I EXPOSITION AND PRACTICAL COMMENT | KeitK L. Brooks POINTS of the LESSON,T.C.Horton DAILY READINGS Dr. F.W . Farr ILLUSTRATIONS . W . H. Pike ELEMENTARY - Mabel L. Merrill it We call attention to the fact that we are in this issue giving the first Sunday School lesson for the month of May, in addition to those for April. This is to advance our schedule so as to accommodate subscribers in distant parts who sometimes receive their copies too late to be of service for the first lesson of the month. Notice also the addition to our Sunday School department, m the black board drawings and suggestions by Mr. Ernest GL Hansel! Mr. Hansell has been a teacher of this line of work in the Bible Institute for some time and we urge teachers to make use of his suggestions.
