Paul Of the other. The road has been
thronged, but the quarter should have
made it possible for US to pick out
these from among them so that while
the others are in the back of our
thinking these stand out distinctly.
PRIMARY: FAVORITE STORIES
OF THE QUARTER.
Pictures are the basis of the recall,
and Wilde and Perry sets are so cheap
and so fine that no school can afford
to be without some such aid in the
presenting Of the lessons each Sun
day and not alone upon that of the
review Make them the reward for
the work done and in some homes they
will be the only reminder that we are
in Chrstendom instead Of in raw hea-
thenism. The Catholic church has
much to teach US in the use OF pictures
in the home And much of its grip
is found in that early, visual impress
sion upon the child's mind. Let the
children select their favorites and the
most appealing one may become the
reason for placing its picture upon
the wall Of the department room.
JUNIOR: FAVORITE HEROES
AND HEROINES OF TIE
QUARTER.
Pictures Will again aid the work.
Or the map may freshen the recall of
the figures who have grown familiar
singly. 1t should not give the indi-
viduals as large place as the spread
of the movement they represented, so
that little banners marked with their
names may be carried from JcrUsa-
lem to the limits reached by them and
the spread of Christianity will be i'm
mediately apparent as they are stuck
up from Spain to the Euphrates and
the upper Nile. A missionary lesson
may be added if the map of our world
is shown and a few minutes given to
showing where we ought to plant our
banners today. Pictures may be used
in clearing the minds concerning the
main things done by each and then
pin one on the back of each boy and
let him guess who he is from the
questions asked him by the rest. Let
him keep the picture. Enlist them
as heralds of Jesus in our day as
these men and women were in theirs.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR:
GREAT CHARACTERS OF THE
NEW TESTAMENT.
A striking review for these young
people which may be readily made the
form for presenting it in a two-room
school is to select a scholar to repre-
sent each Of the persons studied. Let
him or her appear upon the platform
dressed in appropriate costume and
give in the first person a brief char
acterization of the life whose name
is his or hers. What are some Of the
qualities that have made these great?
A blackboard or paper charting Of
them may be made by the class so
that the generosity Of Barnabas, the
determination Of Paul, the courage Of
the BaptiZer, the reticence of Mary
the mother of Jesus, the helpfulness
of Luke, the fidelity Of Stephen, etc,
may be upon the paper and then the
qualities that we should cultivate in
our lives urged. That Christ was the
inspiration Of all these, points to the
sOurse that should be accepted by the
scholars. Two minute essays may be
written upon each and read in class,
or letters may be written giving a
story of the visit Of Mary as sent by
Elizabeth to a friend in Gapernaum.
Peter may write about Mary and Mar
tina to his wife, Gamaliel may write to
another rabbi about Stephen. Always
some one acquainted with the cir
cumstanccs does exactly as we DO,
writes it to some other friend These
letters will familiMTZe the writers
each with two persons so that it Will
be valuable drill in many ways.
! Question contests are IN order be-
tween classes or between parts OF the
