E JEDGE’S JOSH n XX I. Jesus Growing (v. 40). While Jesus Christ was God, yet HI* #elty did not Interfere with His de velopment as a human being. The pmsesses of Ills physical, mental and •pirltual growth were the same as In MjU«octtw4y-humwO" hoi 1. “Grew and Waxed Strong.” It w«s necessary for His body to develop, fils brain, nerves and muscles must «ot only ^ttain unto their proper size IKrt must come to act together, become ton-elated. 2. “Filled With Wisdom.” His train ing was largely In the hands of His Bother. She was a Bible woman, as •vlnced by her song of praise when It was announced to her that God’s favor wa*to : come upon her. She was, there fore, a suitable teacher. She, no doobt, taught Him to commit Bible verses to memory and taught Him the great •torles of the Old Testament from the creation through the patriarch* and prophets. S. "And the Grace of God Was Upon Him.” By the grace of God doubtless fc mean*. God’s loving favor and tender rare. II. Jaaus Tarrying Behind at Jeru salem (vv. 41-43). At the age of twelve years the Jew ish child took His place as a wor shiper In the temple. He was then considered “a child of the law." Being ivnsdous of fils mission, when His mother and Joseph were returning from attendance at the Passover, Jesus tarried behind In the temple and In quired Into the meaning of the ordi nances of God'g house. He had an alert, eager mind which Inquired after truth, especially the truth concerning His Father’s house. His heart yearned for His Father. fH. Jmus Found In the Temple (w. 44-47). When His mother and Joseph had gone some distance on their return Journey they perceived that Jesus was not with them and sought for Him among their kinsfolk and acquaint- iinces. Not finding Him there, they re turned to Jerusalem, where they found Him In the temple. 1. He Wag Sitting (v. 46). This shows that He was no passing visitor er sightseer. He was perfectly at home In His Father’s house. 2. He Was Hearing the Teachers of God’s Word (v. 46) This shows that He was eager to learn God’s will. 3. He Asked Questions (v. 46). His growing mTniTwas Inquisitive, ft more than received what was taught It Inquired after truth] 4. He Answered Questions (v. 47). Tils answers showed great wisdom, such as to astonish those who heard Him, yet we should not surmise that He was consciously displaying tfis wis dom. It was not an exhibition of His divine wisdom, hut the expressl6n of, the workings of a perfect human mind suffused by the Holy Spirit. IV. Mary’s Complaining (vv. 48-50). She remonstrated with Him for His behavior. To this He replied In a dl^ nlfled, yet tender manner. He made no apology, showing that He was more than the son of Mary. God was His Father. Though Mary did not under stand these things, as a wise mother she kept them In her heart. V. Jesus’ Obedience (v. 51). Though He was fully conscious of His divine being and mission he lived a life full of filial obedience, thus tea'chlng us that obedience to parents Is pleasing to God and a duty which will be discharged faithfully by fhoeo who have the Spirit of Christ. VI. Jesus’ Development (v. 52). 1. Mental. He Increased In wisdom. Although the divine nature was united with the human, the human was left free to develop as a normal human mind. 2. Physical. He Increased In statnre. This shows that His body developed according to the lawg of a normal hu man. ; 3. Spiritual. He Increased In favor with God and man. As His mind in- creefed. ami His apprel^enshm of God hecaBe more full, the Hlvlne Being could more fully* expacae Himself through Him and, as the perfect Ufft was lived, men could recognise In Him superior qualities tnid, therefore their hearts' would open to Him.

Laurens, July 7.—Home folk, as sembled in the county court house to day by appointment, were addressed by Senator Dial, who is spending part of hi^ week off the campaign in Lau rens at his home here. The speech Whs made immediately after the public sales, there being a crowd present for the first Monday sale and for the meeting in the court house. The senator gave a clear, compre hensive review of his activities at Washington, emphasizing many of the measures in which he stood for economy as against the attempted exploitation of the treasury 'at the expense of the taxpayers. Portions of his address were in the nature of a heart to heart talk with his home people, and the speech was received with evident approval.

Hand-to-Hawd Struggle ' A city cousin who had never been on a fishing and camping trip came out to his uncle’s farm equipped with steel rod, reel, silk line and other fancy equipment. After the first hour of fishing in the old mud creek, he hooked a small catfish. Desperately he reeled it in until the tiny fish’s nose was jammed up against the end of the rod. “What shall I do with it now?” he asked Cousin John. Surveying the catch in all serious ness, John said: “Climb out on the pole and stab it with that new hunter’s knife of yours.” CITATION FOR LETTERS ADMIN ISTRATION The State of South Carolina, County of Laurens.
