Whill' abovl' shows body of the work. there will b.. also many othol' features such as questions. map and chart wOI·k. and marklnjfs on various passajfes not otherw!so covered. Also "ach Fl'lday evening shol·t recitlltions on subjects previously assillne.!. This will 00 fOI' pI'lIctice lind developinlf of talent. Let it be noted that while this schedule is fOI' complet.. couI·se. yet verl satisfadol'y subdivisions come. First. two equal divisions 0 time for the two Testaments. Likewise. the two·w,oek periods stop at appl'Opriate places. FOl' Instanco. the ftl'llt two weeks cover the Pentateuch. Next jfet the history and 18Iliah. while the next get all the followinjf O. T. prophecies. And in the New Testanwnt. ftl'st two weeks get the Gospels and Al'ts. next the epistles to Philemon. last jfet fl'Om Hebl'ews to end. And so while it is always Ildvlsable to take the entire course. congl'ejfations that cannot do so may choose that part of the coul·se. from one week up. that is consid"l'ed most needed 01' most desirable at the time.
