The Sabbath-School Index: Pointing out the history and progress of Sunday-schools, with approved modes of instruction.
Pardee, R. G. (Richard Gay)
Sunday schools
The great leading principle of the system is to teach _the use of
knowledge_--not to communicate information merely, but to train the
young, by certain definite rules, to _make use_ of all the information
they receive. The first lesson here given is for younger classes; the
second for more advanced:
_Lesson No. 1._
_As taught by the "Gall Lesson System."_
(Matt. viii. 1-3.)
"When he was come down from the _mountain_, great _multitudes
followed_ him. And _behold_, there came a _leper_ and _worshipped_
him, saying, Lord, if thou _wilt_ thou _canst_ make me _clean_. And
Jesus _put forth_ his hand, and _touched_ him, saying, I will; be
thou _clean_. And _immediately_ his _leprosy_ was _cleansed_."
Who came down from the mountain? From what did Jesus come down? What
happened when Jesus came down from the mountain? Who followed him?
Whom did the multitudes follow?
Who came to Jesus? To whom did the leper come? What did the leper do
when he came to Jesus? Whom did the leper worship? When did the leper
worship Jesus? What did the leper call Jesus? Whom did the leper call
Lord? What did the leper say? If who would? What could Jesus do if he
would? What did the leper say Jesus could do? Who could make him
clean?
What did Jesus do? Who put forth his hand? What did Jesus put forth?
What did Jesus do when he put forth his hand? Who touched him? Whom
did Jesus touch? When did Jesus touch the leper? What did Jesus say?
Who would? What was the leper to be? Who said he was to be clean?
What happened when Jesus said he was to be clean? What was cleansed?
Whose leprosy was cleansed? When was the man's leprosy cleansed? By
whom was the man's leprosy cleansed?
How many circumstances are mentioned in this passage? (Nine.) What is
the first? (_Multitudes followed Jesus when he came down from the
mountain._) What does that teach you? _Lesson._--We should follow
Jesus, and take every opportunity of receiving his instructions.
What is the second circumstance here mentioned? (_A leper came to
Jesus to be healed of his leprosy._) What does that teach you?
_Lesson._--We should apply to Jesus the Saviour to be healed of the
leprosy of sin.
What is the third circumstance mentioned in this passage? (_The leper
worshipped Jesus._) What does that teach you? _Lesson._--We should
worship the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God and our only Saviour.
What is the fourth circumstance here mentioned? (_The leper doubted
the willingness of Christ to cure him._) What does that teach you?
_Lesson._--We should never doubt the willingness of Christ to do us
good and to save our souls.
What is the fifth circumstance mentioned in this passage? (_The leper
expressed his faith in Christ's ability to cure him._) What does that
teach you? _Lesson._--We should cherish in our hearts a firm belief
of Christ's ability to save us to the uttermost.
