[L] The origin of this title is obscure. Some regard it as meaning "the
hammer," like a similar name in the Middle Ages, Charles Martel. Others
say that it was a part of the Hebrew inscription on the banner of Judas,
"Micamo Ka Baalim Jehovah," "Who is like unto thee among the gods, O
Jehovah?" Still others that it was made up as a sort of charm from the
last letters of the words Abraham, Isaac, Jacob. The Maccabean princes
were also called Asmoneans.
THE
Ten Minute Series OF
Supplemental Lessons
--FOR--
The Sunday School,
--BY--
LORANUS E. HITCHCOCK.
[Illustration: T]HE necessity of some instruction in the Bible, in order
to supply the deficiencies which are unavoidable to any system of
uniform lessons, is realized in every Sunday school. The International
Lessons can only give detached portions of Scripture, and a supplemental
lesson must be added to impart a general knowledge of the book as a
whole.
The full course of study includes five series of lessons, adapted to be
used in any denomination.
[Illustration]
=I. The Life of Jesus.=
=II. Studies about the Bible.=
=III. Bible Geography.=
=IV. Bible History.=
=V. History of the Christian Church.=
Two additional series of special interest to the Methodist Episcopal
Church have been prepared, namely:
=VI. History of the Methodist Episcopal Church.=
=VII. Government of the Methodist Episcopal Church.=
These lessons are arranged for use as graded studies for scholars ten
years of age and upward.
Each series contains thirty-six lessons, which can easily be learned in
the course of a year, even if the study be suspended during the summer
months.
=Sample Set, 7 numbers, 35 cents.=
=Price of each, per dozen, 50 cents; by mail, 60 cents.=
