The Constructive Bible Studies This great series is now approaching completion and is rapidly finding its way into the best Sunday schools of the country. It has recently been introduced in England. An examination will convince you that it is the best method yet devised for real study of the Bible. Here are some of the distinguishing qualities of the books: 1. They are in the fullest sense educative, since they develop individual thought and research. 2. They train the pupil in the intelligent use of the Bible itself. 3. They are interesting to both teacher and pupil. 4. They win the pupil's respect, since they are as carefully and as scientifically prepared as the best secular text-books. 5. At the same time, they do not sacrifice the spirit of religious study to mere knowledge. Their tone is that of noble consecration to the search for truth. 6. Issued in book form, they have a lasting effect that cannot be secured from leaflets. 7. They are practical, as the experience of very many teachers has proved. The series, when all the books have been issued, will provide a complete curriculum for the graded Sunday school. Already there is sufficient material to start an entire school on the new plan.
