All of us have problems and frustrations, yet lack the personal capacity to fully solve them. Few are those who have 'put their house in order' and can relax with a genuine smile of achievement. We are all in the some boat, so let us practice understanding, patience and compassion for our fellowmen, who are also struggling to find their way. Respectfully, SWINDELL fjfjV FUNERAL HOME He!FO0.

His mental development kept pace with His physical growth. His powers unfolded in a marvelous fashion, while He enjoyed the normal develop ment of a healthy and happy child, as the grace and blessing of God were upon Him. Even though Joseph and Mary were poor and lived many miles from Jerusalem, they were regular in their atten dance at the Feast of the Passover. God chose a home in which worship was a practice in which His Son was to be reared. When He was twelve years of age they took Jesus with them to the Passover. It was a custom among the Jews that at this feast the boys who had attained twelve years of Watch Night Service A watch night service will be conducted at First Assembly of Cod Church, 715 W. Grubb St., Hertford, on New Year's Eve, Friday night, Dec. 31 beginning at 8 p.m. Featured singers will be David Smith from Jacksonville, Fla.; The Travelers from Elizabeth City; The Lighthouse Fami ly Singers from Windsor; Elmer Lassiter, soloist; The Gospel Countrymen; and The Lara Underwood Family. Rev. Lara Underwood, pastor, extends an invitation to all to come and enjoy this time of fellowship and worship. r V in- V t- yT Jji I NEW YEAR'S WEDDING Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Chap pell of Rt. 1, Hertford announce the marriage of their daughter, Cynthia Fawn, to Garland Courtney Jennings Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Garland C. Jennings Sr. of Belvidere. The wedding will take place the first of January at 3 p.m. in the First Assembly of God Church in Hertford. No invita tions are being sent. Friends and relatives are invited. . age were recognized as "sons of the la w." When this feast was over Joseph and Mary started home in company with their relatives and friends. In the caravan the women were in front and the men followed. The children went with the group which they preferred and played together as they went along. Joseph and Mary were free from anxiety about the Lord Jesus, even though they did not see Him during the first day's journey. Alas, people fre quently take too much for granted. ' At eventide Joseph and Mary discovered that Jesus was not with them. They decided to return to Jerusalem and seek Him. On the third day they found Him. Instead of play- it xt a ti i iiL. i . m a w . uig wiw ue cnuoren aooui me couns oi me xempie, ne was inside listening to the wise teachers, answering their ques tions, and surprising them by His marvelous understand ing. In a most respectful manner He listened to the doctors and then propounded His questions to them. His desire to get all the information possible from them about the things oi uoa was most commendable, not only were tnese emi nent teachers amazed that He should manifest such a great ' interest in the deep things of God, but they were also astonished at the questions of His mond in grasping such great truths at that tender age. To their great relief and joy, Mary and Joseph found Jesus in the temple conversing with the teachers of the law. Of course, they were astonished that He should venture into such an august presence and converse with them. Reprov ing Him for His seeming lack of thoughtfulness for her and Joseph, in remaining behind and causing them so much anxiety and inconvenience, Mary inquired, "Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us?" However, her reproach was quite tender, as if she felt sure that He could explain the matter satisfactorily. Without any attempt to excuse himself, Christ gently reproved their inordinate solicitude about Him. His dignified, yet tender, reply, "Wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?" indicated that Mary should have realized His mission. He made it clear that, regardless of what any others might do, He intended to be about the business of His heavenly Father. His supreme task was to do the will of His Father. His statement in verse forty-nine was the first recorded words of our Saviour and Lord. From this striking statement we learn that a Christian should see to it that the Father's business has priority in his life. , From Jerusalem Christ went down to lowly Nazareth with Mary and Joseph, where the three had lived in an humble home since their return from Egypt. Knowing that He had come on a divine mission, and having informed Mary and Joseph that He had a Father in heaven in whose business He must be engaged, Christ voluntarily set a worthy example for all of filial subjection to parents. He yielded a ready obe dience to their commands while living with them and work ing under and for them. Children today should emulate His example, and thereby greatly increase the joy of the entire family. During the eighteen years of Christ's obscurity in Nazareth, He increased in wisdom, in stature, and in favor with both God and men. We, too, should grow physically, in tellectually, and spiritually.
