tian the senior and adult teacher, the
fundamentals Of faith and practice. As
illustrative Of the method for the
senior and adult. note the following:
Lesson I. God who was before all
things Is the cause Of all things. The
universe came into being by the will
and act Of the divine personality. Man
himself Is a creation Of God, not an
evolution. All things continue to be
by the preserving power Of God. This
great being is the Father Of all who be-
lieve on Jesus Christ. We should give
him our undivided affection and trust
him for food and raimcnt.
Lesson ~. Jesus, the Son of God
and ~Isracl's Messiah, is the lamb who
bore our sins. Out of Gods love he
was given, and whatsoever believeth
on him shall not perish, but have ever
lasting life"
Lesson ~. Jesus Christ rose from
the dead. His resurrection guarantees:
1. The integrity Of the Scriptures
I Cor. 500.
Q. The reality of the divine person
(Rom. AZ.
3. The %suficiency OF Christ's atom
ing sacrifice (Rom. 4:25).
4. Life and immortality Of the be-
lever q Cor. Is 800.
Lesson ~. On the day of Pentecost
the Holy Spirit was poured out upon
the disciples. baptizing them into the
one body Of which Christ is the head.
The gift of the Spirit peculiarly quail
fled the disciples to be his witnesses.
Lesson v. God created man in his
likeness and image and placed him at
the head Of creation.
Lesson VI. Through the fall Of
Adam sin has passed upon all men,
bringing death, physical and spiritual,
and sorrow I'm It's train.
Lesson WI. Lost men are saved alb
s~olutely by Gods grace. His grace
means his kindness toward men
through Jesus Christ.
Lesson VII. At the preaching Of
Jonah the people Of Nineveh repented.
Because Of their repentance Gods
wrath was turned aside. Those who
repent Of their sins and cry to God
for mercy through Jesus Christ shall
be saved.
Lesson TX. II Is only through faith
that man can please God. Through
faith the mightiest victories have been
wrought. The grand exemplar upon
whom faith can rest IL Jesus Christ.
Lesson X. The grand incentive to
obedience is love to God. Calling Christ
Lord will not answer for disobedience
to his will. Hearing and doing his
teachings Is building upon the solid
rock. Such building can never be de-
stroyed by flood or storm.
Lesson XXI. The right motive In pray
ing is not to attract mans attention,
but to have fellowship with God. God
is pleased with persistency in prayer.
Lesson XII. The greatest Of the
Holy Spirits gifts is love-the love
OF God shed abroad In our hearts.
Love Is not a mere sentiment or emo
ton, but a mighty dynamic which
transforms the life, expressing itself
in practical service to men. 1t abides
forever.
