The first element of a good review is
to make 1t a real review, a general view
of the whole period which has been
studied. In this case our review COW
ers 10 lessons, from Lesson III. Of the
third quarter to Lesson III. of this quar-
ter.
The second element is that the re-
view be made attractive and inter-
esting. And it can be so conducted
both in the class and for the whole
school as to become n of the most
attractive and helpful sessions of the
year.
The period covered by this review
extends from the summer of A. D.
20 to April 4, A. D. 80; about nine
months.
The place in the life of Christ is the
last part of the great Galilean min
istry; the whole of the Perean minis
try in the country east of the Jordan;
and the last four days of Christ's pub
lie ministry, in Jerusalem and vi
cinity.

Picture Review. - Reproductions
from photographs Of great paintings,
and Of Biblical and historical places
and events, (both in color and in
black and white), are now so reason
able in price as to make them avail
able for regular use in the class. or
Sunday school. 1t is a great help
to the memory, If each class or each
scholar makes a picture book of this
part of the life of Christ. The best book
for this purpose is one made for this
object, of 14O pages, with a peculiar
but simple back, which enables one.
to fill the book with pictures without
at all distorting the covers, which are
of heavy board covered with tasty
paper. The text of Matthew's Cos
pei can be pasted in from some cheap
edition of the Gospels, or, better, writ
ten in the words of the scholar.
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
Jesus working as a carpenter during
his young manhood is happily Illus
trated by sketching a hammer, a jack
knife, saw, or other carpenters tools"
Maps and charts and small pictures
can be cut out of disused Quarterlies;
illustrations can be preserved from
magazines and newspapers; small
cards can be obtained with beautifully
arranged pressed flowers in various
natural colors, from different parts Of
Palestine which Jesus has made sa-
cred, two cents each, In packages
of rs.
Another Form of Picture Review
Mrs. Estelle M. Hurll, author Of a
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 u
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 our
Lord, placed them upon the walls and
upon easels in the class room, I'M
til she had the whole story told in
pictures. During the session no word
from her was necessary, except a few
simple explanations, while the pupils
passed in silence from one picture
to another, taking in it's beauty and
it's lesson at the same time. 1T was
the most impressive service I ever at
tended" said one who was there, and
the whole class echoed the same SEN
timent as they slowly left the church.
Travelling by S]tereoscopic Pictures.
These are, growing more popular, be.

where our Lord lived and walked and

those gained by viewing them on the
spot.
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 a selection can be made of the
pictures. This can be made most
useful for an evening meeting with
the class. 1t would be we'll for each
Sunday school to W a set of these
pictures with several microscopes.
