With the exception of the temper, sace teeson, all the lessons of the quar­ ter have to do with tiie death sad res­ urrection of pur Lord, In the hirst quarter we considered Jesus as the great, Teacher; in the second; he is presented chiefly s* th* seeking Savior; in the third, w« observed him as he acted in judgment upon Israel and sin; to this lost, hq t* seen to hi* Supreme office a* Savior and king. The king of love, he la also the world’s gavior. Denyhim hiS ktocBhip, refuse to become a subject of that kingdom of which he 1* the head and we bring upon ourselves the condemnation of a righteous judgment. This past quar­ ter particularly reveals him In that Anal ministry which resulted in the initiation of the new enterprise of pro-:, claiming hie .gospel, to the end that his kingdom shall be established. We shall consider the lessons under four headings: , c Story of Love* I, Those of .Preparation for HIS Pas- slon. These embrace the first three lesson*. (1) In the first, we have the" beautiful „story of the love which anointed him for burial, which’ he ac­ cepted and Immortalized. This was not because of the greatness of the act, hut because' of the appreciation of himself and of MS words, (2) Here We observe Mm presiding over and in­ stituting that lasting-memorial, the symbolic feast, wherein the old passes away and the new dispensation is ushered to, (3) Jn the third lesson we View with awe the agony of the gar­ den wherein, he dedicated himself to the coming suffering, “Not as I will, but as thou1wilt”—absolute surrender and delight to the Father^ will. If. Those That Preceded. His Pas­ sion. These next five lessons lead us through those dark shadows, yea, through a. darkness which is yet, un­ fathomable and which ended, in the total darkness of Calvary. (4) In this lesson Judas is presented, the incarna­ tion of evil, and the agent of Satan, who betrayed his Lord and “Friend” by a kiss. Here we see the Utter ruin of a soul which chose private ambition instead of fellowship with Jesus. (5) This 1$ a presentation of the greatest - and taoat appailing travesty of justice the, world has ever seen.' Humanity never descended to any lower depths, yet he is serene, calm, dignified and qtrong.. (8) The Temperagce Lesson, (7) This lessbn considers the heart-' breaking rashness of I’eter. (8) This is the story of the ignoble failure of a weak, vacillating, timeserver. Story of the OroM. • III. HI* Passion, (9) This brings us to the story of the cross itself, as, considered in this sequence of lessons.' Before that aye-inspiring, wonder- creating event we stand .with bared head. Hero sin was unmasked And did its utmost. Her also we behold grace unveiled and active, IV. The Post-Passion Lessons. We are now in a pew atmosphere and light, a new glory ls to he seen, (ill) In this lesson we behold the empty tomb, for “Hft.caalu not be holden of MJeath^vWo share with them the glori­ ous, the joyful consciousness that ho whom we have just seen die In ig­ nominy and shame and suffering is now alive and “ever liveth” to be our advocate and ever-present friend. This Is a glorious fact, that of the literal, bodily resurrection of Christ from among the dead, Hallelujah! (11) In lesson eleven this same thought is again emphasized and with the sugges­ tion of its accompanying obligation, ip that “we are 'witnesses of these things," In “Tarbell’s Teacher*’ Guide” Is a good suggestion for review Sunday, Viz., that a series of elliptical phrases be written upon a board or chart, that Will fix the chief Idea or serve ifl ae* call the lessons, as follows; (1) Let her alone . . «{2) For ye have the poor . . .

It would also be well to make men­ tion of the two years' work in the Synoptic Gospel*. Define what the gospel M (1 Cor. 10:1-4), what the word synoptic means, and wherein these Gospels differ from the Fourth Gospel, Drill the school in giving hook a»d chapter of the following: The Lord’* Prayer, the parable of the good Samar­ itan, the mustard need, the leaven, the prodigal son, the great command­ ment, the last supper, Gethsemane, the trial Of Jesus, the crucifixion, the resurrection, the great ocmiptato** the ascension.
