It is probable that this was the first time that Jesus had been in Jerusalem a•t this feast." III. Jesus lost and found (vs. 43-10). 43. Fulfilled the days -The Passover week (Exod. 12, 15). Tarried behind - Luke neither tells us that Jesus remain- ed behind at Jerusalem unintentional. ly, nor that Joseph and Mary lost sight 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. 46. After three days -An idiom for "on the third day"; one day for their departure, one for their return, and one for their search. They found him -Jerusalem was overcrowded with mil- lion e of people packed into a small area, and they had none of the meane to which we wouli at once look for assist- ance in searching for a lost cbild in a great city. In the temple -Joseph and 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 of the doctors -Teachers of the law, Jewiali rabbis. ".An instructive incident, as showing how early our Lord began to display the inquiring and critical spirit which afterwards bore such precious fruits of k.nowledge and wisdom." - Markby. Some of the greatest doctors of Jewish history lived about this time. Henring esking--But it is not said teciebing or disputing. He sat not as it doctor, but as an inquirer among the doctors. The method of instruction 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- standing -He brought with him it clear knowledge of God's word, in which,no doubt, he had been versed from earliest years.-Willeock. They never heard one so young, nor indeed their greatest doc- tors, talk sense at the rate he did. He gave them it taste of his divine wisdom and knowledge. -Henry. 48.

Many devout Christians the world oven: are keeping "the Morning. 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. - A. C. M. STOLE JUJU MASK. CAPTAIN OF A BRITISH STEAMER PERFORMS DARING FEAT.

It is a remarkable fact that the 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 for 1904, 1,480 in 1963, 1,100 in 1902 and; 710 in 1901. This is a reliable indica-1 tion of the steady growth of the city.- Bradstreet's. 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 sea. to the retention of bis seat from Batter - 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 1.11 heretitary authorities is the Crown. rhe Unionist press to -day accuses Mr. Burns of using frankly seditious kn- eeing° as a Minister of the Crown .vithin a few days of the time when he will kiss the King's hand on taking hat offiee which makes him one of hie Majesty's Privy Councillors. Insolvencies in the Donuailon of Can- ada during the year 1905 were 1,347 in number, with assets of $6,822,005, and liabilities of $9,854,650. This is a slight Increase in number as compared with Lho 1,246 in 1904, but the amount involved was much larger in the previous year assets aggregating $8,555,875 and Habil- Ilia $11,394,117. Manufacturing returns ' lhow a striking improvement, 280 fail- ures for $3,120,262 comparing with 307 lefaults and $4,136,908 liabilities in 1904.

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.
