V. A CHART REVIEW. "Lesson Number, Give the pupils, a week in advance, a list of five headings: Central Teaching, Old Testament Illustration, New Testament Illustration, Favorite Scripture." Each pupil is to make an outline of the lessons of the quarter, filling this in according to his own liking, writing out what seems to him the central thought in each case, choosing an appropriate illustration from the Old Testament and another from the New Testament, and selecting what he regards as the best Bible passage on the subject, all this regardless of whether he is taking or is not taking what has been considered in the class. The teacher will give the class a sample of how one lesson might be thus written out and will make his own chart, or use the chart given below. In the class session you will use a blackboard or a large sheet of paper, suitably ruled, and will make a model or consolidated chart, taking for each space what the class, after hearing all the different suggestions for that space, will decide upon as the best. When completed, the chart will be somewhat as follows: 5 resurrection of Laz arus I Cor. 15 The story of Luke 11: 13 God made man like The creation of The coming of 8 God's loving kind- Adam "the New Eph. 4:20 32 The only safety The story of Jonah The prodigal Rom. 2: 4 from sin is to turn from it completely son VI. A PERPLEXING-PROBLEMS REVIEW. The older classes may like to spend the review time in considering some of the more difficult problems of the quarter's lessons, which they may not have touched upon at the time when each lesson was considered, or may not have discussed with sufficient fulness. These problems will be assigned to different members of the class, among whom the time will be divided. Each may treat his subject as he pleases, in an essay or a brief talk, but keeping strictly within the time limit set. The following list of topics, one to a lesson, may be useful. Lesson I. Lesson II. Lesson IV. Lesson V. Lesson VI. Lesson VII. Lesson VIII. Lesson XI. How is God's loving Fatherhood to be reconciled with the sorrows How is Christ's atonement a satisfaction of the divine justice? In what points is man made in the image of God and in what points How can men be made to hate sin ? How can one make the grace of God clear to a doubter? What is the difference between repentance and shame or remorse ? How can we bring our human laws into entire conformity with How may we be sure that prayer is always answered ?
