CHAPTER II I )v IM 5VWJ JoJ 40 Pages Vol. 120 $4 1 i A tmi Christ in the Temple When King Herod was dead, an' angel came to Joseph again, and said he might now go to Jerusalem, and not be afraid for the child's sake. So Joseph and Mary, and her Son Jesus Christ (who are commonly called the Holy Family) travelled towards Jerusalem; but, hearing on the way that King Herod's son was the new King, and fearing that he, too, might want to hurt the child, they turned out of the way, and went to live in Nazareth. They lived there until Jesus Christ was 12 years old. THEN JOSEril AND Mary went to Jerusalem to attend a religious feast which used to be held in those days, in the Temple of Jerusalem, which was a great church or cathedral; and they took Jesus Christ with them.

And when the feast was over, they travelled away from Jerusalem, back towards their own home in Nazareth, with a great many of their friends and neighbours. For people used, then, to travel a great many together, for fear of robbers; the roads not being so safe and well guarded as they are now, and travelling being much more difficult altogether, than it now is. They travelled on for a whole day, and never knew that Jesus Christ was not with them; for the company being so large, they thought He was somewhere among the people, though they did not see Him. But finding that He was not there, and fearing that He was lost, they turned back to Jerusalem in great anxiety to look for Him. They found Him, sitting in the temple, talking about the goodness of God, and how we should all pray to Him with some learned men who were called doctors.

They were not what you understand by the word "doctors" now; they did not attend sick people; they were scholars and clever men. And Jesus Christ showed such knowledge in what He said to them, and in the questions He asked them, that they were all astonished. HE WENT, WITH Joseph and Mary, home to Nazareth, when they had found Him, and lived there until He was 30 or 35 years old. At that time there was a very good man indeed, named John, who was the son of a woman named Elizabeth the cousin of Mary. And people being wicked, and violent, and killing each other, and not minding their duty towards tiod, John (to teach them better) went about the country, preaching to them, and entreating them to be better men and women.

And because he loved them more than himself, and didn't mind himself when he was doing them good, he was poorly dressed in the skin of a camel, and ate little but some insects called locusts, which he found as he travelled, and wild honey, which the bees left in the hollow trees.

Ravaged Girl Found After Week Snow Melts to Reveal Body in Cornfield BY RILEY MURRAY Free Press Staff Writer' KALAMAZOO The white snow into which Carolyn Drown vanished a week ago melted to yield her ravished and frozen body Sunday. The petite, popular Western Michigan College freshman had been strangled with her blue babushka scarf after the rape, an autopsy showed.
