It was the lesson committees
thought that the three kings Of the
united kingdom should be compared.
but that would necessitate going back
about half way into the preceding
quarter, and since the time for review
is so short, it would hardly be wise
for any but the adult classes to go
back of the present quarters lessons.
If in the adult classes this should be
done, the review should be rapid and
confined to:
1. The character Of the king.
2. The chief events of his reign.
8. Hfs success or failure, as the case
may be, and the reason therefor.
4. Lessons taught US.
The better method for most teach
ers and classes will be to let the les
sons center In the two outstanding
personalities of David and Solomon,
both as a mental discipline and as
spiritual message. A good way is TO
get the pupil to grasp the main facts
of each lesson and then state its lead
ing lessen.
