The first element of a good review is
to make 1t real review, a general view
of the whole period which has been
studied. In this case our review GOV.
ers 13 lessons, from Lesson III. of the
third quarter to Lesson Ill. of this quar-
ter.
The second element Is that the re-
view be made attractive and inter
esting. And 1t can be so conducted
both In the class and for the whole
school as to become one of the most
attractive and helpful sessions of the
year.
The period covered by this review
extends from the summer OF A. d

months.

Sunday school. 1t is a great help
to the memory, if each class or each
scholar makes picture book of this
part of the life Of Christ. The best book
for this purpose is Que made for this
object. Of 140 pages, with a peculiar
but simple back, which enables one
to fill the book with pictures without

Great interest can be added to the
making of these volumes in various
ways. They are ornamented with pen
drawings. For instance, the fact of

his young manhood Is happily illus.

Maps and charts and small pictures

Another Form of Picture Review
Mrs. Estelle M. Hurll author of
capital volume on "The Life of Our
Lord in Art" advocating the greater
use of pictures in the Sunday school,
says: "A successful teacher of a
large Bible class in one of our
churches, wishing to provide some.
thing usually instructive for Re.
view Sunday, chose this plan: she
procured a large number of photo
graphs descriptive of the life of oui
Lord, placed them upon the walls and
upon easels in the class room, un.
til she had the whole story told in
pictures. During the session no word
from her was necessary, except few
simple explanations, while the pupils
passed in silence from one picture
to another, taking in its beauty and
Its lesson at the same time. 1T was
the most impressive service ever at.

the whole class echoed the same sen
timent as they slowly left the church
Travelling by Stereoscopic Pictures.
These are growing more popular, be
ing used in day schools as well as IL
Sunday schools, because the pictures
are incomparably better than those
of few years ago. They are such
life-like representations OF the places
where our Lord lived and walked and
taught, the figures and the scenes
are brought out SO clearly that 1t is
almost the same as If we were actu.
ally travelling In the Holy Land. Peo.
pie are more and more waking up tc
the likeness of the experiences that
may be gained in the stereoscope tc
those gained by viewing them on the
pot.
There are 100 pictures of Palestine,
in a leather case, with a book en-
closing a map and a description of the
tour through the Holy Land. OF
course selection can be made of the
pictures. This can be made most
useful for an evening meeting with
the class. 1t would be well for each
Sunday school to own a set of these
pictures with several stereoscopes.
