In beginning the lesson the teacher should state the subject of the lesson for the day, and ask one or two questions about it, to get the children interested at the outset. Then, the teacher should tell the story from "Hurlbut's Story of the Bible," explaining how God sent his Angel G[=a]´br[)i]-el to Z[)a]ch-a-r[=i]´as, the old priest in the temple, to tell him that his wife [+E]-l[)i][s+]´a-b[)e]th should have a son, and that the name of the son should be J[)o]hn.
