GOLDEN TEXT-These are written, |
hat you might believe that Jesus is the |

John 2Q;31.
There are variety Of methods to
,e followed in reviewing the work Of
he past sig months and to give va
'iety. Teachers of classes, or super
ntendents of schools, may select one
'r combine several, as their judgment
dictates. Of course, the easiest way
s 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 one
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. 1867: eye must
be born again." go; "Come see
man which told me all things that ever
1 did; is not this the Christi" a :29):
"Verily, verify l 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," Is:
24). 81 must work the works of him
that sent me while it is day; the night
cometh when no man can work II am
the light of the world; 'He is of age,
let him speak for himself; zone thing
know, that, whereas was blind, now
can see." Thus go on through the
Gospel and take the significant texts
in this way. It will not do to take too
many texts or go over too many verses,
or perhaps cover all of each verse.
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 4
DO we know how to give? Lesson 5
Is Christ supreme in our national
life? Lesson 6-Ambition and it's cure.
Lesson THE worlds good springing
from Christ. Lesson g. 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 i'm
mortality.
A good method of review would be
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 sepa-
rate piece Of cardboard, and lay them
face down on table; pupils would
then draw the golden texts, one at q
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.
1t will be of great value to the pu
pills if they can get in this review 6
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 o+
the past quarters: O The healing o.
the man born blind; (2) Jesus the goot
Shepherd; (3) Jesus sending forth the
seventy; (4) Jesus In Berea; (5) Tht
raising of Lazarus; (6) The ten lep
ers healed; CD Bartimaeus at Jericho
(S) Jesus visits Zaccheus; (9) jesus
anointed by Mary; Q0) The fig tree
(11) Triumphal entry; (12) Cleanin;
the temple; (13) Weeping over Jeru
salem; (14) The widows mite; Us
| The Greeks seek Jesus; (16) Prepara
ton for the passover; (17) Washing
the disciples feet: (1S) The Lord

1857 Burial; (37) Resurrection; (3S
Appears to Mary; (39) Appearance

AS brought out heretofore, Johl
sets forth the purpose of this Gospel
namely, that "Jesus is the Christ, tn
Son of God, and that believing on hir
we might have everlasting life, eterna
life in his name" (See golden text
Whatever method be the review, w
must constantly keep before US tn
idea to make Jesus as real as if W
were with him as his disciples. TIL
word is now dwelling among US "ful
of grace and truth, giving daily of hi
fulness and grace for grace" Jesu
exhausted the language in giving u
comparisons and SMILES; he is tn
way, the truth, the life, the bread, tn
shepherd, the door, the water of life
and in each of these he sets fort
some attribute, some manifestation c
his life, for he was the way; he hin
self is the life, the source of life, tn
life itself the true life on earth an
the eternal life which is to abide fol
ever. The entire review centers abou
Jesus Christ. A map would be c
help.
A Suggestion.
II setting forth this review, let U
not as teachers and officers, overloo
the opportunity we have of calm
from our scholars an expression of th
faith that has been born within then
(See Rom. 1919, 10). Jesus the ligl
