Zee was usually turned over to Him.
duke ", 16) Yet the people maryelled,
saying, How comes it that Jesus is a
man of letters, having never gone to
school? And they all bare Him wit
ness and wondered at the grace of His
speech. duke iv, 22) The explana-
ton is that Jesus was perfect, while
an about Him were imperfect.
Our lesson relates particularly to an
incident which occurred when Jesus
was twelve years old His parents"
0beyed the Mosaic Law by attending
the Feast of Passover at Jerusalem ev-
cry year, and on this occasion Jesus
was with them. The expression, par
ents," does not imply that Saint Luke
supposed Joseph to be the father of
Jesus any more than that Mary so con-
sidered the matter when she spoke Of
Joseph as being His father" He was
the foster father of Jesus. The Ian
guage is in exact harmony with what
we would use under such circum-
st<iuetS toudg.
Jesus knew of His peculiar birth and
of the great prophecies which centered
In Him, related by Gabriel to His
mother, and He was on the alert to
fulfil His mission-the will of the
Heavenly Father. He surmised that
since at twelve years of age Jewish
boys came under the requirements of
the Law Covenant, this arrangement
indication of His proper course.
Therefore He resolved to consult the
very highest authorities respecting the
teachings of the Law on this subject
He sought intercourse with the learned
Scribes and Pharlsees and Doctors
During a considerable part of the time
of the Passover Feast the great men
of His nation were engaged in public
functions, and hence His best opportu-
nifty for conference with them was at
the close of the feast, and whenever
He could gain their attention.
When the time came for the return
journey He had not finished His iGves-
LEGATIONS of the Scripture teachings on
this point. His parents. thinking that
He was in the company with some of
their relatives, went a days journey
homeward before they ascertained that
He was not in the company. Then
the returned and sought Him and

Jesus Increased In Wisdom.
In the last verse of our study we
read: Jesus increased in wisdom and
stature, and in favor with God and
men" It was not a boy who was to
be the Redeemer, even as it was not
a boy who had sinned. Jesus, there
fore, to be a corresponding price for
Father Adam and the race which lost
life in Him, needed first to be devel-
oped into manhood.
For eighteen years He kept growing
in wisdom and in grace of character
He did not grow in the Fathers IA
vor in the sense of becoming less sin
ful and more righteous, but in the
sense Of becoming developed reaching
human perfection. Just so a piece of
fruit in growing may be as perfect of
Its kind at the beginning as at the
end. but it grows in size and in rich
ness Of flavor and therefore in the ap-
probation of the owner.
So with Jesus. The perfect babe be-
came the perfect boy; the perfect boy
became the perfect youth; the perfect
youth became the perfect man; and at
thirty years Of age was ripe and ready
TO be offered as an acceptable sacrifice
Of sweet SAVIOR TO God, on behalf Of
mankind-"the Just for the unjust"

What may We take unto the vast
 forever? That marble door Admits no fruit of all our long en-
 deavor, No fawn- wreathed crown we wore No garnered lore. What can we bear beyond the un-
 known portals? No gold. no gains Of all our toiling; in the life i'm
 mOtal No hoarded wealth remains. Nor guilt. nor stains. Naked from out the far abyss be
 hird us
 We enter here: No word came with our coming to
 remind us What wordrous world was near. No hope. no fear. Into the silent. starless night before
 us, Naked we glide. No hand has mapped the cdnstella-
 tion OCT us. No comrade at our side, No chart. no guide. Yet fearless toward that midnight
 black and hollow, Our footsteps fare; That beckoning of Fathers hand
 we follow His love alone is there; No curse. no care.

Ing to Hammond last night Via East
Chicago were rudely jolted and awak-
ened from their slum bers when the car
in which they were riding split switch
on Forsthye avenue, half block south
of Chicago avenue, in East Chicago. The
switch was formerly used by the Hast
fngs Express company
The rear trucks went off the track,
and their turning broke the brake rod,
making il impossible for Motorman
Charles Bowman to bring the car TO a
stop. With the rear end Of the car now
headed for the curb. the passengers
suddenly found themselves going back
ward until the car crashed into one of
the city's new ornamental light poles.
The iron pole was broken off two
feet above the ground. and it this
collision that brought the car to a step
without further damage. The man
agement said this morning that it had
received no complaint about injuries
from any of the thirteen passengers
who were on the car Al the time.
Conductor d. IT. Hoke was in charge
of the car. and no blame is attached to
the crew by the company officials.

MOOSE

Gov. Ralston Beset With
Applications from Bull
Moosers Who Want the
Places on Bipartisan
Boards.
TIMES BUREAU
AT THE STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis Ind, Dec 9.-Governor-
elect Ralston has announced that when
it comes to the distribution of appoint
ments in cases where the law requires
them to be made from other political
parties than the democratic party he
is going TO recognize the progressive
party along with the republican party.
However. there is nothing in the law
of this state that requires him to make
his appointments from any special po-
litical party. There are a number Of
boards and commissions which. under
the law. are bipartisan. The law says
that not more than two members out Of
three shall be taken from any one po-
litical party. There is a sort of general
belief among the people that this means
that the governor must make the ap-
pontments from the two leading politf-
cal parties, which, at this time. would
mean the democratic and the progress
sive parties. from the fact that pro-
gressives ran ahead of the republicans
at the recent election in Indiana. Such
is not the case. however Governor
Ralston may make his appointments
from the republican. progressive. pro-
hibition, socialist or any other party.
so long as he follows the law and
makes no more than the number al
lowed by law from any one party.
Some of the progressive leaders have
been insisting that the governor shall
refuse to recognize the republican party
in making appointments and that he
shall give the places to progressives,
but Mr.. Ralston has Indicated that he
will do as he pleases about this and
that he probably will give some of the
| places to progressives. Some of the
places on bipartisan boards and COM
missions are rich plums. For instance,
! she members of the railroad commission
get $4,000 q year, and members of the
of the boards, such as boards of trus-
/ tees of state institutions. do not pay
much. but they are bipartisan, just the
same.
