The method of review must always
be determined by the genius of tile
teacher, the grade of the school, and
the aptitude of the pupil. For tile
senior and adult classes perhaps the
most profitable method will be to sum-
Marie the facts of each lesson and
to study the main teaching thereof.
Since the great personality around
which all the facts and teachings of
the quarter gather is Jesus Christ, 1t
ought not to be difficult to plan re-
view. Whatever plan is used, the
teacher should have the matter
thought out and assignment made to
the different scholars week ahead
of time. The following suggestions
are made:
Lesson for January I. John the
Baptist came in fulfllment of Isaiah's
prophecy announcing the advent of
the Messiah. The leading lesson is
that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of
God, as witnessed by John the Bap-
fist and the Voice from the open
heavens.
Lesson for January 8. Jesus taught
with authority and demonstrated it by
conquering demons, healing fever,
and cleansing a leper. Jesus Christ
is able to save unto the uttermost, to
deliver from all kinds of sickness and
satanic powers.
Lesson for January IS. Jesus freely
gave Himself to the task of healing
the diseases of the people and forgiv'
ing their sins, and the leading lesson
is that Jesus has not only power to
heal the diseases of the body but to
forgive sin, which is the cause of dis
ease.
Lesson for January %. Jesus lived
His life in conformity with Gods law
Conflict with the Jews over the matter
of Christ's disregard of their laws of
fasting and the Sabbath was due
either to their failure to understand
Gods law or to its perversion. HUI
man welfare can be realized only
through conformity to Gods law.
Lesson for January 20. With the
increase of the fame of Jesus came
increase of opposition. In spite of the
opposition by His enemies He con-
tinued His mighty works in casting
out demons and ministering to those
in need.
Lesson for February 5. Jesus was
misunderstood by His friends, His
family and fellow townsmen, and vio-
lently opposed by the scribes and
Pharisees. A spiritual nature is
necessary in order to understand
Christ.
Lesson for February IL. Jesus
showed Himself the master teacher
in picturing truth concerning His
kingdom so as to conceal the truth
from those who were not in sympathy
with Him and by Interpretation to
be understood by His disciples.
Lesson for February 10. Jesus
deity was manifested in calming the
storm-tossed sea and in healing the
demoniac. Because of what Jesus is
we should confide in Him.
Lesson for February 26. Jesus
raised from the dead Jairus' daugh-
ter and healed the woman who had
been afflicted for twelve years. Only
a divine being could raise the dead.
Lesson for March q. Jesus called
twelve men and sent them forth to
preach the gospel of the kingdom.
Those sent forth were furnished with
power to heal diseases.
Lesson for March II. Christ had
compassion upon the multitudes and
created food to supply their hunger.
Our small gifts and possessions, when
placed at the Lords disposal, are suf-
ficient for any need.
Lesson for March 10. Christ de.
nounced the empty forms and tradi-
tions of the Pharisees and showed
that defilement can only come from
the heart.
