The Silent Years.

Returning to Nazareth with Joseph and
Mary, He became subject unto them.
The eighteen years that followed that
have been called silent years. are full Of
suggestions even if the record is COM
pressed into two verses. During that
period our Lord lived a life of humble
subsection, probably working with
Joseph in the shop, where He learned
the trade Of the carpenter He learned
the lessons that later He would burn
into human hearts, doing His Fathers
business, while He was learning and toll
ing at the trade of carpenter. Joseph,
whose name does not occur again IN the
life of Christ, probably followed the Jew
ish practice of teaching trade, In this
case his own, to Jesus Tradition in
forms us that shortly after the return
to Nazareth Joseph answered the call
of death. This would place the task OF
providing for the family upon the grow
ing youth, who was increasing in wis
dom and stature in favor with God
and men," Jesus never shirked any
duty. He never failed to obey the calls
of humanity. The Fathers business had
sent Him to help men. He commenced
by helping the loved ones i'm the home at
Nazareth.
In some manner, possibly as DR.. Shauf-
fer suggests, making His own copy dur
ing this period Jesus obtained complete
mastery over the Old Testament. In His
ministry He quoted directly from two
thirds of its books. twenty-three out OF
the thirty-nine His marvellous Knowl-
edge at twelve surprised the doctors of
the law. but when the hour came for Him
to lay down the carpenters tools He was
prepared to use its marvellous words with
authority and power. He used the word
effectively in His contests with enemies,
His combats with foes aEI His CONVERSE
ton with friends. By the effective use of
the Scripture Jesus conquered Satan, sin
and sinners
During this period the practice of prayer
must have developed. His method of go
ing alone on the mountain sides all night
for secret prayer was probably formed.
In the crises of His life prayer and Scrip
ture brought. Him comfort and courage.
He realized through them the Fathers
presence. Through His secret communi-
cation with the Father and the study OF
the Old Testament he received spiritual
insight, while He was developing physical
strength at His daily task.
/. The Carpenter Of Nazareth working
obscurely at His trade. awaiting the hour
when the Father wiled for Him to reveal
himself to the world, is a lesson that
America needs to learn. Jesus as boy
knew that He must be a partner with
His Father, but He took thirty years to
prepare to do the work that required
about three and one-half years of labor.
We, too, must learn the lesson of submits

years Of Christs life teaches il we are to

Christ in the Temple.

This was probably our Lords first jour-
ney beyond Nazareth after the holy FAM
lily settled there upon its return from
Egypt. The journey TO the capital was
full Of interest. One can almost picture
Jesus at each stopping place. as well as
along the route, asking questions about
the historic past with which the local
places were identified. The age accord
ing to Edersheim, for Him to become "a
son of the commandments or ''of the
Torah," was thirteen. Up to that age the
father was held responsible for the boys
actions, but after that period the boy him.
self was held responsible for his own
deeds. 1t meant much to Christ to make
that journey.
Others may have found great attrac-
with it's services, was the center of our
Lords thoughts. I'm the midst OF the
doctors" He found the opportunity that
He had long desired, not only to learn
upon some of the truths that were al
ready finding clear conception in His
life and thought.
That He surpassed the ordinary you-ns
in His knowledge is clearly apparent. for
the doctors of the law were astonished
at His understanding and answers"
The requirements of the service did not
call for ones attendance at the passover
for a whole week. Evidently the zeal OF
Jesus to know caused Him to tarry i'm the
temple and miss His parents in the crowd
at the appointed place and hour At the
first camping place on their homeward
journey His absence was discovered.
Mary had gone on her journey without
Christ. We, too, have done the same
thing. She had to go back sorrowiny TO
where she left Him to find Him. We
must return to where We LEFT our Lord
in spirit of repentance to find Him. Je-
sus was lost in the temple. Did You ever
think that you could leave your Lord in
the church service? Mary, His mother.
did. They reproved Jesus for their own
folly in taking things for granted. We
must not suppose; We must know. The
question with which she greeted her lost
son brought forth an answer that fur
nishes us the keynote of His life.
We are apt to underrate the possibili-
ties of children for religious thought and
life. The answer of Jesus, twist We not
that / must be about my fathers busi-
ness?" proved that the call to do the will
of His father had received an affirmative
answer. Jesus had come to know him.
self the well beloved Son of God,
whom He knew as my Father. He re-
vealed the object Of His lifes work to
be engaged with the affairs of His
Father. He never defined the meaning
of father. but in His lite He revealed the
Father. The central theme of His min
istry was the same as His first and last
message that God Is my Father.
From His life, labor ard lessons We
have come to know God. He taught us
the nature of the Father He revealed to
us the heart of God in His love for US.

statements of the opening and closing
verses cover the period of preparation
in Nazareth for His messianic ministry.
The choice of the old home by Joseph
was not in accordance with his plans
when he returned from Egypt, but con-
ditions at the capital, with Archelaus as
king, led him to take up the home in
Nazareth, re-establish his business and
provide home for the family.

TUBERCULOSIS
TALKS APRIL Is
Minnesota To Preach Against
The White Plague Soon
After Easter
$4,000 OBSERVED DAY LAST YEAR
Dread Disease Is Being Fought
By Several Hundred
Associations

Sermons on the prevention of con-
sumption will be preached in thou
sands of churches on April 18th,
which the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tuber-
culosis, according to an announce
ment made today, has set aside as
tuberculosis Day.
Last year out of 100000 churches
in the United States, over so. 900 o5-
served tuberculosis Day. and mill
ions of churchgoers were told about
this disease from the pulpit. This
year will be the third observation of
tuberculosis Day. Plans are being
made to have the Gospel of Health
preached more widely than ever be-
fore.
Many Associations at Work
The movema nt will be pushed
through the 600 anti-tuberculosis
associations allied with the National
Association and through the boards
of health, women's clubs, and other
organizations in hundreds of cities
and towns throughout the country.
Through these various bodies the
churches will be reached and inter-
ested in the tuberculosis campaign.
Hi6h Death Rate
According to reports gathered by
the National Association in 1911,
practically 10 per cent of all deaths
in church congregations are caused
by tuberculosis. In study of 312.-
900 communicates of TBS churches in
which there were 1000 deaths in
1910, the death rate among these
church members was found to be
PA for every thousand commune
cants. This is higher than the rate
for the Registration Area of the
United States which was l so in 1910.
Serious Church Problem
while these statistics" says the
National Association, are not COM
parable from the point of view of
accuracy with those of the Bureau
of the Census, sufficient credence
may be given to them to indicate
that one of the most serious prob
lens the ordinary church has to con-
slider is that of the devastation of its
membership by tuberculosis. Every
minister in the United States should
give this subject some attention dur
ing the week preceding or that fol-
towing April 30th. "

short talk on the changes in forty
years in Massachusetts. The pro-

III. Gold the past week. Mr.. Dubois
has returned from Boston, New
York and Philadelphia where he has
been securing the faculty for Park
er College OF Winnebago which is to
open September. 1912. Mr.. Dubois
says he has secured some high grade
instructors and on various lines
Parker College will make a special
ty. An Instrumental teacher has
been secured from the Boston Con-
servatory to take charge of the
music. She has been one of the
teachers in the Boston Conserva-
tory of Mnsic, and comes we'll quail
flied and highly recommended. This
feature alone it is claimed will place
Parker College at the front with
the best institutions of the State.
Mrs. Dubois to Help
Mrs. Dubois we'll known work in
this community with chorus choirs,
will mean much to the College in
these lines.
Mr.. Dubois is Stocking carefully in
to, and doubtless will institute some
thing entirely new along educational
lines in the State of Minnesota.
This innovation will be a vocation
counse, or vocational guidance for
the students attending Parker.
Something on these lines has been
started in the schools of Boston and
is giving the best of satisfaction.
Chicago University Study System
The Chicago University is making
a technical study of this phase of
educational work. The idea is to
have the boy or girl, together with a
competent person make study of
the requirements of the various
yocations which he or she might be
able to enter, and also make study
of their qualifications as related to
the requirements in these vocations.

His friends in Redwood believe
Mr.. DuBois's interest in the young
people as shown during his residence
here, especially equips him for carry

says will aim to give the best in

9Th grade through high school. In
addition supervision will be extend
ed over the students outside of

A provision is being made by
means of dormitories to take care of
them and at a price little exceeding
the amount the average boy or girl
from an adjacent village must pay to

REDWOOD MAY
GET new ROAD
Interstate Route Probably Will
Follow the State Road to
Minneapolis.
PLAN IS APPROVED AT HURON
judge A. r. A. Laudon Tells
Dakota People of Plan
Morton Folks WORKING


On Feb. End and 3rd, convention
was held by the people of South Da-
kota and Wyoming relative to form
ing an organization to construct an
interstate road from the Yellowstone
Park via. Deadwood, Pierre, Huron,
Brookings and through Minnesota
and Wisconsin to Chicago. At the
meeting an organization was formed
to promote the road proposition.
At same time and independently
of the Wyoming Dakota movement,
number of local road enthusiasts
working under the auspices of the
commercial club. agitated the con-
struction of road from Redwood to
Minneapolis: Their work was so
successful that within a few weeks
it became apparent that such a road
would be constructed,
The people of South Dakota held
convention at Huron last Tuesday.
at which Judge A. R. A. Loudon was
present. The South Dakota people
expect to construct their road dur
ing the coming summer. One
county in South Dakota expects to
vote $1,000 in bonds for the pur-
pose of building roads through the
difficult hills which are on the line.
At the Huron convention Judge
Laudon explained the benefits to be
derived from a direct road through
Redwood Falls to the cities, explain
/ ing the attractinos and the topogra-
! ply of the country, and the South
Dakota people are enthusiastic over
the interstate road.
1t is expected that easy grades
will be found on the Minnesota hills
to make this road valuable. The
engineer in charge indicates that he
will be able to find less than per
cent grade on the Minnesota hills
south of the river, and the people in
charge expect t. find an equally
easy grade between Morton and
Franklin. 1t is understood that the
people of Morton have held several
meetings to boost the road and in
fact all the towns along the line arc
wide awake to the possibilities of
this interstate highway.
At 1.-THE convention at Deadwood.
February 2, and 3. and at Huron,
February Is, the interstate organic
alton was formed. 1t is planned to
build the road from the Yellowstone
Park to the twin cities by the way
of Deadwood, Pierre, Huron, Brook
ings, Lake Benton, Marshall, Red
wood Fails, Morton, Fairfax, Win
throp, Gaylord, Arlington. Green
Isle, Norwood, Waconia, Excelsior,
Minneapolis and to Chicago. 1t is
also expected that the highway will
be constructed westward to the Pa
cific Coast.
The Minnesota portion of this
highway is already well under way
in the matter of construction.
Several months ago the Commercial
Club of Redwood Falls appointed a
road committee consisting of A. r.
A. Laudon, A. G.. Colliff and Jos Ty-
son to undertake the task of agitat-
ing the construction Of such high
way through the state of Minnesota.
At the Huron convention Judge
Laudon was made a member of the
interstate committee The South
Dakota people will begin the con-
struction of their portion of the
highway as soon as spring opens.
