THE SUNDAY SCHOOL rrm Iho Now York Ulxortor. INTERNATIONAL LEBBONB. • t HIT SSSST ■ USOIT, D. D. MARCH 30. Review. (Iur nd suttVr reproach, because we trust in the living God who is the Savi our of all men, spot ially of those tliat believe.—l Timothy 4:10. No part of our Sunday school studies are of more importance than the re vio*s. And certainly once a quarter ia seldom enough to pause and look over the ground which has h* en traversed. In his college days Daniel Webster be gan to inske studies of his readings. Having perused a page or paragraph, he would lose the hook and recall what he had red. In that way he would make sure that he understood it, ami would also fix it in his memory. If teachers and scholars would adopt a similar method in preparing their week ly !• ssons, their gains in religious knowl ,-dge would l> much greater and more enduring. It would then be an easy m.lter to master the quarterly reviews. Toe lessons of the quarter now con cluded are a continuation of those of the first half of lsst )ear, and began win re we th<-n left oIF. 'I his quarter, Itowev. r, we have alternated, with pleas ure and profit, between the Arts and P*ul' earlier Epistles ; Kpistles written about the time of the events narrated in the current lessons from the Acts. Our first lesson was The Conference at Jerusalem. While I'aul and Barnabas were rest ing and teaching at Antioch, after the completion of th< ir first missionary journey, a threatening controversy arose in the church. The result wa* a general meeting for consultation at Jerusalem. The question was whether circumcision wits necessary in order to salvation ; the decision of which is of iui|>ortance to us, imtsmuch as it liears upon all religi ous rites and observances. The sum of that decision was that while rites and forms may have their uses, salvation is all cf grace, and Christ is our only and all-sufficient Saviour. I >ur second lesson was Hearing and Iknng. Tuis was in the general Epistle, sd- Ireoied hy James,'the son of Alpheus, to Christian Jews wherever they might he scattered abroad. The main point of the lesson was that the word of truth is one of God's good and perfect gifts to men ; but that it is not enough to be hearers of this word. We are also to lie doers of it. The forgetful hearer de rives from it no abiding benefit. Our third lesson was The Pouter ef the Tongue. Few passages are more searching than ibis, in which we learn the power and perils of speech; how much harm may t>e done by careless or wicked words; ind bow absolntely necessary is divine grace in order to any Christian control of that "little member" which no man. unaided, can ever tame. < hir fourth leeson was Living in bWi Sight. In this we were reminded that right living includes a right attitude toward • iod, right conduct toward men, and a right ordering of worldly affairs. Sub ( mission of heart and life to God, kiodly -pcech about others, and the remem brance of the shortness and uncert inty of time, are all included in it. Our fifth leeson wo PauCl Second Missionary uour.,eg. This grew out of a proposal of Faul to Harnahas that they re visit the churches already planted and see how they did Hut some differen. e between them re -lilted in a separation, which, however, proved ■ gain, inasmuch as there were now iwo missionary bands instead of one. In this we saw the importance ot following up a good work well begun; ad the good use God sometimes makes of the imperfection* ot his servants. hut sixth leeson wa* The Conversion of l.ydia In a vision Paul had seen a man of Niacedooia and heard from him a great •ry for help. In tins lesson we have the beginning of his response to that cry. It has brought him to Philippi- For the first time tha feet of a Christian missionary stand on the soil of Ruro|i. It is sgreat step in advance. And here lie A postlestraightwav begins to gather Iruit. of which Lydia, a seller of purple, was the first. A* she heard the word, the Lord opened her heart. It remind -d us that we must take care not to shut the ear to truth, and not to keep the heart closed when God would open it. ffiir seventh less n was T%4 Contersmn of the .Jailer. Because Paul healed a poor slave girl, whose soothsaying brought her Bits tars much gain, he was east into priaau. Hut God was with him there, and helped him and Sitae to singsongs in tbnnight. . One groat result of this imprisonment >vns (he awakening, followed by the con version of the jailor. Paul's answer to hia eager inquiry ; "Sirs, what shall I do to be saved," all children and youth should rt-member. It tells us how sim. pi", 11 one really in earnest, Ihe way of salvation is. Our eighth lesson was Thessa/onians and Parentis. From Philippi, Paul and Silas went on down to Thesaalonics, and thence to Bt-rea. There were aom converts at the first of these two places, hut more at the second. We sll rememlv r the praise which was bestowed on the Jews at the Utter place. "These were more noble than those at Thcssalonieu and we should not forget in what the noble ness was said to consist. The reader -hould turn to the chapter and verse (Aots 17 : II,) and fix the words in inind. Our ninth lesson was Paul at Athens. This was a famous city, the intillec tual capital th> n of the whole world. But it was | roud of its culture, and full of idolatry ; and when Paul spoke of a day of judgment, and told how Christ had t>een raised from the dead, they would not listen longer. Some mocked, some-put him off and promised to hear him again, hut a few believed. How much was this like what we often see ! There sre these same three cla*-s in roost places; the mockers,the procrasti na'ors, and those who hear and heed and are saved. Our tenth lesson wa* Paul at Corinth. This wa* a giest commercial city, prosperous, full of trad rs from ail parts of the world. But it was also very wicked. Nevertheless Paul burl some success there, showing that bad place* sre never hopeless. It wns there that Paul found Aquila and I'riscilla, lent mak- i* like himself; snd there that the Jews so opposed him that he turned to the Gentiles; and there that Gallic, brother of the famous philosopher Seneca, helped him by driving those who accused him, from the judgment seat, lie stayed a long time, a year and a half, at Corinth. Our eleventh lesson was Jhe Coming of the lord. This was a jairt of Paul's tir*t K*> : e to the converts be had gathered at Thessalonica. It was written from Co. rinth. The occasion of the letter was some things he had heard of what was transpiring there. Some thought ' brist was coming at once, and so left off work : others were troubled for their friends who might die before Christ should come Their tear was that these friends would miss the glory and blewsing of > that coming. Paul's words were full of ; <-omfort and of admonition. He told tbeut that their friends, who might die, would certainly appear with Christ when he should coroc ; that they should not trouble themselves about the lime or season of bis ap|>earance; and that their main duly was to "watch and be sober," always full of faith, live and hope. Our twelfth lesson was (yhnetian Ihhgenv. i Paul soon learned that the Tb**n ! lonian Christians did not heed what fe had written them, as they should. This led him to write s second letter from Corinth: full of affectionate interest and instruction in gospel truth. But it also contained some sharp command* Tbrse last bad particular reference to those retles* persons who had stopped working, and not only burdened oih feet.
