A good way in which to present a
review Of the lessons for the first
quarter of the year 1912 would be to
select the best person possible to act
as leader and then to have either
twelve classes, or that many selected
groups individuals may be utilized)
and have each present the main
thought of each of the twelve lessons.
Take the first lesson-let some ell
derly man speak for the character of
Zacharias the priest-let him tell OF
the faithful discharge of his temple
duties and while thus occupied of
meeting the angel Gabriel with his
startling message which was a chal-
lenge to Zacharias' faith. Then for
the second lesson let some mother tell
of the incidents of the birth Of John
the Baptist, of the rejoicing of friends
and neighbors and the hymn OF Zach
arias who received his speech as soon
as he had testified to Gods will and
showed his belief.
AS for lesson three, let some child
briefly state the facts only, or the
birth of Jesus, i. e, read Luke 2:8-15,
and this to be followed by some music
suggestive of the angelic hosts.
In lesson four we revert to the
temple service again at the dedication
of Jesus. 1t would be very appropri'
ate to have the superintendent OF the
Cradle Roll at this juneture TO go
through the service of receiving a
baby for the Grade Roll such as is fire.

the main fact of the lesson.
Now let three men enter the room,
dressed in costume II desired, and re-
cite either the necessary scripture
verses or some poetry that will con-
vey to all the idea of the visit of the
wise men to Jerusalem in search Of
the child Jesus and that they found
him not in Herod's palace, but in low
" Bethlehem and there presented
their gifts and worshiped him
For the sixth lesson, let a twelve
year-oid boy having a goo presence

2:41-59.
Avoid Involved Questions.
Let the pastor of the chErch or some
other clergyman tell eff the prophecy
of Isaiah and of Johns fulfilling the
same as he preached out in the coun-
try warning the people to avoid tho
wrath of God and to show by their
righteous living the fruit of the lives
that had repented Of their evil ways.
Emphasize, however, that Johns great
est work (anG ours as welD was to
point men 10 Jesus the Lamb of the
world.
In a review such as we are now con-
Quoting we must avoid the involved
questions and only present the great
facts of the baptism of Jesus the wit
ness of John, the presence of the
Holy Spirit and Gods audible approval
of those silent years in Nazareth. This
is the eighth lesson.
The ninth lesson has to do with the
call of the first disciples. For this
