The best BH fflel ||,i,| of review for senior and KB J.lult classes will he to refresh the 9 minds with the principal fuels anil 9 leading teachings of each lesson. 9 Th,, following suggestions are of ■ sered: 9 Lesson for April 5. 9 Tlte great supper represents <;,.i’s gracious provision of salva 9 son for mankind. The urgent invi--9 ration is extended to all to accept 9 Jrsus Christ as Savior. The mnk--9 Ing of excuses illustrates the sin 9 an ,| folly of men in rejecting God's 9 free grace. 9 Lesson for April 12. 9 I'G' resurrection of Jesus Christ 9 l> the supreme proof of the deity 9of Jesus Christ. The empty tomb 9 ’'he 'li'ine guarantee that Christ 9 »as what he claimed to be, anil 9 that his offering on Calvary's cross 9 was »ecepted b.v God. M| Lesson for April 19. H The center of interest In this parable Is not the prodigal son or his [ |,rather, but a certain man who had not SOUS. He who fails to see the heart of our Father God will miss the purpose of the parable. 'I he whole of revelation as It pertains to a sinning race and a pardoning God Is swept before us in this I narrative. Lesson for April 26. The story of tile rich man ami Uzarus gives us a look into two worlds. In this world the rich man lived in luxury while Lazarus begged at his door. In other words, their positions are reversed. Death is coming to rich and pour. Worldly condition Is not a test of man's relationship to God. The rich man I did imt go to Itell because lie was I rich, neither did Lazarus go to I heaven because be was poor. Lesson for May 3. Forgiveness is a Christian obligaM tlon. Humility is a Christian qmilM ity. Gratitude Is an uncommon M truce The nine lepers who were M healed failed to express gratitude M 10 tbe healer. ■ Lesson for May 10. B Prayer is an obligation on the ■ part of the believer. Spiritual ■ growth is absolutely impossible 9 without It. Men should pray under ■ all circumstances. ■ Lesson for May 17. ■ Zacchaeus brushed aside all difllS cultles In order to see Jesus. He ■ proved the reality of his conversion by making restitution. He was I saved Instantly upon receiving ! Jesus Christ. Salvation Is a pres ! wit reality to those who believe on Jesus Christ. Lesson for May 24. I Jesus warned against the scribes. They claimed to be loyal to the I Word of God yet showed their lack I of the saving grace of God. In conI neetkin with his teaching In the | temple, Jesus prophesied of his return and warned against unpre- | paredness as to his coming. Lesson for May 31. i The last meal that Jesus ate with lus disciples was the passover. the i Memorial of the national deliverance which pointed to the supreme deliverance to be effected by Christ i °n the cross of Calvary. In connec--1 tion with the passover, the feast of i <he new covenant uas Instituted, i This has a double import, looking | backward to the great deliverance , wrought through Christ's atoning b«ath and forward to the even greater deliverance which he shall | acc »inplisb at his second coming. Lesson for June 7. Jesus’ Indescribable agony In the Sflrden shows what it cost the sinl«ss Son of God to Identify himself w lth the sinning race when in anKUlsh he sweat as it were great firops of blood. Lesson for June 14. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ T as the greatest tragedy of all hislory. Mny the fact of the sinless Sot) of God suffering for a sinning a ra ce, move all sinners to accept sal ' ration at his hand. j Lesson for June 21. [ Jesus having given the disciples I the parting message to evangelize the world, ascended into heaven, these last words of our Lord be received by ns as our supreme obligation to take the gospel to every creature. The lessons of the entire quarter have been rich jn teaching material. •L faithful presentation of the Bible a e»ages given should mean converRton fo r some and growth in grace ,tor others.

One Life That Changed The Character Os Civilization In Swift Summary, Dr. Luke’s Biography Os Jesus is Revived, For Its Eftect Upon Human Needs I Strong Words From Statesmen.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS On March 19, of this year, a distinguished British statesman, the Marquess of Salisbury, arose in the House of London and said, along with much else to the same ! effect. “The cause of the world's state is not economic; the cause is moral .... What you want are God-guided personalities, which make God-guided nationalities, to make a new world. All the other ideas of economic adjustment are too small really to touch the center of the evil." . One month earlier, the President of the United States, in a radio address. had voiced the same conviction more impressively: “No greater thing could come to our land today than a revival of the spirit of religion—a revival that would sweep through the homes of the nation and stir the hearts of men and women of all faiths to a reassertion of their belief in God and their dedication to His will for themselves and for their world. I doubt if there is any problem—social, political, or economic—that would not melt away before the hire of such a spiritual awakening." As a spokesman for business, Mr. Roger B. Babson reiterated his of-ten-expressed view in these words: ‘‘l expect a business revival. But only a spiritual awakening among the people can make it enduring. Is The Tide Coming In? Such are current opinions upon the need of religion. On every hand are fresli signs of the truth of the words of Jesus, "And I, if 1 be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto Me." While men talk about "religion" they are really thinking of the power of Jesus, the great Changer of life for the past nineteen hundred years. Afresh, by this present Review of Luke's Biography of Jesus, which the millions of the Sunday Schools are studying this week, we are brought face to face with the power of Christ to meet human needs. In the light of what He has done, men are turning to Him as the only Deliverer adequate for the present emergency. More urgent than any of the questions currently debated in legislatures, congresses and parliaments is this one of whether tho spiritual tide of life is really rising. Are men and women, baffled in every other direction that, now turning to an expectation that religion will cure our national and international ills? Are they willing to pay the price for the leadership of Jesus Christ?

| earned and thoughtful persons in our day come to the conclusion which in his poem, Richard Watson Gilder attributes to a Roman centurion in Galilee, during the earthly ministry of Jesus? “If Jesus Christ is a man— And only a man, —I say That of all mankind 1 cleave to Him And to Him I will cleave alway. “If Jesus Christ is a god,— And the only God,—l swear I will follow Him through heaven and hell, The earth, the sea and the air!” The Friend of Man As we have followed Luke's narrative, througn the past six months we have seen the figure of Jesus emerge as a hiend of man. Luke ! has portrayed Him in His day-by-day relationships, meeting human needs of every sort. Jesus began His public life by being a helpful guest at a wedding; and throughout those crowded three years serv- . ed men and women in countless ways, small and great, from feeding their hunger to opening blind | eyes and deaf ears. The most sueicint biography of Jesus is, “He went about doing good." Let none of us be so stupid as to imagine ' i that social service as an expression of the religious life is a dis- | covery of the twentieth century, i Nobody can truly follow Christ I without seeking to meet the humi an needs that lie all about us. Ev- ■ ’ ery Mount of Transfiguration over- < looks a plain of suffering and min- : istery. rl Theological battles have raged ; for ages over the deity of Jesus. L Really, there has been less dangr er oi the world's losing faith in His Godhood than in His complete . humanity. His identification and . sympathy witn the everyday life • and needs of ordinary men is the truth about Jesus that is in peril i of being lost. Over and over again, i the Gospels call the divine Saviour . 1 "the Son of man "; the One who was at all points touched with the feeling of our common infirmities. The Hero Who Changed Things Our warrant for expecting that . Christ may intervene in the world’s , present difficulties is this truth of His nearness to mortal needs, and the precedent that He has already set. For has He not been the Hero who has changed the world in the years that have intervened . since He walked the earth in person? Slowly, throughout the centuries great changes have been effected in human society. The lot of the poor and of the slaves in the time of Christ should be contrasted with tne world today,‘wherein slavery is practically abolished, and the condition of the poor is a major issue in evey legislative body.

There were no hospitals or orphanages or old folks' i homes or child clinics. Prisons ■ were of a vileness indescribable; | and men could be thrust into them, I or suffer death, for a wide range lof offenses that we today deem i venial.

Nobody then questioned the propriety or permanence of war as an institution. The conceptions of international relations which we are today seeking to establish were then unthinkable. Gradually, —almost imperceptibly—the level of life has risen throughout the years and Jesus Christ has been the primary cause of this progress. He has wrought a change in the world, and He is still at work. To the news commentator of His day, the career of Christ seemed to have ended in shameful defeat, on a cross. But that very sacrifice has become the characteristic of Christianity, and its symbol is a cross. And lhe spirit of vicarious service, which is the Spirit of Christ, must reanimate today's needy world.
