 School Union. " I wish to find all the comments on 
 the Good Samaritan." Being referred to a long row 
 of volumes, he began to search through them, to find 
 the treatment of the Good Samaritan. ''There is a 
 quicker way," he was told, and in three minutes he 
 was given a written list of six dates when that parable 
 was studied. "You have saved me three hours' 
 time," declared the visitor, gratefully. What helped 
 that visitor in manuscript may help many others in

fl SHORT HISTORY 
 
 OF THE 
 
 International Lesson System 
 
 j|HE system of International Sunday- 
 school Lessons, which has been in 
 continuous use for a generation, 
 and is studied by about fifteen 
 millions of persons, was the result of devout 
 thinking and a long and very practical experi- 
 ence. It is the culmination of many successive 
 systems of Biblical study, reaching back into 
 the eighteenth century. 
 
 EARLY SYSTEMS OF LESSONS. When the 
 modern Sunday-school movement began, the 
 best educators were groping their way toward 
 some solid and sensible theories of instruction. 
 Yet so confusing and contradictory were their 
 pedagogical theories, that such an acute 
 observer and thinker as Richter counted them 
 a jumble equal to any that could be exhibited 
 by a harlequin. 
 
 The earliest lessons in the modern Sunday- 
 school of the eighteenth century were devoted 
 to learning the alphabet, spelling, and reading 
 in the Bible. These seem crude to us now, 
 but they were no more primitive than methods 
 in secular schools. Then came the era of 
 memorizing and repeating portions of Script- 
 
 188250 3 
 
ure. Prizes and rewards were given to those 
 who committed to memory and recited the 
 greatest number of verses from the Bible and 
 from hymns. Though the sessions were some- 
 times two hours long, the time was all taken 
 in hearing often as many as three hundred 
 verses from one scholar at each week's session. 
 Xo explanations were attempted; the mind 
 was wholly occupied in memorizing the words, 
 not in grasping the sense. This was followed 
 by the question and story ("moral and relig- 
 ious") plan of instruction. Memoirs and 
 anecdotes of exceptionally pious youths, who 
 nearly all died young, were told and retold in 
 endless variety, and with marvelous ingenuity 
 of "moral applications." Meanwhile thought- 
 ful workers were finding their way to nature's 
 normal system of instruction. 
 
 LIMITED AND UNIFORM LESSONS. Systems 
 of Bible study upon the plan of "limited" or 
 "select" portions of Scripture had sprung up 
 in different parts of this country early in the 
 last century. The best features of these vari- 
 ous schemes were combined into one and 
 brought out by the American Sunday- School 
 Union between 1825 and 1830. Later, when 
 it was in extensive use, the National Sunday- 
 school Convention of 1832 heartily approved 
 the system. 
 
 This plan of "limited, uniform lessons" 
 marks the first great epoch in modern Sunday- 
 school instruction. Chancellor Isaac Ferris 
 declares: "It did more for the efficiency of 
 the Sunday-school than can be calculated." 
 This lesson scheme came to the front as the 
 result of testing various rival schemes, among 
 
which the "Gall" system, the "Lancastrian" 
 method of instruction and the "verse-a-day" 
 plan were prominent. The Moravians had 
 pursued the verse-a-day system, assigning the 
 same verse, on the same day, for meditation, 
 and had then kept up this plan year by year 
 for over a century. Possibly this may have 
 led the workers of 1825-1830 to conceive of 
 "uniform lessons," and to incorporate this dis- 
 tinct feature into their "limited-lesson" scheme. 
 
 The plan rapidly grew in popularity. To 
 enlist the widest and best talent in framing a 
 course of study in the Bible, the advice and 
 co-operation of about fifty prominent educa- 
 tors, including professors in theology and 
 in collegiate institutions, were sought and 
 obtained, to combine and revise the current 
 schemes and to prepare a more perfect system 
 of lessons. 
 
 As early as 1825 the American Sunday- 
 School Union had issued a tentative list of les- 
 sons on this plan, and the next year its friends 
 adopted this motto : "Every class to receive 
 instruction on the same lesson at the same 
 time." The "Union" then had over four hun- 
 dred auxiliary societies, located in every State 
 in the country. These societies made it a con- 
 dition of receiving benefits of membership that 
 their schools should adopt the "uniform- 
 lesson" plan of instruction. 
 
 These lessons were not "a mere string of 
 questions." They were issued in various 
 forms, the same Scripture texts being us^d 
 in all the forms. The popular form for 
 scholars was with "graded questions" of three 
 distinct grades, provided under the supervision 
 
of the distinguished educators before men- 
 tioned. 
 
 For teachers and advanced Bible classes, 
 expositions and "analytical notes," specially 
 prepared, were issued in the Union's Sunday- 
 School Journal and other periodicals of the 
 day; and "notes" were also issued in cheaply 
 bound books entirely separate and distinct 
 from the book of "Union Questions." 
 
 The aids for teachers in this early scheme 
 of uniform lessons were planned on a generous 
 scale. Several successive volumes as "helps" 
 were issued. The teacher's help to the first 
 year's course was on the Gospels, and con- 
 tained a "harmony of the Gospels, exercises, 
 illustrations, and practical lessons." The 
 "help" on each lesson covered several closely- 
 printed pages, the matter being classified under 
 five heads: I. The "narrative" or introduction 
 to the lesson, including its historical setting. 
 2. "Exercise" or a series of questions, to indi- 
 cate to the teacher some plan of instruction, 
 and how to avoid the sameness in the ques- 
 tions. 3. "Explanations" on all difficult 
 phrases, and verses requiring any exposition, 
 covering one to two or more pages. 4. "Illus- 
 tration" of the symbols, as in parables, and 
 similar lessons, which was often a more ex- 
 tended department of explanation than even 
 the previous head. 5. "Practical lessons." This 
 often occupied three or more closely-printed, 
 but orderly paragraphed, pages. These gave 
 the result of wide study, keen wisdom, and 
 broad applications of the truth to daily life. 
 
 These "helps" will compare favorably with 
 the latest up-to-date helps of now. 
 
These lessons thus selected by the advice 
 and approval of prominent educators, and put 
 forth with various "helps" of "graded ques- 
 tions" for scholars, "analytical notes" and 
 "explanations" for teachers, to which were 
 added maps, geographical and other illustra- 
 tive material, speedily gained a circulation of 
 over a million copies. It was computed that 
 these lessons were approved by about seven- 
 tenths of the entire number of Sunday-school 
 teachers in the United States. The authors of 
 this "limited-lesson" plan claimed that it was : 
 
 1 i ) A five years' course of Bible study. 
 
 (2) That it provided a uniform lesson for 
 every school, and for all grades of schools. 
 
 (3) It was accompanied by "graded ques- 
 tions" and by explanations, "Helps," "Union 
 and analytical notes" for teachers. 
 
 (4) It assigned quarterly reviews for each 
 year. 
 
 (5) It was proposed for national use in the 
 United States and in the Canadas. So great 
 was its success that the religious press of that 
 day reported it as "a new era in Sabbath- 
 school instruction." 
 
 TH REACTION. A reaction followed ; some 
 stronger schools thinking it sometimes better 
 to select a scheme of lessons year by year, par- 
 ticularly adapted to their own condition and 
 needs. Then, too, each denomination often 
 preferred to arrange a scheme of lessons 
 adapted to give instruction in the doctrines 
 held by its churches, as well as in those great 
 truths essential to salvation which are held in 
 
common with other denominations. Thus the 
 Protestant Episcopal and some other denomi- 
 nations still chiefly follow a denominational 
 scheme of Bible study. Hence there came a 
 period which Dr. H. Clay Trumbull and others 
 have characterized as the era of "Babel Series" 
 of Sunday-school lessons. 
 
 Several lesson schemes, however, came into 
 prominence after the Civil War, and attained 
 a wide, if not a national, reputation. Among 
 them were the "Series" issued in the National 
 Sunday-School Teacher, of Chicago, which 
 attained a national repute; the Teacher was 
 then edited by Edward Eggleston. Notes on 
 this "series" were issued in 1868 in the 
 Standard, a Baptist journal, the notes - in it 
 being prepared by B. F. Jacobs ; and soon after 
 three other Baptist journals, the Examiner and 
 Chronicle, New York; Watchman and Re- 
 flector, Boston, and The National Baptist, 
 Philadelphia, inserted notes on the same series 
 of lessons in their weekly issues. The Snnday- 
 School Times, Philadelphia, then edited by I. 
 Newton Baker, also issued notes on the lesson, 
 and the same Sunday-school lesson became the 
 topic for the Chicago Saturday-noon prayer 
 meeting, under the leadership of D. L. Moody. 
 These meetings were reported for the Advance, 
 Chicago, by M. C. Hazard, giving wide pub- 
 licity to the new scheme of lessons. 
 
 Meanwhile John H. Vincent, who had been 
 the editor of the Chicago Teacher, was called 
 to the head of the Sunday-school work in the 
 Methodist Episcopal denomination, and moved 
 to New York. He began what was known as 
 the "Berean Series" of Sunday-school lessons, 
 
which was used generally in that large denomi- 
 nation, and were also highly esteemed among 
 other churches, especially in the Eastern and 
 Middle States. The strong Presbyterian 
 Church also put forth the "Westminster Series," 
 edited by the Rev. Henry C. McCook, which 
 was generally commended by the Presbyte- 
 rians. The large body of rural schools, chiefly 
 conducted on the "Union" principle, and fos- 
 tered by The American Sunday-School Union, 
 naturally valued the "Explanatory Series" of 
 lessons, edited for the society by S. Austin 
 Allibone, LL.D., and the Rev. Richard New- 
 ton, D.D. A graded system in several grades 
 by the Rev. Charles E. Knox and his brother, 
 Rev. W. E. Knox, D.D., also had many 
 friends and advocates. 
 
 These diverse schemes of study, while seem- 
 ing to grow out of the diverse religious beliefs 
 prevailing, were not altogether satisfactory to 
 a large number of Sunday-school workers. 
 For instruction of the young, a system of 
 uniform lessons appeared to possess many 
 advantages, and frequent appeals for such a 
 system were made in different parts of the 
 country. 
 
 A committee appointed by the National Sun- 
 day-School Convention of 1869, with H. Clay 
 Trumbull as chairman, had frequent discus- 
 sions respecting uniform lessons. This com- 
 mittee had authority to call a National Con- 
 vention, as a similar committee had been 
 authorized to do by the convention of 1859. 
 The sessions of the committee of 1869 were 
 given to the consideration of matters relating 
 to the National Convention of 1872, at In- 
 
dianapolis. Some prominent Sunday-school 
 leaders were decidedly opposed to uniformity 
 in lessons. This was evident at the well- 
 known Plainfield Conference. But at the 
 National Committee meeting called in New 
 York, in July, 1871, by Chairman Trumbull, 
 uniform lessons were again discussed and 
 strongly advocated, especially by B, F. Jacobs. 
 It was finally agreed to invite a conference of 
 representatives of the leading Sunday-school 
 publishers, to meet August 8, 1871, in NV\v 
 York, to consider the question. 
 
 INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM OF LKSSONS. Tn 
 August, 1871, pursuant to the call above men- 
 tioned, twenty-nine representatives of Sunday- 
 school publishing societies and houses met in 
 New York, and, after much discussion, agreed, 
 by a vote of twenty-six to three, to appoint a 
 committee to select a trial list of "Uniform 
 Lessons" for Sunday-school study for 1872. 
 This was understood to be a "trial list." The 
 committee consisted of the Rev. Edward 
 Eggleston, Richard Newton, D.D., Rev. John 
 H. Vincent, Rev. Henry C. McCook and B. F. 
 Jacobs. Three of these (Messrs. Eggleston, 
 Vincent and McCook), after consultation, 
 deemed it impossible to agree upon a satisfac- 
 tory scheme of lessons, and issued such a 
 statement to the public. But the next morn- 
 ing, under the influence of Mr. Jacobs, that 
 decision was reconsidered and the committee 
 proceeded to select a scheme of lessons for 
 1872, that the experiment of uniform lessons 
 might be tried. But even then, it was found 
 that the real struggle had only just begun. On 
 
 10 
 
what plan should the lessons be selected ? Sev- 
 eral methods were proposed, and several 
 propositions were offered as a basis for a 
 scheme of lessons. Among them there may 
 be noted as especially prominent : 
 
 1. That doctrines be made the basis of the 
 scheme, as, for example, the plan of the West- 
 minster Assembly of divines in their cate- 
 chisms. 
 
 2. That Duties be the basis, along the lines 
 of practical Christian living, as reverence, Sab- 
 bath-keeping, parental and filial duties, and 
 the like. 
 
 3. That the lessons follow the Ecclesiastical 
 year, as Christmas, Easter and similar holy 
 days. The struggle was stiff and strong be- 
 tween the advocates of these plans. As Dr. 
 Trumbull tersely put it, the battle was "for 
 doctrines, duties, or days." 
 
 4. It was finally agreed that the basis should 
 be "study of the Bible" which, in fact, in- 
 cluded all the other plans. 
 
 Several of the publishers and editors, how- 
 ever, had already outlined their respective 
 schemes of lessons a year ahead, and wanted 
 theirs in part, at least, worked into the pro- 
 posed lessons for all. The new scheme, there- 
 fore, was of necessity made up of three or four 
 quite diverse schemes of lessons, already partly 
 selected chiefly by denominational organiza- 
 tions. This imperfect "patch-work" list, how- 
 ever, served to convince the majority of the 
 delegates to the National Sunday-school Con- 
 vention at Indianapolis, in April, 1872, of the 
 practicability of the scheme, and, under the 
 
 n 
 
magnetic leadership of B. F. Jacobs and others, 
 the plan was enthusiastically approved. 
 
 A Lesson Committee of ten persons from 
 leading denominations was appointed by that 
 national convention, with power to select a 
 "seven years' course" of "uniform lessons" 
 (1873-1879) for study in Sunday-schools. 
 The resolution \vas as follows : 
 
 "That this convention appoint a committee, 
 to consist of five clergymen and five laymen, to 
 select a course of Bible lessons for a series of 
 years not exceeding seven, which shall, as far 
 as they may decide possible, embrace a general 
 study of the whole Bible, alternating between 
 the Old and New Testament semi-annually or 
 quarterly, as they shall deem best, and to pub- 
 lish a list of such lessons as fully as possible, 
 and at least for the two years next ensuing as 
 early as the 1st of August, 1872; and that this 
 convention recommend their adoption by the 
 Sunday-schools of the whole country ; and that 
 this committee have power to fill any vacancies 
 that may occur in their number by reason of 
 the inability of any member to serve." 
 
 Five successive Lesson Committees have 
 thus been appointed, and fire courses of study 
 selected ; three courses of seven years each, and 
 two of six years each, which, including the 
 preliminary or trial year, make thirty-four 
 years of uniform Biblical study. The com- 
 mittee to select the first year's lessons, 1872, 
 was appointed by the editors and publishing 
 societies ; they graciously acquiesced in the ap- 
 pointment of the next Lesson Committee by the 
 National Sunday-school Conventions. 
 
 12 
 
The first seven years' course was based upon 
 the theory of selecting the more important pas- 
 sages in a general chronological order in the 
 Old Testament (beginning with Genesis) for 
 three months' study, and then similar passages 
 in the New Testament for the next six months' 
 study, completing the year with three months 
 again in the Old Testament ; and alternately 
 studying half a year in the Old, and half a year 
 in the New Testament, until the entire Bible 
 was gone over within the seven years. Some- 
 times the alternation between the Old and the 
 New Testament was made every three months, 
 but more commonly each six months. As the 
 lessons were usually limited to from ten to 
 twenty verses each week, it is obvious that 
 only about 4,000 to 5,000 of the more than 
 31,000 verses (31,173) in the entire Bible 
 could be included in the texts of a seven years' 
 course. But the lessons were intended to be 
 so selected as substantially to go over "the 
 entire Bible in each course for the purpose of 
 historical, biographical and doctrinal study/' 
 and to gain at least a general knowledge of the 
 contents of the Scriptures every seven, and 
 later every six, years. Usuallv only forty- 
 eight lessons were selected for each year; the 
 last Sundav in every three months' was as- 
 signed to "a review or a lesson selected by the 
 school." In 1878, however, the committee 
 designated the last Sunday of every quarter to 
 a "review of the lessons of the quarter, or a 
 missionary, a temperance or other lesson 
 selected by the school." 
 
 A -similar plan was pursued in the second 
 seven years' course (1880-1886), except that 
 
 13 
 
it began with Matthew's Gospel, and alter- 
 nated, as before, between studies in the ( )ld 
 and in the New Testament in much the same 
 manner as in the first seven years' course of 
 study. A special feature of this course was 
 the continuous study of the entire Gospel 
 according to Mark, which extended through 
 the year 1882. For the first year of the second 
 scries only forty-four regular lessons were 
 designated. The "review" was transferred to 
 the next to the last Sunday of each quarter, 
 and the last Sunday of the quarter was left 
 open for a lesson selected by the school. In 
 the second year (1881) the same number of 
 regular lessons (forty-four) were selected, the 
 review assigned for next to the last Sunday of 
 every three months, and a missionary lesson 
 designated for the last Sunday of the first two 
 quarters, a temperance lesson for the last Sun- 
 day of the third quarter, and a Christmas lesson 
 for the last Sunday of the year. In 1882 the 
 "review" was assigned to the last Sunday in 
 each quarter, forty-eight lessons selected, and 
 a lesson left for the school to select appropriate 
 for Christmas, there being fifty-three Sundays 
 that year. Thereafter, to the end of the series, 
 forty-eight lessons were selected for each year, 
 the last Sunday of each quarter being desig- 
 nated for a "review or missionary, temper- 
 ance or other lesson selected by the school." 
 
 This plan was substantially followed in the 
 third seven years' course (1887-1893), with 
 many changes in details, such as giving a year 
 (1890) of continuous studies in the Gospel 
 according to Luke. But the general plan was 
 not materially changed. Usually there were 
 
 14 
 
forty-eight regular lessons selected for each 
 year in the third series or course of lessons. 
 The last Sabbath of each quarter was left open 
 for a "review or an optional temperance or 
 missionary lesson/' the committee assigning 
 Scripture texts deemed appropriate for each of 
 these lessons up to 1892. In 1892 a quarterly 
 missionary lesson was assigned for the last 
 Sundays of the first and second quarters ; the 
 review was set back one Sunday, and temper- 
 ance lessons were assigned to the last Sunday 
 of the third and fourth quarters, the review 
 being placed upon the preceding Sunday in 
 each case. In 1893 also two Sundays were 
 given to missionary . and two to temperance 
 lessons, but the "reviews" were placed at the 
 end of each quarter. 
 
 The fourth course of lessons was limited to 
 sLv years (1894-1899) instead of seven years, 
 as heretofore, and a greater proportion of the 
 time than before was devoted to studies in the 
 New Testament. In the fourth series, or 
 course, one temperance lesson, with a Script- 
 ural text, was interjected into the regular 
 scheme of study each quarter, the review re- 
 taining a place on the last Sunday of every 
 three months. This plan was continued in the 
 fifth series or course of lessons also. 
 
 The fifth Lesson Committee appointed by 
 the International Sunday-school Convention, 
 in Boston in 1896, was composed of fifteen 
 members, the majority being new members. 
 To these were added a "British section 1 ' of 
 eight corresponding or co-operating members. 
 The committee prepares a preliminary list of 
 lessons, which is sent to the corresponding 
 
 15 
 
members and also to lesson editors and writers 
 for suggestions before it is finally approved 
 and announced to the public. This committee 
 of fifteen and their associates were authorized 
 to select a six years' course of lessons for 1900 
 to 1 90S, so as to give as complete a view as 
 possible of^the whole Bible. This committee, 
 after conference and consultation with. lesson 
 editors and writers, decided "to give chief 
 prominence to biography" in this six years' 
 course of study. In the main, previous courses 
 had given prominence to historic material in 
 the Scriptures. Sometimes that material had 
 been arranged largely upon some supposed 
 chronological order. 
 
 In giving special prominence "to the bio- 
 graphical element," the purpose of the com- 
 mittee in the fifth course was "to bring for- 
 ward the persons in Scripture whose lives 
 illustrated the presence and will of God among 
 men : supreme over all, the Word made flesh, 
 the only begotten Son of God." Therefore, 
 the committee "determined to select concrete 
 portions of the Bible as centers, with which 
 may be connected by lesson writers and 
 teachers more or less of the related facts of the 
 same subject, according to the capacity of the 
 pupils." The reason for thus basing the whole 
 course chiefly upon the biographical idea was 
 to fit it for "those least able to select a fit 
 course of lessons for themselves. These are 
 the majority of the millions represented in this 
 association [the International Sunday-school 
 Convention], the busy men and women, the 
 children of the common people, to whom the 
 simple message of the gospel and the plain 
 
counsels of the word of God for guidance in 
 daily life are most welcome." And the 
 committee added: "The whole course is so 
 arranged in continuous sections that, with 
 intelligent teachers, reasonable demands for 
 continuous study are met, so far as practicable, 
 on a scale required to provide for many mil- 
 lions of students in many lands, with every 
 variety of mental habit and discipline." 
 
 This six years' course began with a year and 
 a half of continuous study in the life of Jesus. 
 Three and a half of the six years were there- 
 fore given to studies in the New Testament 
 and two and a half years to studies in the Old 
 Testament. 
 
 This committee, through a sub-committee, 
 has also put forth a "Beginners' Course," com- 
 prising separate and distinct passages of 
 Scripture. This is believed to be more closely 
 adapted to the capacity of the youngest, and 
 well fitted to the development of the child 
 mind, as well as in accord with the best graded 
 system of study approved by competent educa- 
 tors. A special course of lessons for advanced 
 Bible classes has also been approved by the 
 lesson editors and publishers. The classified 
 list in this book contains, however, the "Inter- 
 national Lessons" only, complete for thirty- 
 three years. 
 
 SCOPE OF THE LESSONS. One very clearly 
 announced aim of the International Series of 
 Lessons was to lead up to a wider knowledge 
 of the entire Bible. Thus, in the preliminary 
 year's study for 1872 the lessons were selected 
 from no less than nine books of the Bible. In 
 
 17 
 
the first series or course of seven years, 1873- 
 1879, during which the whole Bible was gone 
 over, lessons were selected from fifty-four 
 books (thirty-three in the Old Testament and 
 twenty-one in the New). The twelve books 
 from which no lessons were taken during the 
 first seven years' course of study were : Song 
 of Solomon, Lamentations, Obadiah, Habak- 
 kuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, II. Thessalonians, 
 Philemon, II. Peter, II. John, III. John and 
 Jude. 
 
 In the second series of seven years, the scope 
 of the lessons was narrowed to forty-four 
 books (twenty-four in the Old and twenty in 
 the New Testament) ; no studies were assigned 
 in twenty-two of the Biblical books. The 
 books omitted in selecting the second series 
 were : all the Old Testament books above named 
 and, in addition, II. Chronicles, Job, Ezekiel, 
 Hosea, Joel, Amos, Micah, Nahum and Zecha- 
 riah, and seven of the New Testament books, 
 namely : Colossians, Titus, Philemon, I. Peter, 
 II. and III. John and Jude. 
 
 In the first fourteen years of lesson study, 
 ten books of the Bible were altogether omitted, 
 and in the first seven years' course only one 
 lesson was selected from each of twenty -four 
 books of the Bible ; and in the second seven 
 years' course there were fifteen books, from 
 each of which only one lesson was chosen. In 
 the third seven years' course, lessons were 
 selected from forty-six books of the Bible, and 
 from twenty books no lessons were chosen, 
 while from each of twelve other books only 
 one lesson was selected. In the fourth series 
 of six years, twenty-one books were omitted in 
 
 18 
 
the selecting of lessons, and only one lesson 
 was chosen from each of fifteen other books of 
 the Bible. 
 
 Under the limitations of the International 
 System there are, therefore, some quite insur- 
 mountable obstacles to a complete knowledge 
 of the entire Bible. Yet the Sunday-school 
 study of the Scriptures has immensely broad- 
 ened as well as deepened, and been made more 
 accurate in the past thirty years as compared 
 with the thirty years preceding the Inter- 
 national System. 
 
 The interpretation of divine truth has also 
 become more definite and clear, and as a conse- 
 quence of this better manifestation of truth, 
 the practical lessons derived therefrom have 
 tended to advance and deepen the spiritual life 
 of all Christians of every name in all the 
 churches. 
 
 VALUE OF THE SYSTEM. The strong senti- 
 ment of the Indianapolis Convention for uni- 
 form lessons was contagious. The plan sprang 
 at once into popular favor, and swept over the 
 country in a great wave of enthusiasm that 
 bore down all opposition. Nor did it prove 
 to be a momentary or temporary fickle passion 
 for a sentimental scheme. It has endured for 
 a generation. It has been adopted by a wider 
 constituency, and enrolled a greater number 
 of persons in the study of God's word than any 
 other known system. Its advocates claim that 
 it is used to-day by more scholars and teachers 
 than are all other systems of Sunday-school 
 lessons in the world. The popular voice in 
 favor of the system has continued to ring out 
 
 19 
 
loud, rejoicing in its strength. Now and then 
 it has been accompanied by an undertone of 
 complaint. These occasional discordant notes 
 have come from various quarters ; sometimes 
 from scientific educators and Biblical critics, 
 which constrained the Lesson Committee to 
 notice the criticisms in their seventh triennial 
 report. 
 
 Among the earliest and most serious of the 
 complaints were: 
 
 1. That the International System does not 
 furnish a sufficient amount of denominational 
 teaching. In reply to this the committee 
 boldly challenged the whole Christian world 
 "to point out a clearly revealed Biblical doc- 
 trine which has been avoided or omitted." 
 They assert "that the difficulty must be with 
 the teachers, and not with the lessons. If 
 these denominational teachings have not been 
 included in the lessons, it is because they are 
 not in the Bible." 
 
 2. Again, it has been alleged that the system 
 is not in accord with "scientific and pedagogi- 
 cal theories of education." To this it has been 
 answered Sunday-schools do not want a course 
 of study for higher schools of learning. Giv- 
 ing the highest commendation to a true 
 scientific investigation of the Scriptures, yet 
 friends of the International System do not aim 
 at scientific study in the Sunday-school, and 
 cannot turn Sunday-schools into theological 
 seminaries. 
 
 "We have had in mind," says the committee, 
 "the children from refined and cultivated 
 homes, and from alleys and sand lots ; children 
 
 20 
 
assembled in stately city churches and in log 
 cabins and "dug-outs ;" scholars who can read 
 the lesson in Greek or Hebrew, and old people, 
 as well as children, who can only with the 
 greatest difficulty spell out the name of Jesus/' 
 
 3. Perhaps the most popular and derisive 
 phrases used against the scheme were : that it 
 consisted of a "hop-skip-arid- jump method'' 
 the "kangaroo system," or the "erratic work 
 of careless shears and paste-pot." Thus it was 
 charged that the system had only been "skim- 
 ming the Bible." To this it' was wittily 
 answered : "There have been great thanks- 
 givings over the remarkably rich cream we 
 have gotten." It was charged that this method 
 would not be tolerated in the common school. 
 The ready reply was: "Is it not, as a matter 
 of fact, to some extent pursued in the common 
 school, the academy and the college?" "What 
 classical teacher insists that his pupils shall 
 read everything in Virgil, or Livy, or Horace, 
 or Juvenal, in Xenophon, or Homer, or 
 yEschylus? . . .Is there nothing gained 
 in going over the mountain peaks of history, 
 if one has neither the time nor the ability to 
 study the philosophy of history?" 
 
 4. The system, it is charged, is not adapted 
 to the growth of child-mind; is not suited to 
 the youngest, nor to advanced scholars, nor 
 favorable to progress between these extremes 
 of capacity. The answer made to this has 
 been that the grading can be made in the 
 teaching, rather than in the texts of the les- 
 sons. It is said by the Lesson Committee that 
 the "system of International Lessons is based 
 on the idea of 'the greatest good to the greatest 
 
number.' v Others say the lesson system 
 ought to be based on "the greatest good to all." 
 Partially to meet this difficulty, however, the 
 Lesson Committee provides a ''Beginners' 
 Course," planned upon the principle of grad- 
 ing the lesson text also to the capacity of the 
 child-mind. 
 
 Over against these criticisms, coming from 
 comparatively few having any practical experi- 
 ence of the lesson system, there is a great wave 
 of public opinion the world over in respect to 
 the manifold -and immense advantages of the 
 International System over all previous schemes 
 of study, and over any that have been sug- 
 gested in its place. Among the advantages 
 claimed are : 
 
 1. The International Lesson System has 
 given a more comprehensive knowledge of the 
 word of God than ever before. Large por- 
 tions of the Bible which were not ordinarily 
 explored have been studied and, to some extent 
 at least, mastered and applied to the practical 
 work of life. 
 
 2. It is obvious that the system has unified 
 Sunday-school teaching. It has made it vastly 
 easier to have successful teachers' meetings. 
 It has made it possible for even strangers in a 
 place to know where the lesson for the Sunday 
 was to be, and to make preparation therefor. 
 It has given strength to the teaching in the 
 individual school. It has given new life to the 
 great cause of Biblical interpretation and 
 knowledge. 
 
 3. The system has given an impulse to 
 Biblical thought, which has created a fresh 
 Biblical literature of great value and given it 
 
 22 
 
an immense circulation. The best Biblical 
 scholars of the world have given their best 
 thinking to the exposition of Biblical truths 
 for popular use. Commentaries are in com- 
 paratively few families, but these current expo- 
 sitions of the International Lessons, by the 
 best minds, have gone into every home where 
 a teacher or a scholar is to be found. 
 
 4. The International Lesson System has 
 been a great object lesson and argument 
 respecting the oneness of Protestant Chris- 
 tianity. It has shown that in the great essen- 
 tial doctrines of our religion there is a unity 
 which has hitherto been overlooked, and this 
 teaching" has promoted a wonderful spirit of 
 oneness in Christian life. 
 
 5. The system is one of the most prolific 
 means for the diffusion of the gospel. It has 
 introduced into the secular press thousands of 
 columns of expositions and applications of 
 Biblical truth, where previously such topics 
 had no place. The foremost dailies of our 
 cities now give expositions by leading writers 
 week by week upon the lessons of the Sunday- 
 school. 
 
 6. The great traveling classes, \vhose duties 
 call them from place to place, have been im- 
 mensely benefited, since under this system they 
 can know what will be the lesson for study 
 wherever Sunday may find them. 
 
 7. This system has widened and deepened 
 the power and spirituality of the Church. It 
 has furnished numberless themes for sermons 
 and for enriching prayer meetings. It is 
 claimed that more conversions and more acces- 
 sions to the Church have been made under this 
 
 23 
 
system than ever before. It has marvelously 
 increased the facility and the power of 
 Christian workers to win souls. Conspicu- 
 ously may it be said of this system : "The 
 Lord gave the word: great was the company 
 of those that published it." The rendering of 
 the Revised Version is: "The Lord giveth 
 the word : the women that publish the tidings 
 are a great host." This reads like a marvel- 
 ous prophecy of the marked prominence 
 woman has won for herself in these latter days 
 as a teacher of God's word in the Sunday- 
 school.

 ( UNIVERSITY 1 
 V of / . 
 
PERSONNEL otf THE .COMMITTEES. 
 
 The ten members of the first Lesson Com- 
 mittee were chosen from five of the denomina- 
 tions interested in the scheme in America. 
 Two were Baptists, two Congregationalists, 
 two Methodist Episcopal, two Presbyterian 
 and two Protestant Episcopal. Two were 
 added from Canada, J. Monro Gibson, Presby- 
 terian, and A. Macallum, making twelve in the 
 first committee. 
 
 The second committee numbered fourteen 
 Americans; three were Baptists, one Congre- 
 gationalist, one Evangelical Lutheran, four 
 Methodist, four Presbyterian and one Protest- 
 ant Episcopal. Two were added from Eng- 
 land, F. J. Hartley and W. H. Groser. 
 
 The proportion of clergymen in the com- 
 mittee has been gradually increased, so that 
 for 1900-1905 there are twelve clergymen and 
 only three laymen, but ten denominations are 
 represented in the fifth committee. In the 
 British section, however, the proportion is 
 evenly balanced between the eight members, 
 four being clergymen and four laymen. 
 
 During the thirty-three years, thirty-eight 
 different persons have been members of the' 
 successive Lesson Committees. 
 
 The representation on the Wesson Committee has been based 
 on the numbers in the denominations using the System, e.g., 
 Baptists, about 4,000,000, 3 members ; Congregational, 600,000, 
 i member; Disciples, 1.000,000, i member; Lutheran, i member; 
 Methodists, 5,000.000, 3 members ; Presbyterians, 1,700,000, 3 
 members; Protestant Episcopal, 798,000, i member; Reformed, 
 34Q,ooo and United Brethren, 260,000, each, i member. But a 
 fraction only of some of these use the System.

CLASSIFIED LIST 
 
 FOR THIRTY=THREE YEARS (1872-1904) 
 
 ARRANGED BY 
 
 CLARENCE RUSSELL WILLIAMS, M.A. 
 
EXPLANATION 
 
 The Official List of Lessons and Golden Texts 
 for 1901 contained the following note: " In response 
 to earnest requests from editors and publishers, the 
 Committee has mentioned verses which may be 
 printed when the lesson exceeds a dozen. But it 
 should be distinctly understood that these verses 
 to be printed are only a portion of the lesson. 
 The Committee requests that in all cases the entire 
 passage shall be indicated and treated as the lesson, 
 whether or not it is printed in full." This note 
 was reproduced substantially in the first official list 
 for 1902. A revised list for 1902, sent out considerably 
 later, contained the following: "In response to 
 requests from publishers and lesson writers, this 
 revised list is issued, in which those parts previously 
 marked ' Print ' have been called * The Lesson,' while 
 those previously marked 'Lesson ' have been marked 
 1 Study.' This change was called for by the misunder- 
 standings which arose from assigning a * Lesson ' only 
 part of which was then printed in the lesson helps. 
 This arrangement will be adhered to in future issues 
 of the lists of lessons." 
 
 In accordance with those directions, the limited 
 lessons indicated for " Print " appear in this list, only 
 for the year 1901.

 SECTION XVII. 
 
 Parable of the Sower. Luke viii. 4 15. 
 
 See also Matt. xiii. 123, and Mark iv. 125. 
 
 NARRATIVE. 
 
 Jesus and his disciples, soon after the -circumstance 
 which took place at the pool of Bethesda, passing through 
 the corn fields on the Sabbath day, and being hungry, 
 plucked the ears of corn, by which they gave offence to 
 some of the Pharisees, (Matt. xii. 18. Mark ii. 2328. 
 Luke vi. 1 5.) A few days afterwards, he cured the 
 man with a withered hand ; and because of the opposition 
 and persecution of the Jews on that account, he withdrew 
 himself from them, (Matt. xii. 921. Mark iii. 112. 
 Luke vi. 6 11.) After having his miracles again ascrib- 
 ed to Belzebub, which he refuted, he was visited by his 
 mother and brethren, who were become exceedingly 
 anxious for his welfare, but they could not come in for the 
 crowd, (Matt. xii. 2250. Mark iii. 2235.) Jesus then 
 came out of the house, which could not contain the multi- 
 tude, and went to the sea side, where he delivered the 
 parable of the Sower, and afterwards interpreted it.

 EXPLANATION OF THE SYMBOLS. 
 
 Seed, The word of God, or the truths of the gospel 
 which ought to be kept pure, and liberally sown in every 
 part of the field of this world. 
 
 Sowers, Ministers, teachers, parents, and all who com- 
 municate the truths of the gospel to others. The hearers 
 are represented as ground of different kinds, receiving 
 this seed according to the state of their hearts, and cir- 
 cumstances in life. 
 
 Way-side hearers^ (1.) Those who, by inattention, wan- 
 
78 Parable of the Sower. 
 
 dering thoughts, or drowsiness, are prevented from hear- 
 ing or understanding the word when it is delivered or read. 
 (2.) Those who are so allured by the deceitfulness of sin, 
 that they will not allow the truths of the gospel to have 
 any impression on their hearts, (3.) Those whose violent 
 prejudices, wicked lives, and unruly lusts and passions, 
 induce them to contemn and trample upon the truths of 
 the gospel. 
 
 Stony-ground hearers, Those whose imaginations are 
 easily excited, and who are induced, without due consider- 
 ation, to receive the word with joy, and for a while to 
 make a promising profession ; but not having their reli- 
 gion placed on a proper foundation, give it up whenever 
 they are called to suffer persecution, or when any sum. 
 ciently powerful temptation occurs. 
 
 Thorny-ground hearers, They who make, and continue 
 to maintain an outward profession of religion ; but who 
 permit themselves to be so absorbed by the business or 
 the pleasures of life, that religion is neglected, becomes a 
 mere name, and brings forth no fruit to perfection. 
 
 Good-ground hearers, Those who, having their aftfcc- 
 tions set more on the things of God, than the things of the 
 world, having their hearts renewed by the operation of the 
 Spirit of God, receive and nourish the seed of the word ; 
 which brings forth fruit in their lives, to the praise and 
 glory of God. 
 
 LESSONS. 
 
 From this Section we learn, 
 That we should embrace every opportunity of having our 
 
 knowledge increased, and the things of God made plain 
 
 to our understanding, ver. 9. 
 That the desire for wisdom is the way to get wisdom.. 
 
 They who apply to Christ for knowledge shall not.be 
 
 disappointed ; while others who 'are careless, shall hear 
 
 without understanding, ver. 10. 
 That a mere attendance on the preaching of the word, or 
 
 the means of grace, is no sure sign of true religion, 
 
 ver. 12. 
 That wandering thoughts and inattention in hearing the 
 
 word, fcre invitations to Satan to render it useless, 
 
 ver. 12. 
 That there may be many fair appearances and even zeal- 
 
Parable of the Tares. 79 
 
 cue affections in the profession of religion, without true 
 and saving faith, ver. 13. 
 
 That they who trust in their own strength, lean on a 
 broken reed. Temptation or persecution will dissipate 
 all those resolutions which have not their foundation on 
 the grace of Christ, and a sense of human weakness, 
 ver. 13. 
 
 That indulgence in worldly pleasures is dangerous to true 
 religion. Sensual gratification destroys the relish for 
 holiness and heaven, and prevents the growth of hu- 
 mility and self-restraint, ver. 14. 
 
 That a medium station in society is that most favourable 
 to the prosperity of true godliness. Affluence and want, 
 riches and care, each in its own way choke the 
 word, and render it unfruitful, ver. 14. 
 
 That legal observances, and rapturous emotions, though 
 beautiful in the sight of men, will not be accepted of 
 God, unless they bring their fruit to perfection, ver. 14. 
 
 That they who would receive the word effectually, and 
 bring forth fruit, must have their hearts prepared, and 
 made good and honest by the Spirit of God, ver. 15. 
 
 That an essential ingredient in true faith, is a patient con- 
 tinuance in well doing. They must not only ripen into 
 fruit, but they must continue to bring forth fruit with 
 patience, ver. 15. 
 
 SECTION XIX, 
 
 Parable of the Tares. Matt xiil 2450. 
 NARRATIVE. 
 
 Our Lord continuing to teach the multitudes at the sea- 
 side, after delivering the parable of the Sower, as in last 
 section, uttered also, among others, the parable of the Tares 
 of the field, which he sometime afterwards explained to 
 them, Matt. xiii. 36 44. 
 
 EXERCISE. 
 
 Ver. 24. What did our Lord put forth ? What was 
 this parable intended to illustrate? To what does he 
 compare the kingdom of heaven? What did the man
