TEXT: 'And the child grew and waXod
strong in spirit, filled with wisdom, and
the face Of God was upon Him. Luke XII,
40.
Concerning what bounded the bovhood
of Christ, the preacher said, we have whole
libraries of books and whole galleries of
canvas and sculpture. but pen and.pencil
and chisel have, with few exceptions,
passed by Christ, the village lad yet by
three conionted evidences" he said, Il
think we can come to as accurate an idea
of what Christ was as a boy as of what
Christ was as a man.
First, we have the Bible account of His
boyhood. Then we have the prolonged ac-
count of what Christ was at thirty years Of
age. We have besides an uninspired book
that was for the first three or four centuries
after Christs appearance received by many
as inspired, and which gives a prolonged
account of Christ bOyhOod.
THE so-caled apocryphal Gospel in
which the boyhoOd of Christ is dwelt upon,
/ do not believe to be divinely inspired. and
yet 1t may present facts worthy Of consid-
GRAFTON. Because it represents the boy
Christ as performing miracles, some have
overthrow that whole apocryphal book.
But what right have you to say that Christ
did not perform miracles at ten years OF
age, as well as at thirty? He was in boy
hood as certainly as divine as in manhood.
Then while a lad He must have had the
power to work miracles, whether He did
or not work them. When, having reached
manhood, Christ turned water into wine,
that was said to be the beginning of mir
acles. But that may mean that it was the
beginning OF that series of manhood mir
acles.
'In word, l think that the New Testa-
ment is only a small transcript of what
Jesus said and did. SO we are at liberty to
believe or reject those parts of the apocry-
phal Gospel which say that when the boy
Christ with His mother passed a band OF
thieves, He told His mother that two OF
them, Dumachus and Titus by name, would
be the two thieves who afterWard would
expire on crosses besides Him. Was that
more wonderful than some of Christ's man
hood prophecies? Or the inspired story
that the boy Christ made fountain spring
from the roots of a sycamore tree so that
His mother washed His coat in the stream
was that more unbelieyableth than the man
| hood miracle that changed common water
into marriage beverage? Or the unin
| spired story that two sick children were re-
covered by bathing in the water where
Christ had washed. Was that more won,
derful than the manhood miracle by which
the woman, twelve years complete in
valid, should have been made straight by

will enter into contract to expire

pleted soon after the commissioners

plan all cities and towns within ten
miles of the state house were to have
the privilege of taking water from
what was known as the metropolitan
Water system. Some of these. for
instance, Cambridge and Brookline,
lid not avail themselves OF this oppor-
unity, but at present there are eight
cities and six towns that have made
application for water, namely, Boston,
Somerville. Newton. Chelsea, Maiden,

Hyde Park, Revere, Winthrop,
Watertown and Mehose. The
cotter-dam at Clinton is practically
completed and il would he possible to
turn in the water from the Nashua
river at almost any time, but it is not
likely that this will be done before
next spring, as almost all the basins
will fill up during the winter. The
controversy over the Catholic GENE
terry at Clinton is unsettled but the
Water board does not seem to he par
ticularly worried as to the final out
come. The cemetery will in no way
act as an interference until the dam
is nearly completed, and as that will
not be for several years, there is no
cause for anxiety ON the part of any
one except the present lot owners.
The cemetery at BoyIston has been
taken by the Water board, and the
removal of the bodies, siXty-seven,
will take place in the early spring.
