There are variety Of methods ia
be followed In reviewing the work OF
the past six months and to give va
rlety. Teachers of classes, or super
lntendcnts Of schools, may select one
or combine several, ms their Judgment
dictates. or course. tbs easiest way
Is to procure good speaker who Is
familiar with the Gospel Of John ana
the lessons Of the past quarter, ana
let him bring out In the review Its
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 ELK months work. Behold the
Lamb of God" (Ch. ! 1897; aye must
be born again." go: Come see n
man which told me all things that ever
| did; Is not this the Christi" (i:29) {:
"vcrily, verify 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 llfe." 20:
24). II must work the works OF him
that sent me while II is day; the night
cOmeth when no man can work Il am
the Hight of the world ale Is Of age,
let him speak for himself; zone thing
know. that, whereas was blind. now
can see" Thus 20 on through the
Gospel and take the significant texts
in this way. It will not do to take too
many texts or 60 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 its present-day
emphasis. For instance the past quar-
ter: Lesson THE Christian In his
dealing with blindness. Lesson >
Modern wonders of healing and medl-
cal missions. Lesson 3-The shep-
herdlng OF church members. Lesson 4
DO we know how TO give? Lesson .

reform. Lesson 9-The Holy Spirit In
everyday life. Lesson l0-lfow Christ

A good method of review would be
10 have someone take up each OF the
golden texts, announcing II In advance
that pupils may be prepared for this
The teacher would write the
texts Of the quarter, each on 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 rs full

the teacher helping out with questions
where necessary.
1t will be of great value to the pu-
pills II they can get In this review

As brought out heretofore. John
sets forth the purpose of this Gospel;
that "Jesus Is the Christ, the
Son of God, and that believing on him
we might have everlasting life, eternal
life in his name" (See golden text.
Whatever method be the review. we
must constantly keep before rs the
idea to make Jesus rs real as II we
were With him as his disciples. The
word Is now dwelling among us "full
of grace and truth, giving daily of his
fulness and grace for grace" Jesus
exhausted the language In giving us
comparisons and SMILES; he Is the
way, the truth, the life, the bread, the
the door, the water of life;
and in each Of these he sets forth
some attribute, some manifestation of
his life, for he was the way; he him
