The perfec t boy was of course far in advance of Imperfect children. The schooliug privileges of today were unknown. The education gleaned by the masses came to them chiefly through contact with their elders; his? tory itself being handed down from generation to generation, except for the scholarly. Few had more opportunities than this?few were able to read; but Jesus was amongst those few?not because of schooling privileges in His youth, but because of His brilliant mind, which re? tained everything that came to It. The superiority of the abilities of Jesus are attest? ed by the fact that when He en? tered the syna? gogue of His . home city, Naza- "f** went "P t0 Jtl reth. His tu I - ent as a reader and exponent was so generally recognized that the serv? ice was usually turned over to Him. (Luke iv, 16.? Yet the people marvelled, saying. How comes it that Jesus is a man of letters, having never gone to school? And they all bare Him wit ness and wondered at the grace of His speech. (Luke iv, 22.? The explana? tion Is that Jesus was perfect, while all about Him were imperfect. Onr lesson relates particularly to an incident which occurred when Jesus was twelve years old. His "parents* obeyed the Mosaic Law by attending the Feast of Passover at Jerusalem ev? ery year, aud on this occasion Jesus was with them. The expression, "par? ents," does not imply that Saint Luke supposed Joseph to be the father of Jesus any more than that Mary z j con? sidered the matter whm. she spoke of Joseph a* being His "father." He was the foster father of Jesus. The lan? guage is in exact harmony with what we would use under such circum? stances today. Jesus knew of His peculiar birtu and of the great prophecies which centered in Him. related by Gabriel to His mother, and He was on the alert to fulfil His mission-the will of the Heavenly Father. He surmised that since at twelve years of age Jewish boys came under the requirements of the Law Covenant, this* nrnftigement might possibly have been made as an indication of His proper course. Therefore He resolved to consult the very highest authorities respecting the teachings of the Law on this subject. He sought intercourse with the learned ; Scribes and Pharisees and Doctors. During a considerable part of the time ' of the Passover Feast the great men of His nation were engaged in public ! functions, and hence His best opportu nity for conference with them was at the close of the feast, and whenever ! He could gain their attention. When the time tame for the return journey He had not tinished His inves tigations of the Scripture teaching* 00 this point. His parents, thinking that He was in the company with some of their relativ es. weni a day s journey homeward before they ascertained that He was not in the company. Then they returned and sought Him and finally found llim in the temple dis cussing the i|ues tlon Which to llim was the all important one of the hour ? the time at which public ministry might be begun. according to the Law Evidently He bnd Jus! fin? ished His quesi and found that. ?f?fg rossd Mm in Rttnougn H ,im. the lani>le. at twelve became SJDenahjg to the Law. none could en ler up' . a leaching or preachlug serv ice until thirty years of age. Jesus Increased In Wisdom. in the last verse of our study we rtad: "JeOUS increased In wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. It was not a boy who was to be the Redeemer, even as it was urn a boy who had sinned, .lesus. there fore, to l>e a ''corresponding price" for Father Adam and the race which lost life in llim. needed firs I to he devel oped into manhood For eighteen years He kept growing in wisdom anil in grace of character. He did not grow in the Fathers fa vor In the sense of becoming less sin ful and more righteous, but in the souse *?f becoming developed- reaching bumutl perfection .lust so a piece of fruit in growing may be as perfect of its kind at the beginning as at the end. but it grows in size and in rich noes of flavor and therefore in the np preclatlon of t he owner. So with Jesus.
