DEEMER AND LORD.

salvation TO everyone that believeth.-
Romans i:l6.
The method of review must largely
be determined by the individual teach
or. For junior and intermediate
classes good way will be by the use
OF good map of Palestine, to trace the
Journeys of Jesus from his birth to his
ascension, giving emphasis to some OF
his vital teachings, deeds of mercy
and power. atoning death, triumphant
resurrection and glorious coming
again. The following day may be
suggestive of the latter method:
Lesson las Jesus was passing
through the coasts OF Tyre and Sidon,
he was besought by Syrophoenlcian
woman to heal her daughter, who was
griev0usly possessed with a demon.
After apparent Indifference, in order
to lead her into an intelligent faith,
he healed her daughter As he further
journeyed through Decapolls, a deaf
and dumb man besought him for heal
Ing.
Lesson ll.--As his earthly career was
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-
ately before them.
Lesson lll.--Jesus vas TRANSPORTED
before Peter, James and John, to show
them his triumph over death in his
glorious kingdom. This occurred at a
time when the disciples were sorely
| tried. Jesus rebuke apparently
estranged them. He was TRANSPORTED
"before them" showing that the chief
object of the TRANSFORMATION was to
prepare the disciples for the ordeal be-
| fore them. An inspired commentary
upon this translation is found in II
Peter l 1919.
r.. Lesson Iv.--As Jesus was endeavor-
/. Ing 10 show his disciples how he must
be crucified. they were disputing as to
who should be the greatest In the
| kingdom. Jesus taught them that
humble. self-denying service Is the
sign sf true greatness. This is les
son which needs to be learned by most
, of US today, as despite our best efforts
we note insidious self-seeking making
itself known.
Lesson VA certain rich man In
| quired of the Lord as to what he must
| do in order TO inherit eternal life.
| This young man was OF an amiable
| disposition and earnest and sincere,
but he had wrong notions as to saliva
ton. Jesus showed him that his SUI
preme need was not doing something
| to be saved, but to be willing to sur
render all things for him.
Lesson W.-While the Lord was
consciously facing the cross, the disci-
pies were concerned about positions of
pre-eminence. Jesus taught them that
those who would follow him must not
seek for greatness or position, but to
render lowly service. In 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
he house OF prayer instead of a
house of merchandise. This lesson
needs to be learned by many churches
| today.
Lesson Vili.-The scribes sought to
entrap Jesus by asking captious ques-
| lions. To the question as 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 command
ment. to violate this commandment is
to be guilty of the greatest sin.
Lesson ix.-While Jesus sat ri
meat. a certain woman Amounted him
with precious ointment In anticipation
of his burial The Lord was pleased
with this act, for it was out Of heart
| of fervent love that she lavished upon
him her best.
Lesson Kin connection with the
last Passover. Mt which Judas betrayed
Jesus, the symbols which represent
the body and blood of Jesus were in.
troduced In the embems of the com.
munion we appropriate the very life
and blessings Of Christ
Lesson Xi.-Jesus died between two
malefactors TO make atonement for
the worlds sin. He gave his life a
ransom for many. While on the cross
they mockingly said he saved others
| himself he could not save
He could not save both himself and
others. so he chose to save others and
! give himself to die.
La xIl.--Iesus arose from the
grave and demonstrated his resurrec-
| ton with infallible proofs. In this
| God declared him TO he his Son, and
set his stamp of approval upon his
work. The disciples ought to have
reioiced that the tomb was empty
HAD he not arisen, his entire work
would have been proven u failure. The

| bodily resurrection Of those who are
