The following is suggestive:
Lesson /. John the Baptist was a
humble and courageous man. He did
not take honor to himself nor trim his
message to suit the crowd.
Lesson H. Mary should not be wor-
shipped, but she Is worthy Of great
honor. Her faith made her to ac-
quiesce in the Lords will in spite Of
the fact that she knew that her char
acter would be suspected.
Lesson III Peter, while being tickle
and cowardly, is fine example Of
the Transforming power Of Gods grace.
Lesson Nv. John the apostle was q
reticent man. He did not say much
about himself, but was passionately
in love with his Lord.
Lesson v. Matthew, though hum
BILE, was man Of force Of character
and decision. He left all and followed
Jesus.
Lesson vi. Mary Magdalene be-
cause she was saved, was steadfast In
her devotion to the Lord. Because Of
this, she was able to tell the good
news of the resurrection to the dis
couraged disciples.
Lesson VII. Mary and Martha both
loved the Lord. Martha was mistaken
as to the best way to please Him.
Mary chose the good part in fellow
ship with her Lord which has made
her name immortal.
~ Lesson Will Stephen was so COM
pletely filed with Christ that his face
shone as the face Of an angel.
Lesson TX. Barnabas was good
man and filed with the Holy Ghost.
Therefore he was qualified as a lead
er of men.
Lesson x Paul's knowledge of
Jesus was so real that he had as his
supreme aim to magnify Him.
Lesson XII Mark, though having
turned back from the work, was re
stored and became great and hon
ored minister of Christ.
Lesson XII. Luke, the skilled and
popular physician, gave himself up to
be the attendant of the missionary of
the cross.
Lesson XIII. Because of Timothy's
religious training, he became worthy
minister of the gospel.
