Thirty cents well be very we'll spent
in making unforgettable the lessons
of the quarter. Allow the pupils to
earn them for taking home in anv
fashion that ingenuity may fashion
best for the group. If they have been
used during the quarter one way is to
have the children act the picture and
allow the rest to guess what they are
presenting as we do in charades. If
they are new they might guess the
lesson meant by the picture shown.

JUNIOR: What We Have
Learned About Missions.
Here again the pictures may be
used as they may in any grade tho diff
ferent processes will be followed in
handling them. They might be as
signed on the preceding Sunday and
story telling contest be staged as
review with the class determining the
favorite. This picture could we'll be
placed on the wall as a permanent re-
minder Of the verdict. A drill on
Bible missionaries may be tried, each
presenting some assigned character
and telling what he did that was
worth putting in the record. A map
may become the basis of appeal in
showing the expanding area of the
rule Of Christ. The familiar black
and white map with the black indi-
eating the portions Of the world still
unevangelized may be helpful. Carry
the appeal to do some definite mis-
sionary task before the class and also
do not allow this last session to pass
without presenting the claims of Je-
sus as Lord of their lives.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR:
What Is My Missionary Duty?
If we are to answer the topics ques
ton, we must know the task involved.
For this purpose the class may be or
gained into a meeting of the Mis-
sion Board with reports from the vari-
Gus fields, letters from missionaries to
be found in any missionary period
zeal, projects to be undertaken, all of
which involves the teacher in the
search Of material to use. There is
nothing better than the World Ser
vice Volume to be found now in ali
Methodist churches. A study of how
the work is carried on today may be
made, how the money is raised, how
/ it is given out, what forms of activity
our church employs, what fields it is
responsible for. Perhaps the class can
undertake some project like the sup
plying Of q native worker, the plac-
ing Of bed in children's hospital,
he providing for a child in some or
2hanage, the sending of some one to
one of the schools. If information is
desired, consult your minister. Es-
says may be written on "Why I be
lieve in the Missionary movement"
and some recognition be given the
best. Or each may bring in lone ques-
ton I would like answered" which will
invoyle the REORGANIZATION of all the
lessons. Do not let the opportunity
pass to give place both for a conse-
Grafton to Christ and also of a choice
Of the form Of life service the scholar
may make.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULTS:
The Present Missionary Outlook.
A debate may be staged with: Re
solved, That the Missionary activity
/ is the chief concern of the local
church. If any one will oppose Mis-
sions then it will be easy to draft him
into leading this discussion or some
other phrasing of the question. Use
the World Service volume for infor-
nation on the present outlook. Have
a problem review with assignments
like "How to get recruits" etc.
