The mode of using these Prophecies in our Infants' Schools is,-first, by the Children themselves; secondly, by the Teacher.

It is to be understood, that the Children have partially acquired a knowledge of them by oral instruction.

i. A child, placed in the rostrum, calls aloud the name of some one of his schoolfellows, who rises; he is then desired to repeat some particular prophecy, which having done, he sits down; when the name of another child is called, &c. Sometimes, for a change, the children, in turn, may put the questions to the one in the rostrum.

2. The Teacher's method is to make one or more of them a gallery lesson, or otherwise. We select the following for

Example. T. Repeat David's prophecy of Christ's resurrection ?C.. “ Thou shalt not leave my soul in hell, nor suffer thy Holy One to see corruption."... Psalm xvi. 11.

T. What am I to understand by—“ Thou shalt not leave my soul in hell ?”—C. That Christ should not be left in the grave.

T. What is meant by “ seeing corruption ?"--C. For the body to rot in the grave, and turn to dust.

T. How did not Christ's body see corruption ?-C. Because it was raised from the dead.

T. How long did his body remain in the grave ?--C. Three days and three nights.

T. Will our bodies always remain in the grave !--C. No; Christ will raise them up at the last day,

T. Did any one see Jesus after his resurrection ?C. Yes; several

T. Who were they?

C. 1. Mary Magdalene, who thought he was the gardener ................ John xx. 15.

2. The women, when he said, “ All hail.” Mark xxviii. 9.

3. Two disciples, as they were going to the village Emmaus .............. Luke xxiv. 31. 4. Simon Peter

...... Luke xxiv. 34. 5. The disciples, when Thomas was absent. Luke xxiv. 36. 6. The disciples,when Thomas was present John xx. 26. 7. The disciples, when they were fishing. John xxi. 4.

8. The disciples, on a mountain in Galilee

....................... Matt. xxviii. 16.

9. James, one of the disciples ..........1 Cor. xv. 7.

10. The disciples, when he ascended up to heaven ............................Like xxiv. 51.

T. When did these several appearances take place ?C. The first five were on Sunday, the day of his resurrection; the sixth was on Sunday, the eighth day after his reresurrection; and the tenth was on the fortieth day after his resurrection.

T. How long was Jesus upon earth after his resurrection ? -C. Forty days.

T. Did he speak to any one whilst he was on the earth ?---C. Yes; to his disciples, with whom he ate and drank.

Acts x. 41.
Sing, Mary's Tears.
At dawning of day, came Mary away,

To see the sepulchre, and mourn ;
But what was her fear an angel to hear,

Say, Mary,- the Master is gone.
Surpriz'd at the sound, in silence profound,

Whilst trembling she stood at the stone;
But none could she find, to comfort her mind;

Poor Mary!- the Master is gone.
Love flow'd from her eyes, love heav'd in her sighs;

How pensive she utter'd her moan;
The stone is remov'd, lost is all that she lov’d;

Ah, Mary!- the Master is gone.
" In vain was my care, these perfumes to prepare,

" Or attempt to embalm him alone; “ Taken hence from my view, what, alas, shall I do!

“ Ah, Mary!--the Master is gone." " Hallelujahs arise-assist me, ye skies, –

" I no longer for happiness roam ; " Hence sorrow-hence care, for I now can declare

“ Rabboni—the Master is come.”

This, it is presumed, will be found sufficient, so as to enable an inexperienced Teacher to take up any other prophecy, which he will find both delightful and profitable to his own soul.

The manner of using these Alphabets is, for a child to stand in the rostrum, having 26 squares of wood, on which are painted the letters of the alphabet, great and small. The child then holding up the square, on which the letters A. a. are drawn, calls aloud-"A stands for Angel, that praises the Lord;" which the children, looking at the letters, repeat after him. He then holds up. B. b., and so on throughout the whole 26 squares. Thus the children become familiarized with the letters, and at the same time their little minds are stored with Scripture truths; which, under the teaching of the Holy Spirit, may lead them “ to a knowledge of Him, whom to know is life eternal."
