LESSON 40 

 THE TORCH BEARERS 



MEMORY VERSE 



For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world 

 are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, 

 even his everlasting power and divinity. 



Rom. 1: 20 



The Purpose 



The intent of this closing lesson is evident. The 

 teacher will have little trouble in awakening the desire 

 to pass on the torch of truth with its light undimmed. 

 Let the story make its own appeal, keeping the im- 

 pression of awe and reverence over this universe and its 

 Creator to the end of the course. 



Suggestions for the Teacher 



A brief review which shall bring out the subjects of 

 the four sections of this book and its general purpose may 

 seem desirable at this point. If so, it must be carefully 

 planned so that it may be interesting and not take up 

 too much time from the last brief lesson period of the 

 course. The work asked for on the leaflet makes such a 

 review. 



The poem printed on the leaflet should be read in class 

 before the story is told. 



The story of the torch bearers should, then, be given as 

 the last thing in the lesson period. There will be no need 

 to emphasize the thought of the responsibility of each child
