Of the kind Of work done during the
past three months. Some condemn the
Bible school and compare ito work
with that Of the day school. not taking
into consideration the differences Of

countless other features.
One method OF review 10 to call out
the lessons, twelve In number. and
make some comment upon each one
or else have some person report upon
the subject matter. the golden text.
etc. This method may be preceded by
having some one tell Of that period In
the life Of Christ from which these
lessons are taken; another tell OF
some events in contemporaneous his.
tory and the places Jesus visited dur.
ing this time. After such statements
II would be wise to have brief state.
ment made as to the subject matter of
the lessons for the entire quarter. e.
g.. how many have TO do with mira.

OF the principal persons whom Jesus
met. II so happens that during this
quarter there Ia no closely connected
thread that runs throughout the les.

Lesson nine deals with the death

What Lessons Teach.

When II comes 10 selecting the main
truths taught In each OF the lessons
81 course there will be a wide variety
Of opinions We may therefore be
pardoned II our suggestions may not
agree with those suggested by others.
Beginning with lesson one II seems
as though the Master IL seeking TO
show us that all manner OF sin can
be forgiven except that sin which as
cribes TO the devil the work OF the
Son OF God. This full and complete re-
lection OF Chris, and his work OF re-
domption Is what is known as the un.
pardonablc sin.

BIT OF difference to them who was elected.
''The President hasn't single thing TO
say about suffrage" they asserted cheer
fully. NOR the Governor, either. It's only
the members of the Assembly that can
make any difference 10 us. and we don't
care what their party Is, so long as they
vote for US"
There was large crowd al the state"
at No. 100 Madison avenue, attracted by
the promise OF real newspaper bulletins
from The Tribune. All the other suf-
frage headquarters In the city closed their
doors and went to Join the States"
party Early in the evening, when the
not yet certain who was ahead, there was
huge excitement, and the women crowded
about the big blackboard, where, under
the words by special service from The
New-York Tribune Miss Harriet May
Mills was writing down the. reports.
A few Wilson enthusiasts. forgetting
that suffragists are non-partisan. were
reproved by the leaders for indulging in
handclapping. and they quickly subsidized.
After that the company composed itself
to listen to suffrage prophecies and
"whistlings to keep their courage up"
They didn't hear a word from the states
where suffrage amendments were being
voted upon.
Never mind" chirped DIT. Anna How
ard Shaw, even If we lose all six Of
Them, by tomorrow night new cam
paigns will be started"
Nothing can stop the suffrage move
ment," continued Mrs. Ida Hustled Har-
per- when one Of the oldest and great
est papers in New York comes out for
It, as The Tribune has. IT is significant
of the general attitude of the country"
Then Or. Shaw moved a vote of thanks
10 The Tribune for its election cour-
tesies, which was carried unanimously.
