42 years old -"At the age of twelve a
Jewish boy became 'a son of the law,'
and came under the obligatiou of obey-
ing all its pretepte, ineluding attendance
at the Paesover. It is probable that
this was the first time that Jesus had
been in Jerusalem a•t this feast."

of him through want of necessary are.
A circumstance must have been omitted,
and we may safely suppose that Joseph
and Mary joined their elder fellow -tra-
vellers in the persuasion that Jesus who
knew of the time and place of departure
was among the younger ones. The more
Mary was accustomed to trust to Ids
obedience and wisdom, the less necessary
. would it always be to watch him. An
involuntary mistake, of whatever kind
it might be, separated the child from the
parents.
44. In the company -The people trav-
eled in caravans. "Jesus evidently had
been allowed it more than usual amount
of liberty of action, as a child, by par-
ents who had never known him to
transgress their commandments, or be
guilty of it sinful or foolish decd."-
Hom. Corn. 45. Found him not -They
had probably left in the night to avoid
the heat of the day, and in the confusion
Jesus was lost.

ance in searching for a lost cbild in a

Mary evidently knew where they would
be nicest likely to find him. Jesus was
probably in one of the porches of the
court of the women, where the schools
of the rabbis were held. In the midst

as it doctor, but as an inquirer among

among the Jewish doctors was very con-
versational and catechetical; teacher and
pupil indulging in both interrogation and
reply.-Whedon.
IV. Jesus astonishes his hearers (vs.
47-50i.
47. Astonished -The Greek word is
very forcible. "The import is that they
were in a transport of astonishment, and
struck with admiration." At his under-

for jeeus. Many devout Christians the

Watch." They are "snending the first
half-hotm of every day alone with God
in personal, devotional Bible study and
prayer."
HI. Jesus the suffering child. "They
were amazed, and. His mother said: Why
hest Thou thus dealt with us?" (v. 48).
The child Jesus was not wont to give His
mother sorrow. The reproof is keener
because He had not purposely caused
her grief. Quietly, patiently, the lad
bore the pain. Mrs. A. 1'. Strain says:
"The power to endure is far more grand
them the ability to perform To bear
God's will is more than• to do His will."
This is a lesson we all need to learn.
IV. Jesu the subjected child. 1. Hum-
id°. "He went down with them" (v. 51).
-He humbled Himself" (Phil. ii. 8). He
left the student's plaee for the carpen-
ter's :bench. He exchanged the classroom
for the shop. He turned from the holy
temple to the lowly home. He left the
happy talk for the homely task. "He
went down to Nazareth." In a de-
spised city, unknown and. unnamed until
He &allowed it, Jesus spent Ills life
(John i. 46). To identify Ilims.elf with
Ile lowly, to prove that spiritual power
is not the outgrowth of natural sur-
roundings, and that no name of reproach
might ever hurt us, He dwelt in Naza-
reth and was "called it Nazarene" (Matt.
ii. 23). Humility stoops to serve (John
xiii. 5); is unconsrious of its own shin-
ing (Exod. xxxiv. 20); has no will of its
own (I. Pea. v. 5; Heb. x. 7); is never
vexed, nor sore, nor disappointed (Matt.
xxvii. 12-14); never parades its own
goodness (Psa. =iv. 2; Eph. iii. 8).
2. Obedient. "He went down with
them" (v. 51). Jesus learned obedience
by the things which he suffered (Ib,
v. 8, 9). "I must," he had said; there
seemed a compulsion upon him, but be
put it away. God's time had not come.
So a child though a son of God, acknowl-
edging the divine ownership, must not
neglectt the humble relation. A daugh-
ter with a call to the foreign field may
yield to her mother's wish to keep her
at home while she beseeches God to
send lier in his own time and way with
her mother's glad approval. It is a rare
art to stand fast in meekoess, yet stand
fast in integrity; to stand fast in pa-
tient resignation toward man iu non-
essentials, yet hold. a determined spirit
toward God in essentials.
3. Submissive. "He was subject unto
them" (v. 51). The life of Jeeue and the
word if God are a unit. 'The Book says:
"Servants be subject to your masters"
(I. Pet. 11. 18); "Children in subjection
with all gravity" (I. Tim. iii. 4); "Wives
be insuleteetion to your own husbands"
(T. Pet. iii, 1); "Ye younger submit your-
selves unto the elder"- (1. Pet. v. 5); "All
a you be subject one to another" (I.
Pet. v. 5).
V. Jesus Lite superior child. 1. Beloved
of God. "Jesus increased .... in favor
with God" (v. 52). Then he was righte-
ous (Psa. v. 12), free front guilt of sin,
honest, just, upright, holy and pure.
These bring favor with God. 2. Beloved
by Men. "Jesus increased .. in favor
with .. man" (v. 54). Then he was.
polite. He never ignored any common
courtesy. He never refused a favor it
was his to bestow. He never pouted when
things went wrong. He was never rude.
boisterous, jealous or suspicious. He
was kind, affable, true, obliging, graci-
ous. He condescended; he stooped; he
loved. This brought favor with men. -

permits issued during 1905 was $10,347,-
910, against $5,890,120, an increase of
$4,451,120, or not very far from 50 "r

values of permits issued for last year ex-
ceeded the joint values of 1004 and 1903
by more than $90,000. The number of
permits issued was 2,074, against 1,725

BURNS' ADDRESS
STRANGE ELECTION APPEAL FROM
A BRITISH CABINET MINISTER.
Abolition of House of Lords -Wants All
Hereditary Authorities Done Away
With -Bid for Socialist and Radical
Vote.
London, Jan. 7. -john Burns has per-
haps been the most prominent and
most discussed figure in the present
election campaign. He is popular with
both sides of the House of Commome
and his elevation to Cabinet rank drew
even more congratulations from his
opponents than from his own side. His
election address in itself is not re-
markable as coming from a Socialist
wakingman candidate, but it has
called forth angry condemnation from
the Unionist press as coming from a
member of the Cabinet. Burns' accep-
tance of Cabinet rank, with a salary
of $1.0,000, has undoubtedly estranged
many of his supporters, who regard it as
desertion of their cause, and it is evi-
dent that Mr. Burns is nervous in regard

His address, which was such as
never before came from the lips of a
Cabinet Minister, was a strong bid for
the Socialist and extreme Raelical vote.
A Minister's address is supposed to be
outlined on the general policy as. the
Cabinet, but Mr. DUES declared for
the payment of a salary to members
of the House of Commons, woman
suffrage, trienna Parlirunents, an
eight-hour workday and the abolition
of the House of Lords.
Under the circumstance% all this
would probably bave been allowed to
pass with nothing more than the usual
party comment, but to the abolition
of the House of Lords, Mr. Blume add-
ed the abolition of all "hereditary au-
thorities." Now, the first and chi-ef of

LABOR PROTECTION.
JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN'S ARGUMENT
TO THE WORKINGMEN. •
London, Jan. 7. -Mr. Chamberlain,
in a speech yesterday at East Bir-
mingham, made a direct appeal to the
trades UniOlIS to support his fiscal
scheme. His audience was composed
almose entirely of workingmen. lle
declared himself not unfriendly to
trades unions, and argued that the
;tariff reform was based on much the
: same principle. Proteetion of Leber
was the principle of the 11111011.5, pro-
ntectioir of the product of labor was
I the principle of the tariff reform. It
would be absurd to legislate. against
the sweating system, and. not legis-
late against the product a the sweeet-
ing system in foreign countries. A
remedy for the great . lack of work
was more markets. For these we
should look to the eoloniee, our best
friends and best customers. "It is,
therefore," he continued, "our duty
to meet the offer of our kinsmen be-
yond the sea before it is too late. It.
has been said that there is no offer;
I say that Is a disgraceful libel." lf
they now rejected the advances made
in so generous a spirit, 'they must ac-
eept the heavy re,sponsibility which
their descendants might have reason to
ref,Yret.
The campaign is proceeding along the
usual and. the country is tieing
flooded with campaign documents.
These are all on the usual lines.
Both parties are still weakened by
internal differences. The Unionists are
unable to agree as to the extent they
should. adopt Mr. Chamberlain's policy,
and the Liberals are in it similar plight -
on the Home Rule queetiom The na•
tural result is a very strong desire on
cull side to avoid its own disturbing
subject, and to put that of its opponents
to the fore.
