Now, let us look at the verse, and see in what state or ... _condition_ the hart is supposed to be. Repeat it, if you please, each word, separately, slowly, and distinctly. "As, the, hart, panteth, after, the, water, brooks." What is a brook? _A clear stream_--not a muddy, stagnant ... _pool_. Do you think the hart had drank of a brook before? _Yes; else it would not have panted for it._ What makes the hart so very thirsty? _Because it runs about the hills, where there is no water._ And as the hart opens ... _its mouth_, and ... _pants for water_, and runs about, it raises the ... What do you think it raises? _The dust into its mouth._ And what does the dust do? _Increases its thirst_, and causes the hart to long more for ... _the brooks_--which are now ... _dried up_--or, perhaps, at a ... _great distance_. What would you expect the hart to do were it to reach a brook? _Drink plentifully_--and, also, ... _plunge into the water_. Why? _To cool_ and ... _refresh itself_. The application, or spiritual lesson, is by recalling the _hart_, on the _mountains_, _hunted by dogs_, _shot at by arrows_, _hot and thirsty_, _panting_ for _water brooks_, for a _plunge-bath_, and _drink_. So, David fleeing on the mountains for life, pursued by enemies, _longing_ for safety, and for the public worship of God at Jerusalem, _panting_ for the Lord's house, where _God's law_ was read, and the true God was worshipped, etc. He _desired, longed_ for, _panted_, _prayed_ for God, the living God. Children, do _you so long for_, and _pant after_ God, the living God? etc., etc. Another form of pictorial teaching is, after questioning the lesson out of the scholars, and then in again, and explaining all the words, etc., to paint imaginary pictures of the events described in the lesson. Thus, in a lesson from Matt. xiv. 22-33, taught by the Rev. Edward Eggleston, of Chicago, he said to the first pupil: "Carrie, suppose that you were a painter with your canvas before you, what picture would you draw from the 22d verse?" She replied, "Christ sending his disciples and the multitudes away." "Mary, what from the 23d verse?" "Christ on the mountain, alone, in prayer." "Jane, what from the 24th verse?" "The ship tossed with the waves." "Lily, what from verse 25?" "Jesus walking on the sea." The next, "Peter sinking, Jesus saving;" and then, "The sea calm, all safe in the ship, worshipping Jesus." From these the lessons drawn are "Secret prayer," "Looking to Jesus for help in danger," "Not seeking danger," and that "Jesus is God," to control the wind and waves. The doctrine is the Divinity of Christ: "Of a truth, thou art the Son of God." "Pictorial Teaching," by Hartley and Groser, on Illustrative Teaching, further illustrates these subjects. XIII.
