THE CORRELATED LESSON As the lesson for Christmas Sunday is not an integral part of the lessons to be reviewed to-day, it would be well to have a conversation with the children about the beautiful picture for the Christmas Lesson. Get them to express themselves freely concerning it. Ask to what they think Mary is listening, and in that way get from them the story of the angel’s message. It is an interesting fact for teachers to know that while one of the greatest charms of the picture as we have it is that it leaves the angel to the imagination and centers all thought and attention upon Mary, this effect is secured by leaving out half of the original painting in the reproduction. In the painting the garden is shown extending to the left and rear, and the angel is standing under the trees at some distance from Mary. It is evidently the consensus of opinion that the presence of the angel weakens the picture artistically, as it certainly does in teaching power, for most of the reproductions leave out that feature of the original. After the picture has been fully discussed and the story given by the children, have the memory text recited and ask how many read the Christmas story from the Bible. Give to each child a white strip to mark the place of the Christmas Story and another for the Song of Mary. See how many know the reference for the Christmas Story and drill upon it. LESSON 13 Review =Teacher’s Theme.=—Walking with God. Genesis 6:9; Proverbs 3:5, 6. See also Genesis 5:21-24; Isaiah 30:21; Amos 3:3; Hebrews 11:5; 1 John 1:6, 7; 2:6; Revelation 3:4, 5. LESSON PREPARATION Read over at one sitting, if possible, Genesis chapters 6-18, with the theme of this lesson uppermost in the mind. The story of Enoch has been used for the pupil’s book because it fits in so well with this theme, and because it is a name and a story that all children should know. It need not be introduced into this review, of course, but the reference is given as part of the study because Enoch is such a notable example of those who walked with God. LESSON PRESENTATION (Draw on a large sheet of paper a road with another branching off from it. Begin your lesson by telling of two persons starting out to walk together.) When they come to the parting of the roads one says, “I am going this way.” The other says, “I cannot go that way, for this is the only road that leads to the place to which I wish to go.” What must they do if they are to keep on walking together? Two cannot walk together unless they agree and are willing to go the same road. If one of the two must take this road and the other can take whichever he chooses, it is quite certain that the one who can choose will go with his friend if he really loves him and wishes to be with him.
