Frank De Witt Talmatfe, D.D. Los Angelos, Cal., April 29.—In this sermon the preacher takes us back to that wonderful period of life when the mind of the child, emerging from the mysterious twilight laud, first begins ! cause I believe it. But I must give him ns Christ astonished the lawyers and doctors in the temple when but twelve years of age? Some time ago an anx ious mother said: t‘\Vheu my children were very young they were mine. 1 could say to them. ‘Children, sit down!’ and they would sit down. I could read to them a book md explain to them the pictures, and they would accept my sutements as true, because mother smd it. But there comes a time when I feel my boy’s hand loosening its grasp upon my hand. Then I see him move away and leave my side and be gin to walk alone and to think for him self. Then I cannot say, ‘Child, do this,’ and he will do it simply because his mother tells him to do it. I cannot say. ‘Child, believe this,’ merely be- to think independently. He warns us to respect these visions of childhood. The text is Luke ii, 49, “Wist ye not that I must be about My Father’s busi ness?’’ Without doubt one of the most satis factory pictures ever painted of Jesus Christ is that of Hoffman, called “Christ the Boy Talking With the Doc tors In the Temple.” We have seen scores of pictures of Jesus Christ. The Parisian Louvre is full of them. Tim Vatican is full of them. The art gal leries of Antwerp and Brussels and Berlin and Venice are full of them. But, though the greatest artists have 185 acre farm 7 miles from Gaffney, $15. ! exhausted their genius to reproduce 00 per acre. for us an inspired idea of the Saviour’s 140 acre farm near Cherokee Falls, 41 face, yet most of them have come far acres in fine bottoms, 60 acres virgin i short of the ideal.

Christ's face too effeminate, as did an intelligent reason why he should do so and why he should believe.” Then as the child moves away from his moth er's side the mother must sit still and pray to God that he will help guide her boy. Yes, as parents we have all gone through this experience. For years and years our children have followed us, as bleating lambs follow the mother sheep. But some day we turn our eyes to see where the children are. Then, much to our surprise, they are not by our side. Then we look up the moun tain heights. There we see our boys and girls beginning to climb. Along the dizzy precipices they go. Over the dangerous roexs, higher and higher, like Alpine hunters, they mount or bal ance. They are climbing up the moun tains of original research. They are climbing up the mountains of thought. They are starting out for the mouu- , , , . tains of fame.

But, my friends, if It is es sential for the developed man to have perfect visious ever before him, how much more importaut is it for the un developed child to have visious before him! These visious, when they come from God, are not like the unaccount able mirages of the desert or like air castles builded In the sandy wastes. They are rational visions builded by the angel of hope saying to the <^iild: “Boy, girl, with thy physical and men tal and spiritual nature God bids thee to reach out to accomplish these things which thou now seest. Look up, look out, look on.” Frances Hodgson Bur nett, looking into the dim past and writing the history of her girlhood days in that fascinating book called “The One I Knew Best of All,” is not seeing a more realistic character than do some children when they look into the dim future and by reason of their physical aud mental and spiritual tend encies picture themselves as some day being lawyers or doctors or min isters or merchants or bankers or in ventors or musicians or statesmen or poets or songsters or reformers. These children by such visions hear the call for future work. They hear It so clear ly and distinctly that in their minds there Is no doubt as to that call com ing direct from the throne of God. But we must rot stop here in the dis cussion of this mighty theme. It is very important to have the visions of youth, but it is just as importaut to have the child developed aright after those first visions have come and gone. These first visions of childhood always seem to me like the little green shoots which spring up out of the ground. Care for them. Give them plenty of sunlight, and let not the winds handle them too roughly, or the cold freeze them, or the droughts parch them, and they will change themselves Into the saplings, then after awhile into the stout young trees and then into the giant oaks, but crush the roots or de stroy the first visions and you may ruin the whole after development, If I might use another illustration, the visions of childhood impress me like the delicate films or plates which the photographer puts into his instru ment when he is about to take a pic ture. He carefully guards those films from all light or else they are destroy ed. When I was traveling around the world I had quite a number of these rolls of films. I did not know how to care for them. The result was that when I reached Calcutta, India, and went to have my negatives developed I found that I had nothing but blank paper. Then after the pictures have been taken the protographer takes the negatives into a dark room, where, with certain acids, he develops them. Then he gives to you the photographs, which you place upon your bureaus or hang upon your walls. Bo with the films of the child's train. The divine sun shines upon them. Tin? negatives will then appear. They are God’s first visions, but oh. so delicate! They of ten can be rubbed out almost at a touch. We had better beware how we laugh at or denounce the child. Selllah Parent*. And yet Inevitably we heed but little the visions of a child of twelve sum mers. If your boy, Just eutering his teeus, comes to you some evening in the library and says, “Father, I would like to give my heart to Christ to go out as a missionary to China or Afri ca,” what would you do? Would you stop and take that child upon your lap, as though he was seeing a vision from God? Would you toll him of the glori ous usefulness which such a life of self sacrifice would produce? Perhaps. Qut I rather think (his is the way you would do: You would look up for an Instant from your book or ledger or the manuscript you were reading or writ- in;/, and you would say: “Yes, yes, child; yes, yes! That would be nice. But run away now. Papa is very busy. Run away.” Supposing some day you should find your little girl crying over the story of "Little Nell.” Supposing er myself in my great chair at sc!: >0! I s ^ ie looks up to you and says: “Oh, s so: .0 dictator over a cor.iuionwea’tli lu noering among unseen worlds, general !y comes to the boys and the girls v hen they are about to pass the twelfth golden milestone. Looking into the past, we know this was our own ‘ arsona 1 experience. Thus is it with a e first coming of God’s visions to our children. IJojh Who Heard the Call. Not only do these visions come to the I child of twelve, but they come in a and intelligent, t i‘ ; ,ti oua i way. When God gives to the 1 \ oung boy a vision be is not pictur ing for him a future life which is im possible to be realized. God is giving to him the same kind of vision that lie gave to the boy Jacob, and to the boy Joseph, and to the boy Samuel, and to the boy David, and to the boy Christ. These ancient boys as well as the modern boys of twelve may not fully realize what their futures are to bo, but something within them says, "O child, thou art to l*e this or fhut or the other thing on account of thy mental and physical and spiritual powers.” ■| These. boy children of twelve feel the inward as well as the outward callings ture life work, but the parents and the guardians and the teachers may see the trend of their minds and hearts i they only watch the actions of these children closely and intelligently. The j other day 1 was very much Interested I in reading a letter which John Adam.-. 1!." yoang schoolteacher of Worcester. Mass., wrote of his old college friends.! The second president of the United j IVtle.s was then a young pedagogue.; This is the letter: “1 sometimes eonsld child, will all be realized. They will all be fulfilled f they were true visions from God. Let me illustrate my thought by the life of Jesus Christ. I love to think ot the journey which this Divine Child took to the capital of his great ancestor, King David. Je*ms up to this time was nothing but a bo$. Tis true, he was a perfect boy, but he was a boy, with all the healthful d<*sires of childhood. He was not a boy with the character of a girl, but a boy, a healthful, beautiful, noble boy. He could romp and play like other boys. In the games played between his companions and himself I have always thought there was no laugh merrier than his and no rollick ing joy more full and hearty. I can never think of Christ as a frail baby or a sickly boy. Every part of him to me was that of a well rounded, perfect ly formed child. He was a boy who was the life of his home, a boy who was loved by every one. Now, It was a custom of all the Isra elites ordained by the Mosaic law to attend the feast of the passover once a year. This feast took place in the springtime. It was a combination, if I might use the simile, of our Thanks giving day and Fourth of July. It was a time when the Hebrews assembled in Jerusalem to thank God for their (jberation from Egyptian slavery. In the spring of each year from the little village of Nazareth, among the Zebu- Ion hills In the far north, the men and women would start on their sacred pil grimage. The children were left be hind as a rule on account of the length, the fatigue and the danger of the jour ney. Methinks I can see Christ and the other boys of Nazareth climb the hills to watch their fathers disappear in the distance. But one year Christ does not mingle with the boys. He has come to the sacred age of twelve. This is the year that all the Hebrew boys are al lowed to join the caravan. Thus as he walks along with his parents I see his cheeks flushed with excitement. This is most natural. Christ the boy for the first time is going to see a great city. Christ the boy is going to the capital of his country. Were you not excited when your father, a farmer, took you to the city for the first time? 4" the Temple. But as Christ the boy wanders around that great capital, with its walls and palaces and temple and its thousands of inhabitants and visitors, there rises before him the dim vision of who he is and what God wants him to do. The vision is there dim in out line, but it is there. He naturally Irifts to the temple and talks with the learned rabbis, who sat there to teach and answer questions. The thought that he was the Messiah whom the Jews were expecting was probably in liis mind. He wanted to learn what was the idea that the doctors had of that being, and his inquiries showed so much intelligence that they marvel ed at him. He had had a vision, but neither they nor ids parents, when they came, understood it. What be came of that vision? For ten, fifteen- aye, for nearly twenty —years the world hears nothing more about this strange boy. Like so many other youthful prodigies, he seems to disap pear forever. lie not only goes back to Nazareth, but instead of being a messenger of God he seems to become nothing but a carpenter. But nearly a score of years afterward we see this Christ in Cana, by Lake Galilee. Then in rapid succession come the Jordanic baptism and the miracles. Then come Gethsemane and Calvary, then the Easter resurrection and the ascension. Ah, did Christ’s vision of boyhood come true? So. my friends, I want to tell you that the fulfillment of your child's visions, if they are of God and you welcome them aright, will come true, though they may be many years hidden away In a Nazareth oblivion. Beware how you sneer at those visions of the twelfth year. ( But as I pled with you to be careful jver-Work Weakens Your Kidneys. Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.

Oh, the visions of youth! How im portant they are for the development of the child.
