How to Conduct the Review A review should be a review, not an entirely new lesson, therefore we have reprinted the Titles, Scriptures, and Golden Texts, as above, for the Lessons to be reviewed. We have alsp printed the passage of Scripture assigned by the Lesson Committee. 1. To review the lessons of the Quar ter, let the teacher, at least one week in advance (two weeks is better) assign one lesson to each student, if the class has at least twelve mmbers. If there are not so many students, give some student more than one lesson. Ask each person to prepare a three minute written paper on the lesson assigned. Insist on its being written, and warn the writers that you will time them and stop each one when time is up. If any one comes prepared to talk on the lesson instead of reading the paper do not allow it. As a rule the time will be wasted. 2.

The relation of God. the believer to 2. The relation of the Lord Jesus Christ. the believer to 3. The relation of fellow-believers. the believer to 4. The relation of sin. the believer to 5. The relation of the world. : the believer to If' these five shafts are sunk, and worked, the mine will yield rich treas- ure, and will at the same time stimu late individual research.
