 The lessons for the past quarter be
 gin with the deliverance of the child
 Moses and end with the apostasy of
 the golden calf and cover a period
 of approximately 80 years In almost
 every lesson there is something pro-
 phetic or typical of Christ, but two
 things may be mentioned with special emphasis, viz. Che passover, lesson VI, see Cor 5:7, and the bread from heaven lesson VIII, see Matt. 26:26, l Cor. 11:23, 24.
 For the younger classes most fas- cinating story can be told when pre- senting this review. Describe Miriam watching the ark, Pharaoh's daughter espying the ark, sending the babe to its mother and later adopting 1t as her son. Tell of the day when Moses made his great choice, of the time he thought he could free his brethren, but failed, not yet having the neces- sary power from God. Then the 40 years as shepherd (John 10:14), the revelation at Horeb, the conflict at Pharaoh's court. the passover, and the flight by night, the crossing of the Red sea, the gift of the quails and the mama and that dramatic scene of the giving of the Jaw. Enough is here presented to more than occupy the lesson period
 Four Episodes.
 For the older classes. The lessons of this quarter seem to group them selves into four general episodes: (D Moses. his salvation, education, flight and call; (2) Pharaoh, his pride, humiliation and the passover; (3) the flight, at the Red sea. being fed in the wilderness, and (4) the law, Gods holiness, his commandments and the great apostasy.
 The following brief review is sug- gested. Have one class member tell of the steps leading up to the tsraelit- isk slavery in Egypt Let another pu pill present either orally or written, an account of the life of Moses up to the time of his appearing before Pha- raoh with his apparently audacious Let my people go." Let that l student not only recite the historical | facts but also show Gods dealing | with this son of an obscure slave. He | might illustrate by alluding to others | whom God has raised up to do ex | ploits" in his dealings with men, Dan Iel 11:32. This will cover four les | sons. Another pupil should then pre- conflict which God. through | his representative Moses, worked out | with Pharaoh. This whole episode | was treated as lesson V, the text be- Ing Ps. 105 :23-36, and in lesson VI | the record of the passover This lat | ter, the great feast of the Jews and | Christ who Is our passover ought to l be carefully and yet emphatically pre- sented. Let us not neglect to present | the Bible teaching on this, one of the | greatest truths ever revealed to man by gracious. loving. heavenly father, Heb. 9:22.
 Member as Spokesman.
 The third episode can be presented | if in class by student, or if the re- view is general one by the whole school. Let some particular class se- lect one of It's members as spokesman. This embraces lessons VII and VIII and Is a gracious revelation of Gods care and also his abundant supply for our every need. IT. this section is another and a most beauri- full suggestion of that living bread" so freely provided for all who will accept
 Coming now to the last great cpl sode of this quarter. the events in con nection with the giving of the law. we embrace lessons K, X, XI and XII. Before God gave them the various he sought to empha- size his majesty and his holiness by the smoking mountain, etc. We then have two lessons on the decalogue, a most fitting arrangement inasmuch as the first part deals with the God-side of life-man's relation to his creator -and the second part has to do with mans relations to his brother man. The last lesson Is a terrible illustra- ton of this dual fact. The utter ina bility of the natural heart to fulfill it's high sounding promises. it's exceeding sfnfulness and the necessity of right relations with him who alone can keep tant lesson of the setting up of the golden calf
 The two reading lessons give us the true light of the divine patience and the divine persistence.
