THE SABBATH SCHOO.
A New Program for Family Study.
Al of our schools as far as we have been a ble to learn
whieh adopted the program for. family study were so
well pleased with the results that we have decided to. -
continue the plan this quarter, and have accordingly
arranged a program suited to-the present lessons. A
number of these have been sent to each school in the
State so that each family may receive a copy. Should
any fail to receive one if they will let us know we will
supply them at once.
"Phere ure many advantages to be gained by a daily
‘systematic study cf the lessons. In order to gain the
best results each one engaged in the study should have
his Bible and tura to the references, that the location
on tho page may be observed and be fixed in mind.
This mids greatly in becoming familiar vith the Bible
and also impresses the lssson more clearly on the mind.
All may take turns in reading the answers to the ques
tions and thus all, even the little ones will have an in-
terest in the exercises.
If only ten texts are committed to memory each
week, and wore can easily be, we should have 520 pree-
jous passages of Scripture stored up in our minds at
the end of the year. I am afraid that is more than
| mawy of ushave done in the past. :
. Irssons learned in this way are certainly fixed in
mind and longer remembered than they ever can be if
studied one or even two hours at the end of th week.
, Some object to this plan as taking too ‘much time.
‘But if we wait until we have plenty of time, Satan will
gen to it that we never have any more time than we
have now. co a oo .

this kind of study and their influence over them will be

the children but they can never do the ‘work of the
