The method Of review must largely
be determined by the individual teach
or. For Junior and intermediate
classes a good way will be by the use
of a 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. a%toning death, triumphant
resurrection and glorious coming
again. The following day may be
suggestive Of The latter method:
Lesson l.-As Jesus was passing
through the coasts OF Tyre and Sidon,
he was bcsought by n SyrophOenician
woman TO heal her daughter, who was
~gricvouSly possessed with n demon.
After apparent Indifference, in order
to lead her into an intelligent faith,
he hcal.d her daughter. AS he further

approaching It's end, Jesus began to
take account Of his ministry. He
wanted the disciples to have definite
n 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-
atcly before them.
Lesson lll.-JcSus was TRANSPORTED
before Peter, James and John, to show
them his triumph ovcr death in his
glorious kingdom. This occurred at a
time when the disciples were sorely
tried. Jesus rchukc apparently
~cstrangcd them. He was TRANSPORTED

upon this translation is found in II
Peter 1:1G-19..

consciously facing the cross, the disci-
pies were concerned about positions OF
