INTERNATIONAL SABBATH SDHOOL
LESSON.
(Continued from First Paife.)
made between 8 and 10 years of
age than in all the remaining
years of his life. The 12th year
I is critical in a very high degree.
I For 7 or 8 years the child Jesus
had watched the caravans of pil
grims as they went away annual
ly to the great sacramental feast
of the Passover. He saw' his
parents, Joseph and Mary,as they
joined the caravans and greeted
them on their return. What
must have been the feelings of
the boy’s heart when he was told
that in a few days he must go up
with his parents to the great
feast of the Passover! He w'as
i now a “son of the command
ment.” For an account of the
institution and meaning of the
j Passover, read Genesis 12th and
SaJJth chapters. Nothing unusual
> have happened in con
nect! nth this Passover.
At" iflose of the feast day’s
jourrtl \n their return, it was
discovl Ik that the boy Jesus
was not jh, them. This occur
rence can be ^^^accountea tor
so far as Joseph alftK'Mary
are concerned. They, with got>4;
reason, had great confidence in
| the wisdom and natural self suffi
: ciency of Jesus and probably had
■ not for years found it necessary
to hold a controlling and guiding
hand upon him as is usually nec
essary for boys of his age. The
pilgrims usually travel now in
companies, probably did then and
one company with Mary and
other relatives departed early.
Jesus did not join that company,
Mary probably expecting him to
join a later company of the Naz
areth pilgrims. Not seeing him
later Joseph probably believed
that he had gone on with his
mother. When the distressing
fact was known, with the feeling
most natural to devoted parents,
they returned, reaching Jerusa
lem too late to find him by day
light. On the third day they
found him among the venerable
students and expounders of the
law in or about the temple. He
was listening to them and asking
questions.
His conduct was evidently
something of a surprise and a
painful one to his parents. This !
is evident in the question of Mary:
“Son, w'hy hast thou dealt thus ■
with us? Behold, thy father and j
I sought thee sorrowing.”
His answer, “Knew ye not
that I must be about my Father’s
business” or “in my Father’s
house,” was clearly beyond his
patents. They could not under
stand him. We may not under
stand all his meaning, but it is
evident that a new world of truth,

ing upon him and he had felt
that he “must” see more of it
and he felt that this need not
have been a matter of great sur
prise to Joseph and Mary. •
He returned with them and for
eighteen years labored and stud
ied and waited for God’s final
time and call for him to really
assume the “business” which
the Father had sent him to the
world to work out. .
Are you following in his foot
steps? Are you about the busi
for which he sent you into the
world? R. B. Willis.

If you wish to make a fountain pen,
take two ordinary steel pens of the
tame pattern and insert them in ths
common holder. The inner pen will be
the writing pen. Between this and the
outer pen will be held a supply of ink,
when they are once dipped into the ink*
stand, that will last to write several
pages of manuscript. It is not neces
sary that the points of the two pens
should be very near together, but if
the flow of ink is not rapid enough
the points may be brought nearer by a
bit of thread or a minute rubber band.
HABITS OF SPEECH.
Faalty Langnsge Used in Child*
hood Is Hard to Correct ta
After Life.
“Why do educated parents allow
their children to contract habits of un
grammatical speech that will have to be
conquered in after-life?” asked a spin
ster of a mother.
“Because they hate to worry the poor
little things about such matters when
they are young and should be care free.
It seems cruel to be all the time cor
recting them and keeping them on their
good behavior. They will have to learn
the rules of our dreadful language all
too soon as it is.”
“Yes,” said the spinster, “and in ad
dition to learning to speak properly
they will have to unlearn the tricks of
speech in which they have been allowed
t.« indulge all their little lives. I know’,”
laughing, “that there is much ridicule
of ‘old maids’ children,’ but I believe
that my theory in this case is correct.
It is a positive unkindness to let your
child double his negatives and say
'ain't,' when several years from now he
will be harshly’ reproved for such
lapses. The child must learn to talk,
any'way, and is it not as easy to teach
him to say ‘It is I,’ as ‘It’s me?’ And is
it not as simple for the little tongue tc
lisp ‘I saw it,’ as ‘I seen it?’ I love baby
talk, and should not correct a child for
his mispronunciation of hard words.
As he grows older he will himself ses
his mistakes in that line and change
thorn T3nt T insist thnt it is n rinront’s
duty to make the difficult path to gram
matical speech as easy as possible by
never allowing the little ones to stray
from it in the beginning.”—Harper’*
Bazar.
Some Mexican Uwa.
A Topeka man who recently toured
Mexico tells that they have -some very
curious criminal laws down there. For
example, the statutes make it twice a*
much of an offense to mutilate the face
of a woman as that of a man. While in
the City of Mexico he attended court
one day and saw a man sentenced to
one year in prison for cutting his para*
mour across the face with a knife, ft
his victim had been a man the sentence
would not have been more than four
months at the outside. The law seems
to be based on the idea that a woman’s
best possession is her beauty, and that
to mar it does her a great injury. There
is another curious law. if a person
should be wounded in an encounter the
punishment to the offender is fixed by
the number of days hia victim has to
stay in the hospital or under u doctor’s
care. A line is fixed at 40 days in the
way of a general division. If the in
jured man occupies more than 40 days
in his recovery the penalty doubles up.
As we understand the Topeka man
these are not court customs, but statu
tory enactments.—Kansas City Jour
