| ‘With the exception of the temper-
ance lesson, all the lessons of the quar-
“jer have to do with the death and res-
murrection of our Lord. In the first
‘quarter we considered Jesus as the
great Teacher; in the second, he is
presented chiefly ‘as the seeking
Savior; in the third, we observed him
as he acted in judgment upon Israel |-
THE MAN WHO RULES THE WORLD TODAY
_ and sin; in this last, he is seen in his
supreme office as Savior and king. The
king of love, he is also the world’s |
Savior. Deny him his kingship, sefuse
of which he is the head and we bring
upon ourselves the condemnation of a
righteous judgment. This past quar-
ter particularly reveals him in that
final ministry which resulted in the
~ “* initiation of the new enterprise of pro-
claiming his gospel, to the end that
his kingdom shall be established. We
shall consider the lessons under four
headings:
Story of Love.
I. Those of Preparation for His Pas- |
sion. These embrace the first three
lessons. (1) In the first, we have the
utiful story of the love which
ointed him for burial, which he ac-
dnd immortalized. This was
use of the greatness of the
t because of the appreciation of
and of his words. (2) Here
erve him presiding over and in-
that lasting memorial, the
lic feast, wherein the old passes
and the new dispensation is
d in. (3) In the third lesson we
with awe the agony of the gar-
den wherein he dedicated himself to
the coming suffering, “Not as I will,
but as thou wilt”—absolute surrender
and delight in the Father's will.
Il. Those That Preceded His Pas-
sion. These next flve 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,
#0) Who betrayed his Lord and “Friend”
ed by 2 a.
ere we see the utter ruin
oul which chose private ambition
nstead of fellowship with Jesus. (5)
This is a presentation of the greatest
~@nd most appalling travesty of justice
the' world has ever seen. Humanity
never descended to any lower depths,
yet he is serene, calm, dignified and
strong. (6) The Temperance Lesson.
(7) This lesson considers the heart-
(8) This
is the story of the ignoble failure of a
weak, vacillating, time-server.
Story of the Cross. |
fil. His Passion. (9) This brings
us to the story of the cross itself, as
considered in this sequence of lessons.
Before that awe-inspiring, wonder-
.. Creating event we stand with bared
“head. Here si®was unmasked and did
its utmost. Her also we behold grace
unveiled and active. !
IV. The Post-Passion Lessons. We
are mow in a new atmosphere and
light, a new glory is to be seen. (10) !
In this lesson we behold the empty
tomb, for “He could not be holden of
death.” We share with them the glori-
ous, the joyful consciousness that he
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
18 a glorious fact, that of the literal,
bodily resurrection of Christ from
among the dead. Hallelujah! (11) In |
@on eleven this same thought is
again emphasized and with the sugges-
tion of its accompanying obligation, in
that “we are witnesses of these
things.”
In “Tarbell’'s Teachers’ 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 to re
call the lessons, as follows:
(1) Let her alone (2) For
ye have the poor (3) Where-
soever this gospel shall be preached
(4) Verily I say unto you,
(5) For the Son of Man
. (6) This is my blood
. XN. (D Take ye (8) My
soul is. . (9) Father, all things
- + . (10) Watch and (11)
My God, my (12) Why seek
ye . . . (13) Ye shall be my
These phrases may be written upon
cards or slips of paper and distributed
to classes or individuals, the entire
sentence to be recited when called for.
It would also be well to make men- .
tion of the two years’ work in the
Synoptic Gospels. Define what the
gospel is (I Cor. 15:14), what the
word synoptic means, and wherein
these Gospels differ from the Fourth ,
Gospel.
Drill the school in giving book and
chapter of the following: The Lord’s
Prayer, the parable of the good Samar-
itan, the mustard seed, the leaven,
tbe prodigal son, the great command-
nent, the last supper, Gethsemane,
the trial of Jesus, the crucifixion, the
resurrection, the great commission,
the ascension.

ER name was Philippa, a roya!
name for such a very small,
poor English maid, but she
had always been called “Flip,”
and she lived in Duchess row. Duchess
row makes you think of something
stately and grand; but, alas, here it
meant just a row of narrow, grimy
houses standing in a dark and dreary
street, where tbe sunshine never seem:
ed to come—a place of poor people in
the heart of toiling London. Filip lived
at ® Duchess row with ter mother. a
widow. They had the topmost room of
the house, and of all the poor people
in Dnchess row I do not think any
were quite as poor as Flip's mother,
who had to work day and night to earn
a scanty living by making buttonholes
in coats and waistcoats for a ready
made clothes warehouse. It was a hard
life for the two, but Flip possessed a
brave and stanch little heart beneath
her threadbare frock and when she
came out of school each afternoon
would sit until her eyes were burning
and her poor little fingers raw and
aching, belping her mother.
And it was so she sat one afternoon
a week before Christmas day trving to
catch the last gleams of murky day-
light which came through the window

of their room. [t was a bitterly cold,
cheerless day. not a typical Christmas
with frost and snow. but leaden skies
and a biting east wind made all folks
shiver and long to be home by a cozy
fireside. But fires are a luxury in
Duchess row, and there was but scant
warmth ir the room where Flip and
her mother sat, working hard.
“If we can get these finished tonight
you can run out with them, an’ when
vou come back we'll ‘ave 8 bit more
coal. an’ I'V git 9 bit of fish from
round the corner. an’ you shall ’ave a
nice ’ot sunper, deary,” said the pale
mother with a loving look.
“That'll be just splendid,” replied
Flip, “an’ then we’ll set before the
fire, an’ you'll tell me about them rea!
Christmases you used to ’ave when yon
were a girl.”
“I don’t lke talking of them days”
said the mother with a sigh as she fold:
ed up the last bit of work. *’Ere youn
are, deary. Jest put op yer ‘at an’ run
with these.” And in another minute
or two the light little figure, laden with
8 large bundle, was speeding up the
great husy thoroughfare
Sometimes, with all the good will in
the world. the constant journeying to
the warehouse seemed to her long and
an’ presents! Fancy if 1 could give
mother a present! I know what I'd
like to give 'er—one of them cases to
‘old needles and thimble an’ a bodkin
which I saw at "Amilton’s bazaar. Bnt
it ain’t much good wishing.” And
here her reflections ceme to an end, for.
she found herself at the warehouse.
She had soon delivered her parcel to
the fat manageress and received the
poor payment due and, threading her
way cleverly back through dusty cor-
ridors and down winding stairs, soon
found herself in the jostling street
again. She turned her footsteps home,
when a gleam of something bright on
the dirty pavement caught her eve, |
She bent down. It waRn't—no—yes, it
was—a stlver sitpence! She picked it |
up. Could such luck be true? A sliver
sixpence found on the ground and
therefore her very own, to do what she
liked with!
“Why, now ll be able to git mother
a real Christmas present. It's jest like
a fairy tale,” she thought. her blue
eyes shining with excitement, “an’ I
know what I'll buy, an’ I'll git it, too,
before I go ome, cause it won't take
ms a minit.” ,
Hamilton's bazaar was nc® very far
away, and, sure enough, in five minutes
Flip was gazing steadily in at the bril-
liantly decked and lit window at a i
needlecase in red velvet and gold, an
article which for all its gorgeousness
was marked but fivepence three far-
“I want a needlecuse with a thimble
an’ a bodkin an' a reel of cotton, like
them up there.” said Flip. with all the
dignity of a possessor of wealth,
“Well, you must wait a bit!" snapped
the assistant, turning to another cus-
tomer, a stout, cheery looking man,
accompanied by two rosy, well dressed
children. i
“l bin waitin’ a long time. Why
can’t you git me one down?’ replied
Flip, with the perseverance of the
east end child.
The girl impatiently detached one of
the needlecases.
“Where is your money?" she asked.
“'Kre, of course. Wot d’yer think?"
said Flip, handing her the coin.
The saleswoman took it, looked at
it once carelessly, again narrowly.
“Why.” she exclaimed, “this is not a
sixpence at all-it is only an imitation
one!” And, turning quickly, she beck-
oned the tall, imposing looking shop-
walker, who stood near. “This child is
trying to pass false money,” she said
&s she gave him poor Flip's treasure
trove,
He examined it and then, taking hold
of the child's thin arm, said:
“Come, come; where did you get
this money from? Tell the truth
now.”
Flip’s face went red and then very
white. She did not realize or under-
stand her offense. She only knew that
if the sixpence was bad she could not
buy the dearly coveted gift. Her heart
seemed ready to break, and she burst
into a flood of tears as she sobbed out:
“I found it in the street—it’s true, it
is. But I can’t buy the present now.”
The shopwalker hesitated. and then
the cheery looking customer who had
been waiting his turn to be served
broke in by saying in a voice that
had a strong country twang in it:
“Don’t you cry, lassie. You don’t
mean any harm, I guarantee. Let me
see that coin,” he continued, turning
to the shopwalker, who did as he was
desired, for he was being addressed
by an old and valued customer. :
“Well, I don’t know,” said the
cheery man. “It is not a sixpence, 1
agree, but it is a half sovereign and a °
very good cne too.” And in the twin-
kling of an eye he had deftly exchang-
ed the imitation sixpence for a gold
coin from his waistcoat pocket.
“There, my lass, take your money
and run home.”
Was it a dream? Flip pinched her
self when she was In the chill streets
again. No, it was all true—a happy
reality to find a bad sixpence and then
see it transformed into a goiden half
sovereign. She had forgotten the vel-
vet needlecase; she had but one thought
wearv, but tonight her thoughts of
Christmas wade her forget ali fatigne. |
“Ow lovely it wonid be” she |
