Note to the Elder or Leader

(Not to be read publicly)
The reading entitled “Common Excuses” may be presented impressively by assigning portions to different persons. One person may give all the excuses, and others read the replies; or persons may be assigned to read both excuses and replies.
At the close of the reading, take time to discuss the different points, and then plan for such follow-up personal work as will result in every believer attending the Sabbath-school with a well-learned lesson.
Where teachers’ meetings are held, this matter might also profitably be considered at the teachers’ meeting. The studies which we are now following in the book of Acts afford an excellent opportunity for arousing a deeper interest in missionary work among the members of the church.
