a. Verse. 22- What remarkable
event had Immediately preceded this
lesson?
Cd Why did Jesus want to scatter
the multitude? (See John vi:15.)
CD Why did he, probably, send the
disciples away even before he dis
missed the multitude?
a. If the rulers of the Jews, and
not the common people only, had want
ed to crown Jesus king, would he have
resisted them? Why or why not?
60 Verse 23-Why did Jesus need
solitude and private prayer?
CO. How much solitude, and pri-
vate prayer, are essential to one who
would have the spirit and do the work
of Jesus?
a. Verse 24-Why does God per-
nit his children to be so tossed with
waves" when they are on the voyage
he has sent them?
(8) Which are more blessed, and
why, those Christians that have a
stormy voyage and contrary winds
through life, or those that have fair
weather and favorable winds? (This
question may have to be answered in
writing by members of the cIub.)
co. Verse 25-Why did Jesus leave
them in their distress so long? and
why does God often permit His chill
dren to be buffeted with wind and
waves untsI it seems there is no hope
for the ship?
10.) Verse 26-The disciples saw
Jesus coming at last, but why is that
any ground for hope that God will,
when we are in trouble, come to our
rescue in time to prevent any real
disaster?

besides this, of being afraid of the
very messenger, or circumstance, that
God is sending to save us from our
troubles?
Q2) Verse When, if ever, is
there need for true disciple to be
afraid of anything?
OBJ Give a reasoned answer to the
following. Is God literally in every
circumstance, and does He speak with
words of cheer in every event, wheth-
er loss or gain, or pain or pleasure, to
the disciple who has spiritual facul-
ties to see and hear God?
14) Verses 2S-31-Was it wise or
profitable for Peter to have made this
daring venture, seeing his faith failed
him?
(15) When God invites us, or bids
us, do anything no matter how haz-
ardous, should we do it, even if our
hearts tremble at the anticipated re-
suit, or should we get the full assur-
ance of faith first?
(16.) Is it wise, or otherwise, and
why, for US to attempt every thing that
Jesus did?
(17.) What are the limitations to
our duty and privilege, in duplicating
the life of Jesus?

failure, if we attempt to do all God
commands us?

sink in that day with Jesus on board,
and what does your answer suggest,
as to the safety of all to-day who take
| Jesus for their captain?
(20) If they worshipped the man
Jesus in the same way as God should
| be worshipped, what comment have
| you on their act?
CID Verses 34-36-How much ben
eft would it be to-day, if all the peo-
! pie of this community would bring
their sick ones to Jesus?
