"LESSON FOR MARCH 28
REVIEW.
READING LESSON—Nehemiah 9:26-31.
GOLREN TEXT-Righteousness exalt
oth a nation; but sin is a reproach to any
people.—Prov. 14:34.
According to Professor Beecher the
extent of the period we have been
studying during the last quarter is
832 years, from the death of Joshua
B. C. 1434 to the reign of Saul, which
began B. C 1102. Though other
chronologists may differ slightly, this
is approximately correct.
We may roughly divide this period
into the republic of God and the king-
dom of man. In the first section we
studied the period of the Judges,
Barak, Gideon, Samson and Samuel;
one prophetess, Deborah; also the
priest Eli and his sons; Samuel and
Ahiah; and Ruth, who was .an ances-
tress’ of our great high. priest. In
the second section we considered Saul
the king, and a prince, Jonathan,
Saul’s son While the lessons may
thus be roughly divided, yet we fee!
that a general review of the charac
ters and the principal lesson to be
learned from each will perhaps he the
There are four things to be said
about each character and his relation
to the events occurring in Israel: (1)
The people had departed from God;
there was disobedience and a reli
glous decline. (2) God permitted on
the part of Israel's enemies oppression
that finally became unbearable. (3)
There was repentance on the part of
the people and an appeal to God for
help. (4) God raised up a judge who
“saved” the people and threugh this
judge wonderful acts were performed
showing his power and the favor
which rested upon Tsraell The adult
classes can profitably discuss such
questions as, “Why Moe the vob le: 80

did their repentance so quickly lead
to their deliverance?” “How did God

government have?” Doetor Torrey
suggests a profitable form of review,
viz; "a ‘doctrinal’ review: a i
t ns of
hat Er be all and the So
Spirit; (2) The preview, types and
manifestations of the Lord Jesus;
(3) The teaching about sin and the
particular sins mentioned; and (4)
The teachings about the word of God.
Of course to do all this, or to follow
any part of these suggestions wil: de-
mand that much work shall be as-
signed in advance and that great care
shall be exercised to make any one
of these lines a connected and inter-
esting whole. Above all, beware of
attempting too much lest the schol-
ars become confused.
If someone can be secured who is
moderately successful in using the
blackboard an interesting review can
be presented to younger scholars by
making a drawing presenting a “hall
of fame,” with panels for Deborah,
Gideon, Ruth, Samuel and Jonathan.
Another drawing may, by comparison,
be termed the ‘rogues’ gallery,” and
may have in it panels for Samson, Eli,
Eli’s sons, and Saul. Then tell, as
simply as possible, the salient points
in the history of each and show how
God approved or disapproved of their
lives; which were used, and which
set aside. Any school can have be-
fore it on a chart or a blackboard the
following:
The lessons, chief persons,
facts are given in order.
1. Joshua, Iraelites, Judges; a great
patience. 2. Deborah, Barak, Sisera;
a great deliverance.. 3. Gideon, Ange!
of Jehovah; a great call. 4. Gideon,
The Three Hundred; a great test
5. Manoah, Samson; a great failure
6. Naomi, Ruth, Orpha; a great re-
chief
solve 7. Eli, Samuel, Jehovah; =a
great vision. 8. Philistines, Israelites,
Eli; a great capture. 9. Samuel; a
10. Samuel, Saul; a
great. honor. ‘11. Nahash, Saul; a
great rescue. 12. Jonathan, Armor-
bearer; a great hero.
If written work is asked for be car
ful not to assign too much and, as f
as possible, assign different tasks to
individuals of a given class.
It would be an inspiration to have
a number of girls of the early teen
age eaclr to read a brief essay on one
of the female characters of the past
quarter's lessons, also to have a num-
ber of boys selected to do the same
for each of the important male char-
scters we have studied.
