The method of review Will largely
be determined by the taste of the
teachers and the grade in the school
concerned To the writer's taste. two
good methods are available: the bio
graphical and the summary. In using
the biographical, the lives of fouT
great prophets, Elijah, Elisha, Jonah
and Amos may be considered. These
four men are connected with nearly
all the lessons Of the quarter. This
method can be used to good advantage
-
In the summary method the principal
fact of each lesson with its leading
lesson should he set forth. This
method can be used to good advantage
in the adult departments. The follow
ing is a suggested summary:
Lesson |. Rehoboam refused 20
grant the request of the people for
the Tightening of TIE burdens of taxa
zion. Because of this ten tribes under
the leadership OF JerobOam revolted
and formed another kingdom. Tie
most effective cure for social and
political unrest is justice by the rulers
to those ruled.
Lesson II. Elijah. after announcing
TO Ahab the Withholding of rain for
term of years, fled and was fed by
the ravens and by the widow az
Zarephath. God adapts himself 10 tbs
circumstances of His servants, and
sometimes in the most unlikely ways
provides for His own.
Lesson Ill. At the request of Elijah,
Ahab called the people together to wit
ness a supreme challenge of Baal
worship. Faith IN God will stand the
most severe test. The fire of God is
the unfailing sign which differentiates
true from false religion.
Lesson ~. Elijah, though brave be-
fore the $50 prophets of Baal, fed for
his life from Jezebel God dealt most
gently with his discouraged servant.
We. should learn from this that fire.
quently we fail in our strongest point.
LESION v. Naboth refused to sell his
vineyard to Ahab. whereupOn through
JezebeIs plot he was murdered. and
Ahab took possession. Nations and
kings should respect the rights of in
diyidualS $500 Z. ~ si,,7'4 f.eqes
Lesson vi. When Elijah's work was
finished, God took him to heaven by
a whirlwind. Elijah had once requested
him to go to heaven than by way OF
death.
Lesson VII. The Shunammite
woman, seeing Elisha passing by o.
errands for God, was moved to pro
vide a comfortable lodging for him
whereupon Elisha sought to recon-
| pense her by promising that God woui(
give her a child. Not infrequently has
| the prophets chamber brought bless
| ing to the home
Lesson VIII. At the command ol
Elisha, Naaman dipped himself sever
times in the Jordan and vas healed
of leprosy. In order to be healed o.
the leprosy of sin. human pride anC
vanity must be put away and obedience
| rendered TO God.
Lesson TX. The king of Assyria sen
a great army to apprehend Elisha be
cause he had repeatedly informed tn,
Sing Of Israel concerning the move
r3ants of the Assyrian army. Wher
the Lord opened the eyes of Elisha:
servant. he beheld the mountains filled
with horses and chariots Of fire. ''Tht
angel of the Lord encampeth round
about the71 that fear him, and de
:iyereth thenli" Lord, open our eyes i
Lesson X. At the preaching O
Jof3h, the wicked city of Nineveh re
| pented and God showed mercy. God:
mercy and forgiveness should move
Us TO preach the gospel to the heather
Lesson XII. The children of Israe
lrided themselves in their security
and gave themselves TO luxury ana
sensual indulgerceS. God sent Anr0s
20 warn them Of the judgment which
must follow. The Lord will bring the
riiso'iiy to judgment, for their ungodIy
living.
Lesson XII. In due time the prophecy
OF Amos came true. The Assyrians
came and carried the children OF
israel into captivity. from which they
never returned. Rejection of God and
the despising of His worship will be
followed with judgment and destruc-
ton.
