Bold Ensign EppS

Ensign Epps. at the battle of Flanders,
Slowed "A seed of glory and duty,
That beautiful flowers and flames In
hight ana beauty
Like crimson lily with hearts OF gold,
To-day, when the wars OF Chem are
old
And buried as deep as their dead ON
manders.
Ensign Epps was the color bearer
No matter on witch side, Philip or
Earl;
Their cause was the shell--his deed was
the pearl
Scarce more than lad, he had been a
sharer
That day in the widest work In the
. field.
He was wounded and spent, and the fight
was lost
His comrades were slain, or scattered
host.
But stainless and scathless. out OF the
strife,
He had carried his colors safer than life,
BY the rivers brink without wapon or
shield.

He began rolling a cigarette with

The dentist drew another dense

visit with the air cells, and accepted
the sympathy of the thirteenth and

Christ and His Work

ing of grain, the making of bread, the
mending of clothes, the washing .of
dishes, are used by Him. as illustra-
tions. He knows the ways of the
banker and the money lender, of
judges, lawyers, policemen, criminals
and physicians. He quotes the current
prices of articles of trade. He has
observed children at play and the
professedly devout at prayer. He
knows the details of feasts and we'd
dings even to the order of the guests
at table and the proper kind of gar
ments. But the references to these
things are rather those of an observer
from the outside than of an expert
from the inside.
Even IL He did make plows and
Jokes, as Justin Martyr says, 1t would
seem to have been as a part of farm
work rather than as carpenter. That
a preacher and teacher should have
neglected to draw Illustrations from
his own trade which He had seen His
father practice when He was boy,
is incredible The only conclusion
seems to be that the passage in St
Marks Gospel Is based on a misun-
derstanding of the fact stated in ST.
Matthew's that Joseph had ceased to
ply his trade before Jesus was old
enough to be interested in it, and
that Jesus himself was not a carpen.

The Mercur miner. [volume] (Mercur, Utah) 1895-1913, 1904-01-13

That Jesus of Nazareth was a car
penter by trade before He began His
ministry is generally assumed. Paint
ers and poets have represented Him
as working beside Joseph at the car
penter's bench. The assumption rests.
however, upon a single sentence in st.
Marks Gospel. In the parallel pass
age in St Matthew He is spoken
OF, not as a carpenter, but as the
carpenters SON" There is no other
mention in the Gospels eMwhere in
the New Testament.
That Jesus was a woodworker of
some kind was a tradition early cur
rent, and yet evidently received with
some doubt. Justin Martyr, one of the
earliest Christians after the apostles
whose writings have come down to us,
says that Jesus was deemed a car
penter for He was in the habit of
making plows and yokes." As will be
shown later, this probably means only
that Jesus had enough knowledge of
Woodworking to make certain agricul-
tural implements. In fact, the re-
corded sayings of Jesus according to
the careful analysis of them in the
current Craftsman tend to show that
His regular earthly vocation was
quite other than the carpenters.
Jesus in his sayings shows familiar

sional and agricultural life. The grind

New York, March S.-Yesterday's
disappointment over the non-appear-
ance of the Northern Securities deci-
sion still weighed upon the market to-
day, and threw it back into the rut
of dullness. and sluggishness, which
restricted its movement last week.
The movement of prices to-day was
not consistently in one direction for
as much as an hour during the whole
session. Prices futtered for a time,
either above or below yesterdays
level, but without getting far from
that in either direction. The state
ment in the annual report of President
Gould of the Missouri Pacific of the
purchase of a sufficient of Wabash
preferred stock to consolidate it's con-
troll was the subject of some COM
ment, but was chiefly notable for en-
tire absence of effect upon the mar
ket.
Community of Interest.
The passing of the Community of
interest" idea as a factor in the stock
market movements is thus strikingly
manifested, under the shadow of the
threatened disjunction of the COM
panies composing the Northern Securi-
ties Company. The rise in the local
fractions was attributed to the pros
pect of street car service over the
Williamsburg East River bridge. Penn
sylvania was freely offered, with ac-
companying rumors of a prospective
issue of $4,000, 900 of car trust bonds,
subsequently denied. Reports of food
damage and obstruction were another
influence.
