Where ought Jesus to be? _Ans._ In the heart.
Where did he get his name? _Ans._ From the angel. (Matt. i. 21.)
Why was this name given? _Ans._ (Matt. i. 22.)
How does he save from sin? _Ans._ "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ."
Other points of instruction and application may be derived from the
careful study of the above arrangement.
The following, by E. D. Jones, of St. Louis, teaches a lesson from
the text, John xii. 32: "And I, if I be lifted up from the earth,
will draw all men unto me." _First_, Notice the influences God uses
to draw men: 1. The Holy Spirit. 2. The Bible. 3. The Churches.
_Secondly_, Look at their relations: 1. As a Helper. 2. As a Teacher.
3. As a Trainer. _Thirdly_, Look at the chief work of these agents:
1. To Reveal. 2. To Believe. 3. To Know. 4. To Train. At the close of
the address or lesson the blackboard will appear as follows:
[Illustration: Cross.]
Two hearts, one bad, the other good, make an instructive lesson. Get
the children to tell you what to write in them as below:
_Bad Heart._ _Good Heart._
Anger. Hate. Love. Hope.
Selfishness. Joy. Humility.
Covetousness. Industry.
Hypocrisy. Honesty.
Lying. Peace.
Sin.
Still another is the following: "Jesus is your friend." What
qualities do you want in a friend? _Answer._ He must be TRUE. Write
the word TRUE on the board, and then by questioning draw out of the
scholars four different and prominent characteristics of Jesus as a
friend, each answering to one of the letters of the word _True_, as
follows:
_Jesus is your Friend._
T--ried.
R--ich.
U--seful.
E--verlasting.
The Parable of the Sower may be taught by the following arrangement
in three columns and twelve words or particulars. The children give
the words to fill the columns:
The Soil. What became of the Seed. Represented what Hearers.
Wayside. The Devil seized it. Careless.
Stony. The sun scorched it. Superficial.
Thorny. Tares choked it. Worldly.
Good. Fruit. Pious.
The lesson, "Son, go work to-day in my vineyard," may be thus
arranged:
Who?--"Son,
What?--go work
When?--to-day
Where?--in my vineyard."
How work? _Answer:_ W--illingly.
O--rderly.
R--egularly.
K--indly.
The next three examples are from Rev. J. H. Vincent's blackboard
exercises:
_History of Joseph._
