John 0:31.
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 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 M minute. each to have
n 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 1867 "Ye must
be born again." go "Come see a
man which told me all things that ever
l did Is not this the Christi" (4:29) :
Verify, 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). II must work the works of him
that sent me while 1t is day; the night
cOmeth when no man can work ; II an
the light of the world "He is Of age.
let him speak for himself; lone thing
I know, that, whereas l was blind, now
I 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 Its %present-day
emphasis. For instance, the past quar-
ter: Lesson 1.-The Christian In his
dealing with blindness. Lesson Q
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 66AmbitiOn and its cure.
Lesson THE worlds good %sprlnging
from Christ. Lesson S-Temperance
reform. Lesson 9-The Holy Spirit in
everyday life. Lesson Hollow 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 1t In advance
that pupils may be prepared for this
method. The teacher would write the
texts Of the quarter, each on a sepa-
piece Of cardboard, and lay them
down on a table; pupils would
then draw the golden texts, n at a
time, and tell what the lesson is to
which this text belongs. giving as full
nm account of the lesson as possible,
the teacher helping out with questions
necessary.
1t will be Of great value to the pu.
