14.   Sing, O daughter of Zion; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. 15   Jehovah hath taken away thy judgments, he hath cast out thine enemy: the King of Israel, even Jehovah, is in the midst of thee; thou shalt not fear evil any more. 16   In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not; O Zion, let not thy hands be slack. 17   Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy over thee with singing. 18   I will gather them that sorrow for the solemn assembly, who were of thee; to whom the burden upon her was a reproach. 19   Behold, at that time I will deal with all them that afflict thee; and I will save that which is lame, and gather that which was driven away; and I will make them a praise and a name, whose shame hath been in all the earth. 20   At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I bring back your captivity before your eyes, saith Jehovah.

SUGGESTIONS FOR REVIEW.

      Of each lesson of the last quarter recall some one impressive point.

      Recall the features of the gospel of Mark: little discourse or verbal teaching; mostly action. The record very brief, vivid, pointed. The prevalence of the word "straightway."

      Look at the character of our lord Jesus Christ, as exhibited in these lessons. Compare with the nine items of "the fruit of the Spirit," Gal. 5:22, 23. His death on the cross (followed by His resurrection) is to us the chief and all-important matter. Why? [191]
