been expecting the coming of a Savior to the Jews
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 Galilee They did this because the angel
of the Lord appeared to Joseph in dream and
said: Take the young child and his mother and
fee into Egypt and be thou there until l 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, raads of kind of woven hair of " purplish
brown color.
The Gospels tell us nothing of his occupation as
a young man. Tradition relates, and 1t appears
truly that he spent the whole thirty years before
he began his ministry in retirement. John
the first to announce the great work Jesus in
tended doing. He abandoned the solitude of the
desert for the banks of the Jordan. He gathered
the people together in hosts. He announced that
they were to be delivered from sin and bondage,
and to prepare for the Messiah's coming.
1t was at Bethabara that John the Baptist
Jesus for the first time and looking upon him
said: Behold the lamb of God" 1t was here that
the IL 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 it to be now, for thus it be-
comes to fulfil all righteousness" After Jesus
had spoken to the people he was led into the
wilderness by the spirit. Here he 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
shall not live by bread alone. but by every
word that proceeGeth 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 myself 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 If he would worship him. The answer
came, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and
him only shalt thou serve"
The temptation is the expression of the period
that interviewed between Christs private life and

his public ministry. One day Jesus was walking
by the and he two men-Simon, called
Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting net in
tho sea. And he said unto them: Follow me and
l 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 son of
Zebedee, and John his brother, who were 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 We shall see 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 IL apostles. He 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 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 of people who still eager
that he should be their king. When they were all
gone and he was left alone he went up into the
mountain to pray. While he was praying in tho
night great storm up the lake. When
the storm at its height Jesus went to his dis
ciDes walking the water though the
were dry land. Then the men in the boat saw
strange figure coming near them and Jesus called
cut to them: BE of good cheer; it is l; be not
afraid" After Jesus had performed many mira
Giles 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 10 his IL apostles and asked viii We also

CAN A YOUNG MAN LOVE Two
GIRLS SIMULTANEOUS

The brilliant black eye
May in triumph let fly
All its darts without caring who feels 'em:
But the soft eye of blue
Though it scatter wounds, too,
Is much better pleased when 1t heals
'em.
So much is said about a mans best
girl that we cannot help wondering
how many girls he is supposed to
have. Does each awaken similar SEN
timents in his breast or is his lik-
ing carefully graded? 1t must be
conceded that he pays each one a GER
tain amount of attention or one flame
or the other would die out for lack OF
sparkling. If he is an athletic young
fellow, fond of out-of-door sports, he
has one girl for the golf links or one
who doesn't balk at a five-mile walk
on biustery afternoon. He has his
automobile girl, who doesn't culver
an eyelash no matter how near he
reaches the danger mark in dashing
along. She's the girl, too, he takes
toboggan sliding and to the races.
But she isn't the girl he takes to
the theater, or to the restaurant after
ward, ordering wine for her exultant
over the sensation she creates when
she dances the tango with him the
length of the spacious dining room.
Then there's the pretty stenographer
in his uncle's Office She is the girl
he presents with books because she
refuses bonbons. He waits for Der
on stormy evenings to take her to
car, and it is she of whom he asks ad-
vice on matters relating to her sex
whether fellow was justified In re-
fusing an invitation to some affair
which he did not care to attend, al
though he half suspected it was ar
ranged for his benefit. He considers
the advisability of breaking with two
or three Of his pleasant companions
ere they become sweethearts.
But it is so difficult that he fears
he is equally in love with each and
every one of them. When his dear
old mother asks him to bring his best
girl around for some little home gath
ering, he does lot of thinking. The
dear old soul would not understand
the girl who dotted on golf, but de-
tested breadmaking and home duties.
Nor would the girl mad over tango
and cocktails appeal to her.

Gastronomlc Clock.

An ingenious Frenchman once de-
vised clock that would tell him the
time In the dark, not through his eyes
but through his mouth. Beside his
bed he placed large fat clock dial on
which every hour was marked by a
small cavity. In each of these he
placed different spice; the figure II,
for instance, held quipue, and the fig
ure 6 cloves.
To find the time he felt for the
short hand with his fingers, and
dipped them into the cavity to which
1t pointed, then tasted his fingers.
This gave him the hour. To get the
minutes he felt for the long hand and
tasted the spice to which it pointed.
If he tasted pepper and then nutmeg,
for instance, he knew 1t was half past
three.

GIRLS WHO DREAM OF WEALTH.


Can wealth give happiness? Look round
and see
What gay distress, what splendid mis-
cry!
Whatever fortune lavishly can pour
The mind annihilates and calls for
more"
II has been said that worldly
wealth is the DEVILS bait; those whose
minds feed upon yiches recede in gen.
eral from real happiness"
1t Is sad enough to see those who
are weary battling with the world
grasping for wealth, but it is sadder
still to hear from the lips of a girl In
her teens "I'll never marry unless l
can get rich man." Such girl sees
before her minds eye visions of splen-
dora fine home, liveried servants,
automobiles, an opera box and flash
ing jewels. 1t never occurs to her to
give thought to the kind of a man
who would give her all of these lux
uries.
If she were to be transplanted from
her humble home to such a life of

it would mean raising an impossible
barrier between those who had loved
and toiled with her and herself
She could not continue the intimacy
with the girls who had worked side
by side with her, sharing their torn
umbrellas with her because she was
too poor to own one; aye and their
luncheons, a bit of dessert that was
such treat to her. The lives of the
women who had been born to wealth
would be far apart from hers.
She cannot drop the threads of an
old life and pick up those of a new
and fit into the surroundings perfect
ly in many a day.
There can be unhappiness under
meath silken bodices. The rich man
girl is pleased to wed may have
tastes that are repulsive to a refined
girl; glazing faults that would bar her
from joy; an unsympathetic nature
and cold heart. Could flashing gems
and shimmering silks satisfy her long

her loneliness: Would that had
welded the poor, struggling clerk,
who loved me well. He would have
spent his evenings at home, l would
have work to do; but toll would have
been sweet for loves sake" If poor
girl marries rich, she has no guaran-
ty his wealth may not take wings.
When she is older, weaker, unable to
cope with the world, she seeks eagerly
for the work she tossed so gladly
from her in the days when she was
young and life before her. Girls
should marry for love and help their
husbands accumulate wealth. Then

If she is not much interested in
boys, she makes her own choice quick
ly---she will seek employment. There
are other girls who sit down in their
homes and wait for their imaginary
husbands to come along.
She may find fault with the first
young man who sees her home from
a friends house. Another young man
calls. He is agreeable, but says moth
ing of matrimony. The next man may
not be in a position to support wife.
The family that is growing poorer is
not able to take on an extra burden.
When these would-be suitors cease
coming, none other presents himself.
At last she follows the hard fate of
many another similarly placed--weds
an elderly widower, who takes her not
for love, but to look after his house
full of children.
The girl who has faced wedlock
rather than work finds she has made
a mess of it. She who took to en-
ployment, leaving her matrimonial
chances to follow after, is always
spick and span. She has her own
money, and can look the world fear
lessly in the face.
She realizes her own value, knows,
too, that there's an army of fine, in
dustrious young men looking for just
such q wife as she would make. She's
a Jewel in the home, and won't miss
the few years she devotes to helping
her parents. The girl who prefers to
wed rather than go to work often
finds she made sorry mess OF it.
She finds there are other tribula-
tons greater than that of earning her
own living Such girls are always
more fortunate in making happy
love match. The girl who earns her
own money does not encourage a
mans hope of wedlock who is dis
tasteful to her. She weds for love
only. Parents cannot do better than
to influence their daughters to put
work before dreams of wedlock.
