Perhaps the best way to review the lessens of this quarter will be to take the several lessons and note their hear - :lug on the subject chosen for .review; namely: What it means to he a Chris- tian. In order to get the best results, 'assignment should be n,'tde of the sev feral lessons to different parties to come 'prepared to give the teaching of the Varllcular lesson on tire subject. The following is suggested as a possible sway of presenting the matter. Lesson 1, It means. that each indi- vidual must exercise faith in Jesus Christ as a personal Savior. One may have his heart opened by the Lord 'while'1lstenfng to the Word of God at a stated meeting, like Lydia,- or be convinced through the manifestation of the mighty power of God, as the Philippian jailer. In all cases it is ;the one Savior and the One faith, Lesson 11. it means that those who have really exercised faith in the Lord Jesus Christ will attentively read God's 1Vord, Even a great statesman like the Ethiopian Eunuch will be blessed 1n its 'rending, for the Word of God -converts the sou], snakes wise the aim- lple, puts gladness Into the heart, en- lightens the eyes, satisfies the long- ing soul, warns against dangers, and brings reward to those who obey Its ,. ,precepts, Ats, Lesson I11. It means a life of per - ',tonal prayer and communion with God. The one who has become a child of God has the glorious privilege of corn - Ins to him with his needs with the as !surance that God -will supply them. :God isrnore willing to give to his chit- ,dren than any earthly father is to his (children, Lesson IV.

Peter, Andrew, .,lames and John obeyed, and It meant Ito then great spit•Itna1 blessings. From (dishing for fish, they were promoted, to tushing for Men, Obedience to God ipnys. The disciple of Christ will treas. ,tire op his Words. Lesson V, It means growth In grate, Jesus himself grew in wisdom and in •atnture, and in raver with Clod and ;pan.. Merely accepting Christ is not +haottgh ; there must be growth. season vi. 1c means a ate or neip- fulness to others, One who has been made aartaker of the Divinenature p will like his 1 s master, give himself 1 toothers. helpful service willbe pBeHe a aelghbor to the needy and unfortunate, oven as the Good Samaritan. Being reed In himself, he will be doing good to others. He will use every opportu- atty to do good. Lesson VII. It means attendance at the place of worship, receiving the teaching of the Word o1 God, partak- ing of the communion, and rendering service In some capacity in the church, Lesson Vill. It means confessing Christ before men, and wafting with expectant trope for the corning of Je- sus Christ from Heaven. The grand Incentive for faithfulness in witness. Ing for 'hrist Is the assurance that be -will come again. Leeson IX, It menns that we will give of our posseseions to the poor and needy, love our enemies, and refrain from censorious judgment. God esti- mites our gifts, not by their size but by what we have left, Leeson X. It means thnt one will strive to conquer his evat propensities, not allow covetousness to master him es did Ahnb, and separate himself from those who wnlk in darlcness. Re will exercise great emotion lest he be- come overcome by the devil. Lesson XI. It means being holy and true, In order that we may preserve from corruption the great mass of men and, enlighten those in darkness, preaching the Gospel to every crea- ture, conscious that the presence and power of Christ win abide. Lesson XII. It means that every talent entrusted to ns will be put to use, so that when the Lord comes we Can make an account to him which will eocure his commendation and reward.
