The method Of review must largely

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 Syrophoenician
woman to heal her daughter, who was
grievously possessed with a demon.
After apparent indifference. in order

Les -on Il.--As his earthly career was
approaching it's end, Jesus began 70
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 immed1-
ately before them.
Lesson III.-Jesus was TRANSFORMED
before Peter, James and John. to show
them his triumph over death in ms
| glorious kingdom. This occurred at
time when the disciples were sOrely
tried. Jesus rebuke apparently
estranged them. He was transtignred
"before them" showing that the ch'ef
object Of the. transflgusttitrts' was .
prepare the disciples for the Ordeaf ne
fore them. An inspired commentary
unon this translation Is found In Ii
Peter 1919.
Lesson WAS Jesus WIS endeavor-
ing to show his disciples how he must
be crucified. they were disputing as TO
who should he the greatest in the
kingdom. Jesus taught them that
humble. self-denying service is the
sign of 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
| ouired Of the Lord as to what he mllSr
do in order to inherit eternal life.
| This young man was of an amlahie
disnosjtion and earnest and sincere,
but he had wrong notions as to saliva
tion, Jesus showed him that his SUI
preme need was not doing something
to be saved. hut to be willing to sur
render all things for him.
Lesson VI.-While the. Lord was
consciously facing the cross, the dfsci-
plcs were concerned about positions OF
Dre-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
house of merchandise. This lesson
needs TO be learned by many churches
today.
Lesson VIII.-The scribes sought to
entrap Jesus by asking captious ques-
lions. To the question as to what was
the greatest commandment. he replied
that II 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 he guilty of the greatest sin.
Lesson IX.-While Jesus sat at
meat, q certain woman Amounted him
with precious ointment in anticipation
of his burial The Lord was pleased
with this act. for II was out of heart
of fervent love that she lavished upon
him her best.
Les on KIN connection with the
last Passover. at which Judas betrayed
Jesus the symbols which represent
the body and blood Of Jesus were In
PRODUCED. In the emblerns 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.
