Concerning what bounded that boyhood on both sides we have whole libraries of books and whole galleries of °neves and sculpture.

There is a royal aloe of boys on earth uow doing the same thing. They wear uo crown. They have uo purple robe adrnop their shoulders.

'('hey have their example with tine boy Obrist taking ears of His Metbor. He had bean taught the carpenter trade by His father. Tho boy had done the plainer work at the shop While his father had had done the finishing touches, The boy also oloared away the chips and blocks and shavings, He helped hold the different pieoea of work while the father joined them. In our day wo have all kinds of mechanics and the work 1st divided up among them. But to bo a carpenter in Christ's boyhood days meant to melte plows, yokes, shovels, wagons, tables, setae, chairs, houses, and almost every• thing that ,was made. Fortunate was it 'that the boy had learn ed the trade, for, when the head of the family dies, it is a grand thing to elute% a child able to take care of himself and help take care of others. Now that Joseph, His father, is dead, and the responsi• bility of family support comes down on the boy, I hear from morning till night His hammer pounding, his saw vacillating, his axe descend• ing, his gimlets boring, and stand- ing amid the dust and. debris of the shop I. find the perspiration gather. ing on His temple and' notice the ,fatigne.of' Iiia arm ; asides He stops a: moment to mail gee him panting, His hand on Hie side, from the ex- haustion. Now He goes forth iu the morning loaded with implements of work heavier than any modern Mt of tools. Under the tropical sun He swelters. Lifting, pulling, cleaving, splitting all day long. At nightfall He goes home to the plain supper provided by His mother and site down too tired to talk.
