to make a voyage down through the
skin of an ordinary brain and into
the steaming darkness where its
flesh lies and truth is hidden, then
think what it would be like to
make such a voyage and discover
at the end this truth: Here is no
ordinary man, here is one ordained
by God to be the Messiah.
For little more than an act, Mr.
Anderson seems about to do it. He
prepares the journey skillfully and
swiftly and starts upon 1t before
even the audiences heart has had
time to climb into its throat. The
start is tremendous thing.
The family of Joseph is on its
way to Jerusalem. They have had
intimations that their Jeshua-or
Jesus, as he is known to the Western
worlds the Messiah, but they
dare not think it and dare not hope
it and are not sure of it. So, how
can they let Jesuha himself get an
inkling of what he is, for if it is not
true, if he is merely an extraor-
dinary gifted boy, then would not
the thought that he is the Messiah
destroy him?
Then He Sees Him.
For II years, their thoughts have
been kept from Joshua successfully,
but now a crises has been reached.
Herod Antipas, as his father, Herod
the great, before him, is seeking the
Messiah to destroy him. He is
searching in Jerusalem and if
Joseph and Miriam-or Mary, as
the West calls her-keep Jesuha
from Jerusalem, then Jesuha must
guess that it is because he is the
Messiah. So they make the journey,
Joseph and Miriam trusting in God
to protect His own.
In the desert they are held up by
a band led by Simeon who, since
becoming an outlaw after the revo-
luton of Judah against Rome, has
raised his hand against every man
and thus calls himself Ishmael.
This Ishmael is a tough and violent
man, made desperate by the know
ledge that he is dying. All that
keeps him alive is the promise of
the Lord that he will see the Mes
siah before he is dead.
And now he sees Him. Ishmael
has taken the money of the little
party, of Joseph and Shadrach, and
has explained why in a fiery and
moving speech against Rome and
the submission of the Jews to Rome.
He turns to go and Jesuha steps
forward, holding out the money

years old they went up to Jerusalem,
after the custom of the feast. And
when they had fulfilled the days, as
they returned, the Child Jesus tar
ried behind in Jerusalem, and
Joseph and His mother knew not OF
1t. But they, supposing Him to have
been in the company, went days

among their kinsfolk and acquaint-
ance. And when they found Him
not, they turned back again to
Jerusalem, seeking Him.
"And it came to pass that, after
three days, they found Him in the
temple, sitting in the midst OF the
doctors, both hearing them and
asking them question. And all that
heard Him were astonished at HIS
understanding and answers. And
when they saw Him, they were
amazed: and His mother said unto
Him, son, why hast thou thus dealt
with us? Behold, thy Father and I
have sought thee sorrowing.
"And He said unto them, how is
It that We sought me? Wist ye not
that I must be about My Fathers

Searched by Few.
1t is a terrible and beautiful ex-
perience to search ones own mind
and discover what oneself is. Few
can do 1t. Most of us go through
life unknown even to ourselves. For
we are first the mind that We know
we have, the conscious mind, the
mind with which we know we think
and feel. This has many layers
and we are aware of them in vary
Ing degree; some of us knowing
more layers than others, but only
handful knowing all the layers.
But this, it is recognized, this
conscious mind and all its layers,
Is merely the skin of a mind and
the flesh itself lies deep within it
In Darkness. This inner mind is
searched by few and Of those few,
the majority fail to understand it.
But, however that is. whether un-
known to us or misunderstood by us,
the inner mind remains in COM

the making of what we are.

Alice, powdered, perfumed and

of all deaths. Disabilities from ac-
cidents in children under Is years
of age are as frequent as those
caused by the acute communicable
diseases of childhood. As many
children under five years of age
are killed by accidents as those
between five and Is.
It is a serious commentary upon
our social organization that while
we have been saving more and
more children from the CASTRO
intestinal diseases. smallpox, diph-
iberia, scarlet fever and other
acute diseases we have not at the
same time made as great gains in
the prevention of accidents In our
homes and on the public highways.
In those places where special
attention has been paid to accident
prevention encouraging results
have been obtained, but there is
still considerable room for improve
ment in wide stretches of the
United States.
Young children suffer from all
kinds of accidents, principally in
the home from burns, falls, suffo-
cation, poisoning, cuts and electric
shocks. Young children are likely
to put any object at hand into their
mouth, ears or nose and this may
result in serious trouble. This
points clearly to careless habits or
unsafe conditions in the homes.
More vigilance is needed in keep
ing matches away from children
and in protecting them against gas
stoves and open CRATES as well as
from tubs of hot water.
While nearly as many children
are killed, and many more injured,
at home than on the streets, auto
mobile accidents now take a heavy
toll of child life.
1t is encouraging that the whole
country is becoming aroused to the
necessity for more intensive odu-
cation along accident prevention
lines. Safety councils, traffic po-
lice, school teachers, parent-teach-
er groups and the Red Cross are
all urging eternal vigilance and
cooperation with the public au-
thorities to help reduce the large
number of unnecessary traffic ac-
cidents.
