"How Jesus Grew"
Joseph's shop may have been at
tached to his home or away from
t.
We may be sure that the boy Jes
ts was often found there, watching
oseph's hands as they used the
)lane, getting in the way of the
;aw, and, as he grew older, leani
ng to use these tools himself. A
ieep affection existed 'between
hem. In their long hours of work
ing together, they also talked to
gether, and Joseph imparted his
wisdom to the growing boy. The
bond between them was so strong
that when Jesus wished to give God
a name he called him Our Father.
The religious training of a child
usually begins with its mother, who
is close to her child in the forma
ive yenrs of infarrv ft enrly child
hood. The generosity of Jesus was
encouraged by Mary who, like other
mothers wish their children to think
inselfishly, taught him while he
was still a baby to share what he
tad. Probably the first prayer Jes
us ever heard came from Mary's
lips. She taught him to pray and
told him Bible stories, and imparted
to him her own sweet gentleness.
The religious training of Jesus
began when he was old enough to
tnlk. He learned the Shema. All
Jewish boys were required to learn
the Sherna by heart. Deut. 6:4-5
"Hear, O, Israel; the Lord our God,
is one Lord," and "Thou shalt love
the Lord they God with all thine
heart and with all thy soul, and
with ail thy might." Jesus was re
quired to learn the first command
ment, the simpler Psalms, the his
tory of God's dealing-with his peo
ple. The Sabbath and the synago
gue, the annual celebrations, tne
Harvest Festival, the Feast of
weeks, the Day of Atonement and
the Passover were instruments in
his training.
When Jesus was about six years
old' He was sent to the synagogue
school in Nazareth. There He Sat
with the other children on the floor
in a semi-circle while the Rabbi
taught his pupils the alphabet, and
used the scripture for his text book.1
Some of each day was devoted to
play.
All the time Jesus was working or
playing or studying or, worshiping
His little spirit was developing. We
do not know when He first became
aware of God. Perhaps there was
never a time He didn't know Him,

HUMOROUS WILLS
One of the strangest places lo
find items of humor in the law wou

tators. Wills are written when test
ators must consciously face t he
contemplation of death. Neverthe
less, incidents of pure humor may
at times be found in recorded wills.
One testator directed that no wo
man be present at his funeral.
The love of the French eople for
the culinary arts is reflected by a

Changes In Your
Social Security
'By Robert L, Hame) 'j:..
Social security. is a program de

ily against loss of income due to
retirement, death, or disability.
This protection: against the econo

and long-lasting disability is a com
paratively new feature in the law.
To be considered for disability
benefits, you must have worked In;
covered employment for at least 3
years out of the 10 year period end

be eligible for disability benefits
you do riot have to be completely
helpless but you must have a dis,

You can't really separate being
and .doing. Part of being a Chris
tianan Indispensable part is
doing. What? Wen, here we com
on all sorts of strange ideas. Cen
turies ago there were men who
thought, the thing to do, for , a
"Christian, would be to suffer at
much pain ai possible. So if they
didn't have any wounds they
would cut themselves, and if they
were not sick they would do
things almost guaranteed to make
them sick. They would stand In
cold water all night long to keep
from going to sleep. One man
(Simeon Stylites, the Pillar-Man)
stood on top of a post for 38 solid
years Just to show what a good
Christian he was. Most of. tha
church has got over ' those gro
tesque ideas. Some thinkers hay
rushed to the opposite extreme
and denied that a Christian can
do anything to show he's a Chris
tian. The Bible truth, is simple.
St, Johri put' it into words of one
syllable: "He who says he abides
in Him (Christ) ought to walk la
the aama way in which Ha
: walked.?.,'.. V":'
Some people are better talkers
than others, Uue enough. But it
- does seem strange that Christians
very often find it harder, or they
think it's harder, to say a good
'word for Jesus Christ than it is to
.: "walk as He -walked" or to have
Christ-like attitudes.: Neverthe
less, witness by saying is very
important A professor in a class-:
room of chemistry makes a dem
onstration at the desk; and that's
a very effective form of teacliing.
. But if he never once sv. vhat
' be is doing, never explains a' all,'
he's a poor teacher. A uv'tian,
if he is anything like U Chris
tiana of tha early dys, will not
only witness by doing and b-int',
he will say a. food word for the
Savior. Man is a talking animal.
Th word Gospel means Goud
News. News can be pictures, cjt
- some time or other it calls out to
be - told. If witness-by-saying
seems frightening because you
realue it hardly fits your being
and your doing; then irn't it best,
not to refuse to speak; tut to work'
at your doing and being so the
saying will fit? There s nothing'
you can try, of which you nay be
more sure of God's help.
