Gen. 7. Description of the flood.
Gen. 6. 5-7. God punished the world for wickedness.
Gen. 7. 23. Covered the inhabited earth.
4. It would be a good plan to write out in full, as a connected
statement, all the facts in the section; thus: "The Bible says there was
a deluge and the traditions of other nations attest it. The date
commonly given is 2348 B. C. Its cause was God's anger with the
wickedness of the race, and it covered the inhabited globe. God's
purpose was to cleanse the world for a new epoch."
5. In like manner study out and write out all the facts obtained by a
study of the lesson and the texts cited in it. This will greatly aid the
memory in holding fast to the information gained.
6. Having done this, look at the blackboard outline at the end of the
study, and see if you can read the outline of the lesson by the aid of
the catch-words and indications which it affords. Study the lesson until
you can read it with the blackboard outline, and then recall it without
the outline.
7. Now read over the questions for review, one by one, and see if you
can answer them. Do not cease your study until every question can be
answered without the aid of the text.
8. Frequently review the lessons already learned. Before beginning the
third study review the first and the second; before the fourth, review
the first, second, and third, and at the completion of all the studies
review them all. The knowledge gained by this thorough study will more
than compensate for the time and trouble which it requires.
