 There are a variety of methods to be followed in reviewing the work of the past six months and to give va riety. Teachers of classes, or super intendents of schools, may select one or combine several, as their judgment dictates. Of course, the easiest way Is to procure a good speaker who is familiar with the Gospel of John and the lessons of the past quarter, and let him bring out in the review it's most outstanding and salient features.
 One method would be to have oDe- minute talks either by members of the class or persons selected from the school. Each of twelve scholars could be assigned one minute, each to have one of the lessons of the past quar- ter.
 Another good way would be to take the outstanding and significant verses from the lessons of the quarter not the golden text, but verses which seem to emphasize the outstanding features of the six months work. "Behold the Lamb of God" (Ch. 1 :36) "Ye must be born again." (3:D; Come see a man which told me all things that ever I did, is not this the Christ?' t4:29). 'Verily, verify I say unto you. he that heareth my word and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life and shall not come into condemnation but is passed from death unto life" 6: 24). "I must work the works of him that sent me while it is day; the night cometh when no man can work"
 Another method of review would be, particularly in the adult classes, to have each lesson with it's present-day emphasis. For instance, the past quar- ter: Lesson 1.-The Christian in his dealing with blindness. Lesson 2- Modern wonders of healing and medi- cal missions. Lesson 3-The shep- herding of church members. Lesson Do we know how to give? Lesson 5 Is Christ supreme in our national life? Lesson 6-Ambition and its cure. Lesson 7-The worlds good springing from Christ. Lesson Temperance reform. Lesson 9-The Holy Spirit in everyday life. Lesson 10-How Christ is betrayed and denied today. Lesson 1.-The uplifting power of the cross. Lesson 12-Why men believe in im- mortality.
 A good method of review would be to have someone take up each of the golden texts, announcing it in advance that pupils may be prepared for this method. The teacher would write the texts of the quarter, each on a sepa- rate piece of cardboard, and lay them face down on a table; pupils would then draw the golden texts, one at time, and tell what the lesson is to which this text belongs, giving as full an account of the lesson as possible, the teacher helping out with questions where necessary.
 It will be of great value to the pu- pills if they can get in this review clear outline of the main events of Christ's last weeks upon earth, GOV cred particularly by the past quarter. There are forty standing events of the past quarters: CD The healing of the man born blind; CD Jesus the good Shepherd; (3) Jesus sending forth the seventy; (4) Jesus in Berea; (5) The raising of Lazarus; (6) The ten lep- CTS healed; CD Bartimaeus at Jericho; (S) Jesus visits Zaccheus; 60 Jesus anointed by Mary; (10) The fig tree; GID Triumphal entry; 12) Cleaning the temple; Q3) Weeping over Jeru- salem; (14) The widows mite; 15) The Greeks seek Jesus; (16) Prepara- ton for the passover; CID Washing the disciples feet; QS) The Lords supper; (19) The farewell discourse; (2O) The farewell prayer; (2D The agony in Gethsemane; (22) Judas be- trays Jesus; (23) The arrest of Je- sus; (24) Peter denies Jesus; (25) Jesus before Ananias; (26) Jesus be- fore Caiphas; (27) Jesus before the Sanhedrin; (2S) The mocking of Je- sus; (29) Jesus before Pilate; (3O) Jesus before Herod; (31) Pilate con- demns Jesus; (32) The sorrowful wait; (33) The crucifxion; (34) The seven last words; (35) Jesus dies; (36) Burial; (37) Resurrection; (3S) Appears to Mary; (39) Appearance during the forty days; (40) The as- tension.
