There are a variety Of methods to
be followed in reviewing the work Of
tie past six months and to give va
Fiety. Teachers Of classes, or super
tntendents Of schools, may select one
81 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 it,
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
10 emphasize the outstanding features
NJ the six months' work. "Behold the
Lamb of Cod" tCh. 1880: aye must
be 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 and
shall not come into condemnation but
Is passed from death unto life" %:
a4). Il must work the works of him
that sent me while It Is day; the night
cometh when no man can work"
4 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 p
Modern wonders Of healing and medl.
cal missions. Lesson 3-The shep.
herding Of church members. Lesson 4
DO we know how to give? Lesson D
lis Christ supreme In our national
life? Lesson e-AmbItion and its cure.
Lesson 1.-THE worlds good sprtnging
from Christ. Lesson s-Temperance
reform. Lesson 9-The Holy Spirit In
everyday life. Lesson 10-How Christ
I Ii betrayed and denied today. Lesson
1.-THE uplifting power Of the cross.
Eesson 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 sepa-
rate piece of cardboard, and lay them
face down on table; pupils would
then draw the golden texts, one at a
lime, and tell what the lesson is to
which this text belongs, giving as full
m account Of the lesson as possible,
the teacher helping out with questions
where necessary.
Il will be Of great value to the pu-
pills If they can get In this review q

Ghrist's last weeks upon earth, GOV.

namely, that "Jesus is the Christ, the
Son Of God, and that believing on him
we might have everlasting Life, eternal
life in his name" CSee golden text).
A Suggestion.
In setting forth this review, let Us
not as teachers and officers, overlook
the opportunity we have Of calling
from our scholars an expression Of the
faith that has been born within them.
(see Rom. 1919, 1o). Jesus the light
Of the world has power to set men free
from sin and "whom the son shall
make free is free indeed" II we
