. The method OF review must largely
be determined by the individual teach
er. For Junior and intermediate
classes a 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 n Syrophoenicinn
woman to heal her daughter. who was
grievously possessed with n demon.
After apparent Indifference. In order
to lead her into an intelligent faith.

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-

do in order to inherit eternal life.
This young man was of an amiable
disposition and earnest and sincere.

to be saved. but to be willing to sur.
render all things for him.

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
