2 OLD TESTAMENT SURVEY - PART II BONDAGE, WANDERING AND CONQUEST The enclosed series of lessons will be used as a format for the in-class teaching of adults and young people for the next three months. Our teachers have prepared lesson plans for these lessons. This program of teaching is designed as an aid to the parents' personal obligation of home study with their children. Your part in this study will be to give your children ten to twenty minutes of study each day, five days a week. Each day study one DAILY STUDY selection from the next Sunday's lesson, thereby covering all five DAILY studies each week. It is suggested that you use the Memory Work the first day, so it may be learned through repetition the following days. To assist you in relating the verses to the coming Sunday's class, these lesson outline provided to you in advance for the entire 13 weeks. DO NOT LET YOUR CHILDREN DOWN Set aside a certain portion of each day for Bible study (such as each evening after supper). Make it a Habit and be Consistent, and your children will reap the benefits the rest of their lives. The remembrance of these few minutes will cause them to be thankful always. Each child will be given credit in class each week for memory work and participation in all five DAILY STUDIES. This recognition is arranged so that he may make up any previous week's work missed when absent. ii
