What We Know of
LITTLE IS TOLD US
Scripture Matthew 2:13-15,
Bv NEWMAN CAMPBELL
BIOGRAPHIES of people usu
ally start with their birth, then
follow with descriptions of their
parents, homes, home conditions,
schooling, and on into their adult
life.
With the biography of Jesus of
Nazareth we are told at length
of His wonderful birth, very little
of His ' childhood, nothing about
His education. We pcesume that
He learned the carpenter's trade
from Joseph, for Hebrew boys of
good homes were required to
learn a trade. He must have
learned to read, because He wad
very familiar with the Scrip
tures, and He undoubtedly was
brought up in a deeply religious
atmosphere.
Immediately after the Magi or
wise men had left Bethlehem and
gone home by a route that did
not take them through Jerusalem,
Joseph had a vision in a dream.
An angel of the Lord appeared
and instructed him to take the
young child and His mother and
flee into Egypt, or Herod would
surely kill Him.
No one knows Just where in
Egypt Joseph took his wife and
the Holy Child. We read In our
MEMORY VERSE

the grace of God was upon Him." Luke :i0.
commentary that "the traditional
place of their sojourn in Egypt
is the village of Metariyeh, not
far from the city of Heliopolis on
the way to Cairo. An old syca
more is still shown as that under
which they rested tn their Jour
ney (which is thought to have
taken about two weeks), or, ac
cording to present Coptic tradi
tion, the successor of that, and
nearby is a fountain in which the
Child was bathed." There were
many Jews in Egypt at that
time.
The Holy Family Is thought to
have lived tn Egypt until the next
summer, when the angel again
appeared to Joseph in a dream
and told him to return to Pales
tine, as Herod was dead and the
danger passed.
Joseph took Mary and the In
fant Jesua back to Israel, but
when he heard that Archelaua
was reigning over Judaea In his
father's place, Joseph waa afraid
to go on, and, "being warned by
God In a dream." he "withdrew
into the parts of Galilee and came
and dwelt In a city called Naia
reth." , . .

Jesus1 Childhood
BUT IT IS ALL GOOD
19:23; Mark 6:3,-Luke 2:30-52.
is the words of Luke: "And the
child grew, and waxed strong,
filled with wisdom : and the gf ace
of God was upon Him."
When Jesus was 12 years old,
His father and mother, relatives
and neighbors, probably, formed
a caravan and journeyed to Jeru
salem for the feast of the Pass
over, taking Him with them.
Nothing is told us of their activ
ities while they were in Jerusa
lem, but after the Passover was
kept, Jesus' father and mother
started homeward. After travel
ing a day's journey from the city,
they began to inquire about their
son, whom they supposed to be
with some of the company rela
tives or friends. Not finding Him,
they returned anxiously to the
city, and made inquiries.
Three days they searched for
the Lad, and finally, coming to
the temple, they found Him there
in talking, asking questions and
answering others with the teach
ers. These learned men evidently
found the young lad a bright and
interesting companion versed in
the scriptures and exceedingly
intelligent.
Jesus' mother said, "Son, why
hast thou dealt thus with us?
Thy father and I sought Thee
sorrowing." Jesus evidently had
no thought of wrong-doing' in
staying behind, but appears to
have been slightly mystified
about His parents' anxiety for
Him, answering simply. "How is
it that ye sought Me? Knew ye
not that I must be in My Fa
ther's house?"
After this brief glimpse into
the nature of the Child Christ,
we only know that He continued
to grow In grace, and "the grace
of God was upon Him."
Now a brief passage from Je
sus' life history, after He had
grown to manhood, been bap
tized, and was teaching. Once
more the scene is Nazareth, home
of His childhood. But Jesus,' on
the Sabbath day, went into the
synagogue, but not to listen to
the priests, but Himself to teach.
His family waa there, and HIS
neighbors who had known Him
from babyhood. They heard Him
talk and said to one Mother: "Is
not this the carpenter, the aort of
Mary, the brother of James, and
J oses, and of Juday and Simon?
and ate not His sisters here with
us?" and St. Luke tefla us "they
were offenaea at Him.

The
Everyday
Counselor
By-
AfiV. HERBERT
Every man is n measuring stick
to someone, by which he measures
his virtues or condones his vices.
We ought to think more about that.
It is a terrifying thought. Some
one is gauging the depth of his
character by mine. Someone is get
ting his ideas of religion from what
he sees me doing. Someone is fol
lowing in my footsteps. Someone is
justifying a thing which is wrong
for him, because he sees me do it.
Fathers and mothers ought to
think about these little feet which
are following along in their foot
steps. A father told me the other
day that his little boy saw him take
a drink of liquor. Perhaps he had
seen him take others. The young
ster reminded his father that lie
had seen him take the drink. The
thought of the young feet following
in the father's footsteps struck him,
and he replied, "Son, you will nev
er see me do that again."
I have known pood men ruined
by the influence of their associates.
A man says that he knows "how
to take a drink". Certainly, most of
them say that. Admit that he knows
when to stop, but someone is fol
lowing his example who does not
know when to stop. He is ruined.
Who is going to answer for that
man's fate?
A man ought to go to headquar
ter for his example in conduct.
The Christian should guide his con
duct by asking hinself the ques
tion, "What would Jesus do?" But
many of us forget that, and look
around and set our sights a bit low
er. A man becomes the example by
which a man may be saved or he
may be damned. And that man may

79 Persons
Are Killed
On Highways
In November
Three persons were killed on the
highways in Haywood county dur
ing the month of November to rank
third among the counties in the
state, according to a report issued
by the Motor Vehicle Department
today.
During November, 79 persons
lost their lives in traffic accidents
on state streets and highways,
bringing total traffic deaths for the
first ll months of 1948 to 663.
The traffic death figure for No
vember was exactly the same as for
November of 1947. However, deaths
for the first ll months of 1948
showed a 12 per cent decrease over
the 752 persons reported killed
during the same period the previ
ous year.
The November fatality report
showed that 27 persons lost their
lives when their cars ran off road
ways; 20 persons walked straight
to their deaths in pedestrian ac
cidents; 20 persons died in motor
vehicle collisions; five people met
their deaths when their vehicles
collided with trains; three were
killed when their cars overturned
in roadways; three died when their
vehicles struck, fixed objects; and
one person was fatally struck while
riding his bicycle.

be you, and he may be me,
Emerson, I think, wrote, "What
you do sounds so loud I can not
hear what you say." Some of t in
most effective sermons are those
preached in life. William Cowper
lirann wrote a few pungent para
graphs on this subject, which I
have in my scrap-book, and which
l pass on. They are good.
"The place to take I lie true
measure of a man is not the forum
nor the field, not the market-place
nor the Amen corner, but at his
own fireside. There he lays aside
his mask, and you may judge
whether he is imp or angel, king
or cur, hare or humbug. I rare not
what the world says of him: wheth
er it crown him with bay or pelt
him with bad eggs; I care never a
copper what his reputation or reli
gon may be, if his babes dread his
home-coming, and his better-half
has to swallow her heart every time
she has to ask for a five-dollar bill,
he's a fraud of the first water, even
though he prays night and morn
till he's black in the face, and cries
hallelujahs till he shakes the etern
al hills.
"But if his children rush to the
front gate to greet him and love's
own sunshine illuminates the face
of his wife when she hears his
footfall, you may take it for grant
ed that he is true gold, for his home
is a heaven, and the humbug never
gets near the Great White Throne
of God."
People are watching us more
carefully than we think. They are
patterning their lives by ou ac
tions. They are getting their estlm
mate of the religion we profess by
our every-day actions.
