Two methods of review may be em
ployed to. advantage.
1. Character Study. Assign the out
standing heroes of the quarter’s les
sons to members of the class ami have
them to report. This assignment must
be made the week previous, e. g. Eze
kiel, the prophet of God; Daniel, the
statesman; Ezra, the teacher of God’s
word, etc.
2. Summary of Contents. This is a
good method at all times. It can be
adapted to different grades. The fol
lowing is a suggested method:
Lesson I, Before Ezekiel was com
missioned ns a prophet he was given
a vision of the Almighty. After that
he was given an experimental knowl
edge of God’s word —he ate the book—
digested and appropriated its contents.
An experimental knowledge of ’God's
word is essential.
Lessen 11. Because Daniel besought
the Lord he was able to make known
the king's dream and interpret it. “If
any man luck wisdom, let him ask of
God (Jas. 1:5).
Lesson 111. While Belshazzar and his
lords were engaged in drunken revelry
a mysterious hand recorded Divine
judgment. There is a day coming
when men shall be judged. Happy is
the man who has fled to Christ, for to
such there is no judgment (John 5:24).
Lesson IV. Daniel's sterling worth
brought him to the front —he was ele
vated to be prime minister of the Per
sian empire. Moved by jealousy cer
tain wicked men plotted his downfall.
Because of a flawless record in busi
ness they trumped up a charge against
him on the ground of his foreign re
ligion. Though the king executed the
foolish decree Daniel was delivered
and his accusers were cast into the den
of lions and destroyed.
Lesson V. Though Israel went into
captivity as a chastisement of the
i Lord, in due time He recovered them.
i God s covenant and judgments are
i sure. He can move a to
freely fulfill His own good pleasure
!- and purpose. *
Lesson VI. In the restoration of the
people to their own land, the first thing
necessary was the provision of a place
; for the worship of God'. As soon as
i this work was begun, violent opfiosl
| tion was in evidence. That which God
i sets out to do 'shall be completed,
I though all hell oppose.
Lesson VII. Haman’s wicked plot
against the Jews was frustrated by
Esther’s shrewdness and courage.
Those who plot against and hate God’s
covenant people shail be brought to de
struction.
Lesson VIII. Through Zerubbabel the
■ people were brought back and estab
lished In their own land, but they had
| gone far away from God. There was
now need of a religious leader. Ezra
j was moved by the Spirit of God to lend
I them back to fellowship. Because
Ezra sought the Lord his way was
j prospered. Success always comes to
i those who trust God.
Lesson IX. When Nehemiah heard
of the distress of his brethren at Je
' rusalem, he took the matter to the
; Lord in prayer. Their sorrow and dis
i tress was his sorrow and distress. Is
any afflicted, let him pray (Jas. 5:13).
Lesson X. Wlien Nehemiah began
■ the rebuilding' of the walls of .Jeru
salem he encountered violent oppo'sl-
j tion from without and from within.
His faith in God moved him to go
I straight on with the work and he had
the joy of seeing the work completed.
Lesson XI. The method used in
: bringing back the people to God was
the word of God. Because God’s word
was made plain to the people they
repented of their sins and rendered
I obedience to God.
Lesson XII. Malachi as an aid to
Nehemiah in effecting reforms pointed
out the sins of the people, viz: Base
Ingratitude, a corrupt priesthood,,
mixed marriages, robbing God by with
holding tithes, etc., pointing to a day
of judgment when righteous retribu
tion would be meted out to the wicked
and rewards would be given to the
faithful.

Beginning the Day.
If any man will come after Me, let
him deny himself, and take up his
cross, and follow Me. For whosoever
will save his life shall lose it and who
soever will lose his life for My sake
shall find it.
Sing With Grace in Your Hearts.
Let the word of Christ dwell in you
richly in'all wisdom; teaching and ad
juonishing one another in psalms and
hymns and spiritual songs, singing
With grace in your hearts to the Lord.
