dying man will flash in a few mo-
ments a hundred episodes of his life,
and he realized with sudden rush
of feeling how empty and desolate his
life would be with Evelyn out of 1t
entirely. True, for a long time now
he had just taken her presence for
granted-had just thought of her as
some one who was always there
some one who was necessary 10 his
well-being and comfort just as some
article of comfort and convenience
might be, but now he realized how
much she meant to him, and he knew
that the love which he had thought
was dead and buried was still burn
ing, but that its flame was not felt
because Of the heavy curtain his in
difference and neglect had thrown
over it,
And then it was that Arthur Will
liams made New Year resolution and
one which he kept through all the
years that followed, judging from the
new happiness which came to him and
his wife and from the buoyancy and
hopeful attitude toward the future
which he brought to his tasks each day.

Two plans for the review are sug
gested:
I. The Summary Method. This will
lesson and state the leading teaching
thereof. The following brief state-
ments are suggested;
Lesson I. God called Abraham out
from his country and kindred to make
him the head of the nation through
which the Redeemer was to come The
leading lesson is chat God blesses men
and nations in order that they may be
blessing. This is the universal law
Of the spiritual realm.
Lesson 2. Israel was given an eXalt-
ed position in order that she might
make God known to the nations The
message they were directed to proclaim,
was that God was the Savior of all
the nations
Lesson 3. Israel's geographical posi-
tion afforded the best opportunity to
carry the Gospel to the whole world
Shn f,, tl, Of a
world. Special privilege carries with
1t special responsibility.
Lesson 4. The burden of the message
of the prophets WAS that God Is great
In mercy to all the nations when they
penitently turn to Him from their sins
Lesson S. Strong drink works great
ruin to all. The only way to escape
this ruin is to totally abstain from It's
use
Lesson 6. The Psalter. the hymn
book OF the Jewish nation, has as its
central message the Spirit of Gods
men back to God
Lesson 7. Jesus Christ was the pre-
eminent missionary. His compassion
for the multitude moved Him to send
forth luborers In His vineyard. The
missionary message TO the lost world
is that through the sacrificial death Of
Christ salvation is offered to all

that they might go TO the lost world
