THE. CHILD IN THE HOME, Deut. 6: 3-9; Luke 2: 40-52;.2 Tim. 1: 3-5; 3: 14, 15, The ancient law preservea Deuter onomy requiras both that the people shall keep the commandments of God, and that they shall teaclethera to their children, ch. 6: 1, 2, 7.. With this good law goes the promise of the blessing of God, v. 3. With it also goe.s the great central truth of reli- gion, "The Lord my God is one Lord,” and the swanning up of all religions dety in the one great commandment, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might." These, therefore, are to be kept ae a sacred inheritance, this ftendamental thuth and this comprehensive law, and taught to the children in the Apparently there is to be no excuse for neglect, and no evasion of this duty. All occasions are to be esed, and both the parent and the home will he mark- ed by the symbols of its obedience, vs. 7-9. The language of these verses is • probably to be understood as figer- a.tive, but many Jews have taken it literally and have actually NVOTTI. on the arm and forehead :tripe or. parch: ment on which were written words of the law, and have enclosed similar pieces .of parehmeni; in metal or wooden cases nailed to :la' doorpoit - (see Matt. 23: 5). There is no doubt that Jesus as brought up in a piout home where the precepts of the ancient religicn were strictly observed. He grew and waxed strong in spirit, filled with disdom, Luke 2: 40. At twelve years cif age he was taken by his parents to the springtime festival of the Paseever at • Jerusalem. In this story. (vs. 4150), two things seem clear,' first that he had become keenly intere.ted in what he had learned of the temple and its wor- • ship, and second, that for so young a boy he had a most devout and, real interest in religion. Coining with a fresh mind to the great questions of his religious faith and practice, he seizes the oppoetunity to learn what he • can froM the temple doctors -who avere astonished at his iinderstaading. Ab- • sorbed in this higher interest he was, f or the moment, forgetflu of the day appointed to return home. But his parents, he thought, would thave known. "Wist ye not," he' said, "that I must be, in my Father'a House?" v. 40, Rev. Ver. Jesus is resented to us as a healthy, normal boy, well in- staucted, keenly interested in the best things, of unusual menial ability, obe- dient, and -well thought of by those who knew him—a good all-round boy, owing much to a geed home.
