Friends and relatives invited.
Henderson daily dispatch. (Henderson, N.C.) 1914-1995, 1938-12-30
BY NEWMAN CAMPBELL.

Last Sunday we told the story of
Jesus birth Today we find Him a
grown man, preaching to multitudes
of people, and calling men to give up
their work and follow Him.
Two charming stories are told in
the Gospel of Luke of the time in
between, when He was a child The
first tells of the Baby Jesus being
taken to Jerusalem to the temple, to
be presented to the Lord" and a sa-
crifice made for Him, according to
Jewish law. Now there lived in
was Simeon, whose days We're nearly
done. But the Holy Ghost came to him
and told him that he should not die
until he had seen the Christ Child
So Simeon went to the temple, and
when he saw Joseph and Mary with
the Holy Babe, he took Him up in his
arms and blessed God and then said :
Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant
depart in peace, according to Thy
word, for mine eyes have seen Thy
salvation"
Then there is the story which we
told some weeks ago about Jesus and
His parents again in Jerusalem, and
Joseph and Mary starting for home
and missing their Son. You remem-
Der how they found Him in the tenn
pie talking with the priests and how
he couldn't understand why they were
worried about Him, for He twas about
His fathers business" These were
some of the things that Mary, His
Mother. kept in her heart
Now when Jesus was a grown man
and began preaching, He had at first
no followers. But Jesus had been bap-
tized by John the Baptist, who really
was his cousin, and was sent to pro-
phesy Jesus, coming. While Jesus was
being baptized by John, the Holy
Ghost had descended upon Him, and
the heavens had opened and a voice
was heard to say, This is my Dearly
Beloved Son in whom I am well
pleased"
Now two men had seen this and
they followed Jesus and lived with
Him. Andrew was still another who
had witnessed the baptism, and he
was the brother of Simon. He sought
| his brother and took him to Jesus
When he saw Simon, he called him
| Cephas, or Peter, when means rock
or stone, meaning that he was
strong and reliable.
Now Simon Peter and his brothers
were fishermen, and year after this
meeting, they met Jesus again al
Galillee. They had fished all night
and were weary and discouraged
