 Two methods may profitably be em- ployed in the review of the lessons of the Quarter. First, a biographical sketch of the Apostle Paul, such as his birth, home training, education, conversation. teaching and missionary work. Second, the leading teachings of the lessons, which may be made prominent by summarizing the facts of each lesson and stating the most vital teaching thereof. The first meth cd can be used in reviewing the les sons in all departments and grades, and can be easily adapted by any teacher The second method will be preferred by many in the senior and adult classes.
 The following is given by way of suggestion:
 Lesson i. Paul was born at Tarsus, of Hebrew percentage. Being brought up in pious home, he was thorough ly imbued with the spirit of devotion to the Scriptures. He was educated at Jerusalem under the tutorship of Gamaliel. The chief text book was the Bible In addition to his religious training he was taught a trade which came in very useful later, enabling him to support himself while preach ing the gospel
 Lesson 2. In Paul's training as a Pharisee. he was taught to love his own nation, to love Gods law, and to be jealous toward God. that is, to have a passion for God and His work.
 Lesson 8. Paul's burning hatred of Jesus melted him to endeavor to stamp out the Nazarene heresy. While on the way to Damascus. with author ity to arrest and imprSOn the believ- CTS. men and women, he was stricken with blindness and fell to the earth and Jesus spoke to him from heaven, saying "Why persecutest thou me?" III IGSpOISt tO llle ntdNC1llN iliSNl dA- tion he went to Damascus where Ananias baptized him. and he received his sight and was filled with the Holy Spirit
 Lesson 4. Paul straightway preached Christ in the synagogue. Like every one who is really converted he began to tell of the newly found Saviour. After a lengthy sojourn in Arabia he visited Jerusalem where he was be- friended by Rarnabas when suspected by the disciples.
 Lesson 5. When the religious awaken | ing at Antioch had come to the atten- tion of the Jerusalem church, Bar nabas was sent to inspect it, and see ing help was needed he brought Paul from Tarsus to be his helper. Lesson G. After teaching year at Antioch, the Spirit moved the church to send forth Barnabas and Paul to evangelize the heathen. The church sent her best men.
 Lesson 7. As Paul and Barnabas were preaching at Iconium an at tempt was made to worship them as gods. Their efforts were frustrated by the tact of Paul. Soon after this Paul was stoned, showing that satanic worship can soon be turned into satan ic hate.
 Lesson 8. Paul's preaching the grace of God to the heathen brought on a controversy in the church at Antioch. The question in dispute was: Shall Gentiles be required to keep the Mosaic law as a condition of saliva tion?" The decision was in favor of Paul, and so Paul and Barnabas were free to begin their second missionary journey.
 Lesson 9. The Spirit forbade Paul to tarry longer in the provinces of Asia preaching the Gospel, and by a vision of a man from Macedonia plead~ ing for help, he was called into Flu rope.
 Lesson TO- The casting out of a demon from young woman resulted in landing Paul and Silas in jail. They were miraculously delivered and the jailer was converted.
 Lesson ii. Being driven out from Thessalonica and Berea, Paul went to Athens where he preached the gospel on Mars Hill. The result of his preach ing here was that some mocked, some procrastinated, and some believed.
 Lesson 12 Paul in this lesson sets forth the grand principles which should govern the believers life, the sum and substance of which is: "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do. do all to the l glory of God"
