Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the International Lesson System 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: 1. 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.
