Journeys Of Jesus from his birth to bis
ascension, giving emphasis to some or

and power, atoning death, triumphant
resurrection and glorious coming
again. Indeed, this method, with some
notifications, can be used to good ad-
vantage with all grades. A good way

central and vital teaching as they bear
upon the golden text. In such case,
each lesson rhould he assigned one

suggestive of the latter method:
Lesson I.-As Jesus was passing
through the COASTS of Tyre and Sldon,
he was besought by Syrophoenlcan
woman to heal her daughter, who was
grievouSly possessed with demon.
After apparent Indifference, In order
10 lead her into an intelligent faith,
he healed her daughter. As he further
lourneyed through DecapOlis, deaf
and dumb man besouCht him for henl-
ing. In spite of the fact that he was
so soon TO be offered up. and other In
tcrcsts that were upon him, he healed
this man. In both cases he showed
not only his sympathy, hut his mighty
power over demons and physical dis

Les on Il.-As his earthly career was
approaching its end. Jesus began to
take account Of his ministry. He
wanted the disciples to have definite
and personal knowledge as to his per-
son. He knew that the opinions OF
others would not suffice them In the
hours Of darkness which were immedi'
ntaly before them. In order to be ef-
fcient witnesses they must know that
Jesus Is the Christ, not merely some
great teacher or prophet.
Lesson lll.-.Tesus was transiigured
before Peter, James and John, to show
them his triumph over death In his
glorious kingdom. This occurred at n
time when the disciples were sorely
tried. Jesus rebuke apparently
cstranged them. He wns transfigured
"hefore them" showing that the chief
object of the TRANSPORTATION was to
rrppare the disciples for the ordeal be-
fore them. An inspired commentary
unon this translation Is found in II
Peter 1919.
Lesson lV.-As Jesus was endeavor-
Ing 10 show his disciples how he must

who should he the greatest In the
kingdom. Jesus taught them that
humble, sclf-dcnylng service Is the
sign of true greatness. This Is n les

him this lesson, he made II clear to the
Young man that he loved money more
than the Lord. He, live many today
in the hour when decision must he
made between this world and Jesus
Christ, turns away sOrrowful.
Lesson VI.-Whlle the Lord was
consciously facing the cross, the disci-
ples were concerned about positions of
pre-emincnce. Jesus taught them that
those who would follow him must not
seek for greatness or position, but to
render lowly service. Tn this Christ
Is the grand example. In due time he
will exalt those who In lowliness OF
heart serve him.
Lesson VII.-Jesus drove out the
money changers from the temple. and
declared that the house of God should

house of merchandise. This lesson
needs to he learned by many churches
today. Those who use the church, or
the holy religion for which II stands,
for financial or social or political In
terests are polluting the Lords house,
and all such should he driven out.
Lesson VIlI.-The scrlbes sought 10
cntrap Jesus by asking cnptious ques-
tions. To the question rs to what was
the greatest commandment, he replied
that It was love to God with all ones
heart. soul, mind and strength. Since
This Is the first and great commando

to be guilty Of the greatest sin. Those
who do not love God, then, with their

sinners.
