"Life of
Jesus," but more advanced in thought.

HIGH SCHOOL, 13-17 YEARS

In the secular school the work of the eighth grade is tending toward
elimination. It is, therefore, considered here as one of the high-school
grades. In the high-school years new needs arise. There is necessary a
group of books which will dignify the study of the Bible and give it as
history and literature a place in education, at least equivalent to that
of other histories and literatures which have contributed to the
progress of the world. This series is rich in biblical studies which
will enable young people to gain a historical appreciation of the
religion which they profess. Such books are

_The Gospel According to Mark_ (Burton). A study of the life of
Jesus from this gospel. The full text is printed in the book, which
is provided with a good dictionary and many interesting notes and
questions of very great value to both teacher and pupil.

_The First Book of Samuel_ (Willett). Textbook for teacher and
pupil in which the fascinating stories of Samuel, Saul, and David
are graphically presented. The complete text of the first book of
Samuel is given, many interesting explanatory notes, and questions
which will stir the interest of the pupil, not only in the present
volume but in the future study of the Old Testament.

_The Life of Christ_ (Burgess). A careful historical study of the
life of Christ from the four gospels. A manual for teacher and
pupil presents a somewhat exhaustive treatment, but full
instructions for the selection of material for classes in which but
one recitation a week occurs are given the teacher in a separate
outline.

_The Hebrew Prophets_ (Chamberlin). An inspiring presentation of
the lives of some of the greatest of the prophets from the point of
view of their work as citizens and patriots. In the manual for
teachers and pupils the biblical text in a good modern translation
is included.

_Christianity in the Apostolic Age_ (Gilbert). A story of early
Christianity chronologically presented, full of interest in the
hands of a teacher who enjoys the historical point of view.

In the high-school years also young people find it necessary to face the
problem of living the Christian life in a modern world, both as a
personal experience and as a basis on which to build an ideal society.
