Wlth great power I
rave the apostles witness of the resur-
'ection OF the Lord Jesus" Acts 4:SS.
A variety of forms Of review is
given here, in order that teachers
may select the method best suited to
the age and ability of their classes.
Sometimes 1t will be best to unite two
or more plans, or to take parts OF
several, or to make other adaptations
Of these suggestions.
A Progressive Revlew.-To carry
out this review. request the scholars
week in advance to go over all the
lessons of the quarter and note for
each OF them what step in advance
was taken by the church. The schol
ars will make lists Of these forward
steps" and these lists will be com.
pared in the class, taking one lesson
at time, and thus reviewing its chief
points.
A Geographical Reylew.-For this
review each scholar may make an out
line map showing the various countries
and places that were the scenes of the
quarters lessons. Let each lesson be
located with figure. When lesson
involves more than one place, repeat
the figure at each locality. Then let
the scholar make a list of the places
by names and number, and write OPP
posite each a brief statement of the
principal lesson to be learned from
the event that occurred there. For
example: "Jerusalem the first
church council, teaching the value Of
frank and brotherly discussion Of
differences"
A CharacteriLations Review.-This
review will take up the various per.
sons that have entered into our quar-.
ter's lessons. Each scholar will be
asked to write brief characterization
Of all these persons. These will be
read and compared in the class, one
character at time. They should be
quite brief, often hardly more than a
sentence. For example: John
, Mark, man Of good impulses but
weak determination; he made one
great failure, but he also made a
) great recovery"
D -
r scholars to go over the lessons at
. home and select for each OF them the
p verse that they think best embodies
+. the spirit and thought OF the lesson.
K Tell them in every case to use the
/. entire lesson, and not merely the
Z verses that are printed in the quarter.
9 lies and lesson.leavss. The discus
. sion of these different choices in the
!. class, and the fixing on a final choice,
n will constitute thoughtful review.
Christian.Life Review.-Each les
:, son OF the quarter has some strong
= teaching on the conduct OF life II
a will make an inspiring review II you
- set the scholars to framing lists, al
home, of these teachings, at least one
>, for every lesson, and then compare
, the results In the class For example
the Christian-life teaching of Lessor
:. ", Paul In Cyprus, would be eonsid
,; cred by some to be the duty OF mis-
. sionary activity; by others, the folly
OF opposing Christian work; by others
~ " the blindness Of the soul like Elymas
= physical blindness, which comes upor
~ all that set themselves in opposition
, | 10 tue truths OF the GOSpel.
b" A Problems Review-This would b.
D. good form for the review to take IL
~ adult classes. Let the teacher draw
Il mp list of problems connected will
the various lessons, perhaps one 70
" each lesson, and preferably the prob
'e lens that arose in the class discus
III sions and were not satisfactorily sci
sc tied at the time. Read the list to tn
'h class slowly, calling for volunteers L
assume the responsibility OF leadln
w the class, on the next Sunday, in tn
ne discussion OF these problems. Here /
a a suggested list: Lesson I. Should
III Christian ever associate with nor
Dy Christians! Lesson H. Why are nc
he all Gods saints delivered from thei
er prisons? Lesson III. What reall
~. converted Saul? Lesson Nv. Why ar
us not all our modern churches as Vigo
let Gus as that at Antioch? Lesson '
ur Why was the Gospel confirmed
It, miracles in Paul's day, and why is
to not confirmed in the same way Il
day? Lesson vi. What was tn
secret OF the effectiveness of Paul
preaching? Lesson VII. Would Pal
re and Barnabas have been justified
ok using the homage OF the people fC
of the greater influence of the Gospel
he Lesson VIII. The decision OF II
ne council was a compromise.
OF A Peter-Paul Review.-This form
ue review would be excellent for II
zee primary department Let all the le
,rs sons be grouped about Peter ar
,es Paul, the two leading character
ter Make 1t a review of Peters life, as Il
mt back as his call to be a disciple. tt

of life or Pauls. This picture" will
