 READING LESSON-II Cor. 6:l4-A. GOLDEN TExT-Far be 1t from me 10 glory. save in the cross os our Lord Jesus Christ-Gal 6:H R. V. With the exception of the temper ance lesson, all the lessons of the quar- ter have to do with the death ana res urrection of our Lord. In the first quarter we considered Jesus as the great Teacher; in the second, ne IS presented chiefly as the seeking Savior: in the third, we observed hin as he acted in judgment upon Israel and sin; in this last, he Is seen in ms supreme office as Savior and king. The king of love, he Is also the worlds Savior. Deny him his kingship, refuse to become a subject of that Kingdom of which he is the head and we bring upon ourselves the condemnation Of a righteous judgment This past quar- ter particularly reveals him in that final ministry which resulted in the initiation of the new enterprise of pro claiming his gospel, to the end that his kingdom shall be established. We shall consider the lessons under four headings:
 Story of Love.
 I. Those of Preparation for Hts Pas- sion. These embrace the first three lessons. CD In the first, we have the beautiful story of the love which anointed him for burial, which he ac- cepted and immortalized. This was not because of the greatness of the act, but because of the appreciation Of himself and of his words. (2) Here we observe him presiding over and in stituting that lasting memorial, the symbolic feast, wherein the old passes away and the new dispensation Is ushered in. (3) In the third lesson we view with awe the agony of the gar den wherein he dedicated himself to the coming suffering, Mot as l will, but as thou wilt'-absolute surrender and delight in the Fathers will.
 II. Tlross<That Preceded His Pas sion. These next five lessons lead us
  through a darkness which is yet un- fathomable and which ended in the total darkness of Calvary. (4) In this lesson Judas is presented, the incarna- tion of evil, and the agent of Satan, who betrayed his Lord and Friend" by kiss. Here we see the utter ruin of a soul which chose private ambition instead of fellowship with Jesus. (5) This is a presentation of the greatest and most appalling travesty of justice the world has ever seen. Humanity never descended to any lower depths, yet he is serene, calm, dignified and strong (6) The Temperance Lesson. CD This lesson considers the heart breaking rashness of Peter. ~(S) This is the story of the ignoble failure of 8 weak, vacillating, time-server.
 Story of the Gross.
 III. His Passion. (9) This brings us to the story of the cross itself. as considered in this sequence of lessons. Before that awe-inspiring, wonder creating event we stand with barred head. Here sin was unmasked and did its utmost. Her also we behold grace unveiled and active.
 w. The Post-Passion Lessons. We are now in new atmosphere and light, new glory is to be seen. (10) In this lesson we behold the empty tomb, for He could not be holden of death" We share with them the glori- ous. the joyful consciousness that he whom we have just seen die in tg- nominy and shame and suffering is now alive and lever liveth" to be our advocate and ever-present friend. This is a glorious fact, that of the literal, bodily resurrection of Christ from among the dead. Hallelujah! CID In lesson eleven this same thought Is again emphasized and with the sugges- ton of it's accompanying obligation, in that i've are witnesses of these | things"
 In "Tarbell's Teachers Guide" is a good suggestion for review Sunday, viz, that series of elliptical phrases be written upon a board or chart, that will fix the chief idea or serve to re- call the lessons. as follows:
 CD Let her alone . (2) For ye have the poor (3) Where soever this gospel shall be preached (D Verify say unto you, One (5) For the Son of Man | goeth (6) This is nay blood CD Take ye (8) My soul is (9) Father, all things Q0 Watch and GID My God, my (12) Why seek ye G3) Ye shall be my . These phrases may be written upon cards or slips of paper and distributed to classes or individuals, the entire sentence to be recited when called for
 It would also be we'll to make men, tion of the two years work in the Synoptic Gospels Define what the gospel is q Cor. 15:1-4), what the word synoptic means, and wherein these Gospels differ from the Fourth l Gospel
