The method of review must largely
be determined by the individual teach
er. For Junior and informed ate
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 SOM OF
his vital teachings, deeds of m'rcy
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
for senior and adult classes. will be to
recall the principal facts of each les
son of the quarter, and state their
central and vital teaching as they bear
upon the golden text. In such case,
each lesson should be assigned one
week previous. The following may be
suggestive of the latter method:
Lesson LAS Jesus was passing
through the coasts of Tyre and Sidon,
he was besought by Syrophoenician
woman to heal her daughter, who was
grievously possessed with q demon.
After apparent Indifference, in order
to lead her into an intelligent faith,
he healed her daughter. AS he further
journeyed through Decapolis, deaf
and dumb man hesought him for heal
ing. In spite of the fact that he was
so soon to be offered up, and other in
terests that were upon him, he healed
this man. In both cases he showed
not only his sympathy, but his mighty
power over demons and physical dis
cases.
Lesion II.-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

others would not suffice them in the
hours of darkness which were immedi
ately before them. In order to be eff
ficient witnesses they must know thai
Jesus is the Christ, not merely some
great teacher or prophet.
Lesson III.-Jesus was trans6gure(
before Peter, James and John, to show
them his triumph over death in hi!
glorious kingdom. This occurred at
time when the disciples were sorell
tried Jesus rebuke apparently
estranged them. He was TRANSPORTED
''before them," showing that the chic
object of the TRANSPORTATION was t
prepare the disciples for the ordeal be
fore them. An inspired commentar,
upon this translation is found in I
Peter 1919.
Lesson lV.-As Jesus was endeavor
Ing to show his disciples how he mus
be crucified, they were disputing as II
who should be the greatest in th'
| kingdom. Jesus taught them tha
| humble, self-denying service is th'
sign of true greatness. This is a les
son which needs to be learned by mos
of us today, as despite our best effort
we note insidious self-seeking maxim:
itself known.
Lesson VA certain rich man In
| quired of the Lord as to what he mus
do In order to inherit eternal life
| This young man was of an amiabl
| disposition and earnest and sincere
but he had wrong notions as to saliva
| ton. Jesus showed him that his su
| preme need was not doing somethinl
| to be saved. but to be willing to sur
render all things for him. In teachin
him this lesson, he made it clear to tn
young man that he loved money NOR
| than the Lord. He, like many toda
in the hour when decision must b
made between this world and Jesu
! Christ, turns away sorrowful.
Lesson VI.-While the Lord wa
consciously facing the cross, the disc
| pies were concerned about positions O
pre-eminence. Jesus taught them tina
those who would follow him must nc
seek for greatness or position, but t
| render lowly service. In this Chris
is the grand example. In due time h
will exalt those who in lowliness c
heart serve him.
Lesson VIl.-Jesus drove out tn
money changers from the temple, an
declared that the house of God shoul
be house of prayer instead of
house of merchandise. This lesso
needs to be learned by many churche
| today. Those who use the church. {
the holy religion for which it stand
for financial or social or political il
terests are polluting the Lords hous
and all such should be driven out.
j Lesson VIII.-The scribes sought
-entrap Jesus by asking captious que
tions. To the question as to what ws
the greatest commandment. he reptile
that it was love to God with all one
heart, soul, mind and strength. Sine
this is the first and great cornman,
ment, to violate this commandment
to be guilty of the greatest sin. Thos
who do not love God, then, with the
