his public ministry. One day Jesus was walking
by the sea and he saw two men-Simon, called
Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net in
the sea- And he said unto them: Follow me and
i Will make you fishers of men," They straight
way left their nets and followed him. He walked
on farther, when he came upon James, the of
Zebedee, and John, his brother, who also
In the ship mending their nets. He straightway
called them and they left their father in the ship
and followed him. Nathaniel was more doubtful
about Christs spiritual power until one day Jesus
saith unto him. Verify, verify say unto you,
hereafter ye shall heaven open and the angels
OF God ascending and descending upon the Son
of Man" And Christ went from place to place
until he had found his 12 apostles He was unwill-
ing to rest then. He began to give food to the
hungry sight to the blind, health to the sick and
comfort to aching hearts. Among the most illus
trious of his miracles was when he constrained
his disciples to go on board the boat and row
across the lake to Capernaum Then he sent away
the great crowd Cf people who were still eager
that he should be their king. When they were all
gone and he left alone he went up into the
mountain to pray. While he praying in tho
night a great storm came up the lake. When
the storm was at its height Jesus went to his dis
cipes walking the water as though the sea
were dry land. Then the men in the boat saw a
strange figure coming near them and Jesus called
out to them: BE Of good cheer; 1t is I; be not
afraid" After Jesus had performed many mira
cles the people asked him to do these things to
satisfy their curiosity. When he refused them
they became angry and left him. Finally, Jesus
turned to his IL apostles and asked: "Will ye also
go away and leave me?" But Simon Peter an
swered him: Lord. to whom shall we go? For
thou only hast the words of everlasting life" One
day. on entering the temple he saw that the mer-
chants and brokers were making everything sub
servent to their avarice. His anger rose at his
seeing these unholy doings in the temple. He did
not hesitate as to what should be done. He
threatened the traders with a scourge of small
cords. drove them out and said to them: "Take
these things hence; make not my Fathers house
an house of merchandise" After he left Jerusa-
lem he went directly to Aenon. near Salem, which
was the field Of John the Baptists labors. Here
he spent most OF his time from the Passover to
the late harvest He wished to instruct his dis
cipies more thoroughly In his teaching.

He took the child up in his arms and exclaimed:
Lord, now lettest thou they servant depart in
peace according to thy words For mine eyes
have seen thy salvation"
Joseph and Mary remained but short time with
their child in Egypt. The death of Herod later re-
called them to Palestine, and they returned to
their old place OF abode, the little town of Naza
reth in Gallee. They did this because the angel
of the Lord appeared to Joseph in q dream and
said: Take the young child and his mother and
fee into Egypt and be thou there until bring
thee word. for Herod will seek the young child
to destroy him." He grew strong in both body and
spirit Tradition says he wore a garment without
seams made OF kind of woven hair of purplish
brown color
The Gospels tell us nothing of his occupation as
a young man. Tradition relates, and it appears
truly that he spent the whole thirty years before
he began his ministry in retirement. John was

desert for the banks of the Jordan. He gathered
the people together in hosts. He announced that

and to prepare for the Messah's coming.
II was at Bethabara that John the Baptist saw
Jesus for the first time, and looking upon him
said: Behold the lamb OF God" 1t was here that
the ~ stones were set up, marking the spot where
the children OF Israel had crossed the Jordan dry
shod TO enter the promised land Jesus had come
to be baptized, but John refused until he heard
Jesus say Suffer 1t to be SO now for thus 1t be-
comes to fulfil all Righteousness" After Jesus
had spoken to the people he was led into tho
wilderness by the spirit. Here he was tempted
for 40 days by the devil. He was an hungered
and the devil said unto him: "If thou be the Son
of God command that this stone be made bread"
and Jesus answered him. saying 1T is written that
man shall not live by bread alone, but by every
word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God"
He next brought him to Jerusalem and sat him on
a pinnacle OF the temple and said unto him: "If
thou be the Son of God cast thyseif down from
hence" Jesus answered 1T is said thou shalt not
tempt the Lord thy God" Then the devil tempted
him third time. Offering Christ the kingdom OF
this world II he would worship him The answer
came, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and
him only shalt thou serve"
