ure was built in this period?

_Answer._--_The tower of Babel_ (write).

_Leader._--What punishment came to the people for building this tower?

_Answer._--_Confusion of tongues_ (write)

_Leader._--Where do we read about this period?

_Answer._--_Genesis 6-11_ (write).

This method may be followed in the case of each of the Bible lessons.
The blackboard outline for the entire first lesson would appear about
as follows, after being built up step by step:

The Old Testament Division

_Prelude._--Story of Creation (Genesis 1, 2)

_First Period_--Adam
{Human race
The beginning of {Sin
{Redemption

_Second Period_--Noah--the flood
Tower of Babel--confusion of tongues
(Genesis 6-11)

_Third Period_--Abraham--chosen family
Egypt--prosperity--oppression
Moses--Exodus
Journeys
Canaan
Judges
(Genesis 12 to Judges 1:21)

_Fourth Period_--Saul--David--Solomon
(1 Sam. 10 to 1 Kings 12)

_Fifth Period_--Captivity--return
Ezra, Nehemiah
(2 Kings 25)

Each leader will thus be enabled to use the blackboard in his own way,
basing the drill on the outline material at the beginning of each
chapter; this blackboard review will be brought to the students with a
freshness not secured when suggested outlines are printed with each
lesson.

#Familiarity with maps# should be encouraged at every point. The
leader may accustom the class to the question, "Where is that place?"
nearly every time a town or locality is named. The average beginner in
Bible study is afraid of a map; the more familiar he becomes with
these maps, the more confidence he will have in his own Bible
knowledge.

#The New Testament Section.#--In the several chapters beginning on
page 71 the historical outline consists of a harmony of the Gospels.
It is not intended that the student shall memorize this harmony; but
the ability to reproduce from memory the journey map published in
connection with each section of the harmony would give the student a
very helpful grasp on the order of events in the life of Christ. The
use of a journey map as a basis for telling the story of a chosen
period will fix events and geographical location in mind
