that you might believe that Jesus Is the
Christ, the Son of God; and that believ-
ing We might have life through his name.
John 20:31.
There are q variety of methods to
be followed in reviewing the work Oh
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 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 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 six months work. behold the
Lamb of God" (Ch. :36): Eye must
he born again." go; "Come see a
man which told me all things that ever
I did; is not this the CHRISTI" (4:29):
"Verily, verify say unto you, he that
heareth my word and believeth on him
that sent me, hath everlasting life ana
shall not come into condemnation but
is passed from death unto life" 70:
24). 81 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 3
Modern wonders of healing and medi-
cal missions. Lesson .3-The shep-
herding Of church members. Lesson
DO we know how to give? Lesson
Is Christ supreme in our national
life? Lesson 6-Ambition and it's cure.
Lesson 1.-The worlds good springlng
from Christ. Lesson S-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
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 sepa-
rate piece of cardboard, and lay them
face down on 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-
nils If they can get in this review

Christ's last weeks upon earth, COW
cred particularly by the past quarter.
