The hymn being concluded, we put the following questions to the children: 

Q. Who was the new-born king?  A. Jesus Christ.  Q. Who are sinners?  A. We, and all men.  Q. What are flocks?  A. A number of sheep.  Q. What are shepherds?  A. Those who take care of the sheep.  Q. What are plains?  A. Where the sheep feed.  Q. Who are mortals?  A. We are mortals.  Q. Who is the glorious king?  A. Jesus Christ.  Q. What is meant by Emanuel’s name?  A. Jesus Christ.

Here the teacher can inform the children, that Jesus Christ is called by a variety of names in the Bible, and can repeat them to the children if he thinks proper; for every correct idea respecting the Saviour which he can instil into their minds will serve as a foundation for other ideas, and he will find that the more ideas the children have, the more ready they will be in answering his questions; for man is a progressive being; his capacity for progression is his grand distinction above the brutes.

The picture being suspended as before described, we proceed thus:—­

Q. What is this?  A. Jesus Christ raising Lazarus from the dead.  Q. Who was Lazarus?  A. A man who lived in a town called Bethany, and a friend of Christ’s.  Q. What is a town?  A.

Who was it that sent unto Jesus Christ, and told him that Lazarus was sick?  A. Martha and Mary.  Q. What did they say?  A. They said, Lord, behold he whom thou lovest is sick.  Q. What answer did Jesus make unto them?  A. He said, this sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God.  Q. What did he mean by saying so?  A. He meant that Lazarus should be raised again by the power of God, and that the people that stood by should see it, and believe on him.  Q. How many days did Jesus stop where he was when he found Lazarus was sick?  A. Two days.  Q. When Jesus Christ wanted to leave the place, what did he say to his disciples?  A. He said, let us go into Judea again.  Q. What do you mean by Judea?  A. A country where the Jews lived.  Q. Did the disciples say any thing to Jesus Christ, when he expressed a wish to go into Judea again?  A. Yes, they said, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee, and goest thou thither again?  Q. What did Jesus Christ tell them?  A. He told them a great many things, and at last told them plainly that Lazarus was dead.  Q. How many days had Lazarus lain in the grave before he was raised up?  A. Four.  Q. Who went to meet Jesus Christ, when she heard that he was coming?  A. Martha; but Mary sat still in the house.  Q. Did Martha say anything to Jesus when she met him?  A. Yes, she said, Lord, if thou hadst been here my brother had not died.  Q. Did Martha tell her sister that
