Mary nnd Joseph went away Into n city of Juden, Into tho city called Urthlehem, be- causo they belonged to tho house of David. When the child was born thpro were many shepherda watching their flocks. When they heard of Christ's nativity many wore afraid, and the angel said 'unto thorn: "Fear not, for bhold I bring you good tidings of great Joy, which shall bo to all pooplo. For unto you Ib born this day in tho city of David a Savior, which la Christ tho Lord!" When tho shepherds camo to tho manger thoy found tho babo wrappod in swaddling clothes, Thoro wore angola and a multitude of tho heaven ly host pinislng God nnd Baying: "Glory bo to Ood in tho highest, and on earth peaco and good will toward men." Tho shop herds fell down beforo Christ and worshlpod him. Thoy thon mado known abroad what thoy had heard. Then camo wlso men from tho East, guided by a star which Btood over th6 young child. Tlioy openod tholr troasurea and presented him gifts of gold, f rankln conso and myrrh. Forty daya after Jesus' birth hla parents carried him to tho tomplo at Jerusa lem. Thero was one Simeon, who had long boon expoctlng tho coming of n Savior to the Jows. Ho took Iho child up In his nrma nnd exclaimed: "Lord, now lettost thou thoy sorvont dopart In peaco according to thy words: For mine eyes havo soon thy salvation." Joseph and Mary romnlnod but a short time with thclrvchlld In Egypt. Tho death of Herod later re called them to Palestine and thoy returned to tholr old place of abodo, tho little town of Naza reth in Galileo. Thoy did thlu becauso the angel of tho Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said: "Take tho young child and his mother and lleo Into Egypt and bo thou there until I bring theo word, for Herod will seek tho young child to dostroy him." Ho grew strong In both body and spirit. Tradition Bays ho wore a garment without seams, mado of a kind of woven hair of a purplish brown color. The Gospels toll ua nothing of his occupation as a young man. Tradition rolntos, and It appears truly, that ho spont tho whole thirty yenrs boforo ho bogan his ministry In retirement. John was tho first to announco tho groat work Jesus In tondod doing. Ho abandoned tho solltudo of the dosort for tho banks of tho Jordan. Ho gathered tho pooplo together In hoBts. Ho announced that thoy were to bo dellvorod from sin and bondago, and to prepare for tho Messiah's coming It waB at Dothabara that John tho Haptlst saw Jobub for tho first time, and looking upon him said: "Heboid the Iamb of God." It was hero that the 12 .Htonos wore set up, marking tho spot whoro tho children of Israel had crossed the Jordan dry shod to ontor the promised lnnd, Jesus had como to bo baptized, but John refused until ho heard Jesus say: "Suffer It to bo bo now, for thus It bo comos us to fulfil nil righteousness." After Jesus bad spoken to tho peoploho was led Into tho wilderness by tho spirit. Hero he was tempted for 40 days by tho devil. Ho was an hungered and tho devil said unto him: "If thou bo the Son of God command that this stone be mado bread," and JesUB answered him, snylng, "It Is wrltton that man Bhall not llvo by breffd alone, but by every word that procoodoth out of tho mouth of God." Ho noxt brought him to Jerusalem and snt him on a pinnacle of tho templo nnd said unto him: "It thou bo tho Son of God cast thyaelf down from hence." Jesus answorod, "It Is Bald thou shalt not tempt tho Lord thy God " Thon tho devil tempted hltn u third timo, offering Christ tho kingdom of this world if ho would worship him. Tho answer came, "Thou shalt worship tho Lurd thy God uud liim only shalt JJiou servo."

Ono day Josus was walking by the sea and he saw two mon Simon, called Poter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a not In tho sea. And ho said unto thorn: "Follow me and I will mako you flshors of mon." Thoy straight way left tholr nota and followed him. Ho walked on farther, whon ho camo upon James, tho son of Zobodoo, nnd John, his brother, who woro also In tho ship mending tholr nets. Ho straightway callod them and thoy loft tholr father In tho ship nnd followed him. Nathaniel was moro doubtful about Christ's spiritual power until ono day Jesus salth unto him: "Verily, veVlly I say unto you, horenftor yo Bhall soo hoaven open nnd tho angels of God ascending and descending upon tho Sou of Man." And Christ went from placo to placo until ho had found his 12 apostles. Ho waa unwill ing to rest thon. Ho began to glvo food to the hungry, sight to tho blind, health to tho sick and ' comrort to aching henrtB. Among tho most lllus trlouB of hla miracles was when ho conatralned his dlsclplos to go on board tho hoat and row across tho lako to Capornaum. Thon ho sent away tho grent crowd of peoplo who were still oager that ho should bo tholr king. When thoy were all gono and ho was loft alono ho wont up Into tho mountain to pray Whllo ho wna praying In tho night n groat etorm camo up on tho lako. Whon tho atorm waa at Its holght Jesus went to his dls clplos walking on tho water as though tho sea woro dry lnnd. Thon tho mon In tho boat saw a strango flguro coming near them nnd Jesus callod out to them: "Ilo of good cheer; It Is I, bo not nfrnld." After Jesus had porformed mnny mlra clos tho pooplo asked him to do these things to sntlafy tholr curiosity. Whon ho refused them thoy became angry and left him. Finally, Jesus turnod to his 12 apostlos and nskod: "Will yo also go away and leave mo?" Dut Simon Petor an sworod him. "Lord, to whom Bhall wo go For thou only hast tho words of ovorluBtlng llfo." One day, on entering tho tomplo, ho Baw that tho mer chants and brokers woro making ovorythlng sub sorvlont to tholr nvnrlco. His anger roso at his seeing theso unholy doings in tho tomplo. Ho did not hoBltnte as to what should bo dono. Ho throntonod tho traders with a scourge of small cords, drovo thorn out and said to them: "Tako thoso things hence; mako not my Fnthor'a houso an houso of merchandise." After ho left Jerusa lem ho wont directly to Aonon, near Salom, which was tho Hold of John tho nnptlst's labors. Horo ho spent most of his timo from tho Passover to tho late harvest. Hp wished to Instruct hla dis ciples moro thoroughly in his teaching. Ho did not go back to Jerusalem until tho feast New Indian Animal Stories Row the Wildcat Got a Square Meal By JOHN M.

It vas then ho healed a man who had been lame for 38 years. It was then that he told them that the bread which he was about to glvo them was to bo tho self-sncrlflce of tho bodily llfo for tho salvation of mankind. Soon after Jesus left Hethabara with his disciples and camo to Bethany. Thero ho found a man named Laza rus that had been dead for four days. Martha and Mry could not bo comforted concerning the death of their brother. Jesus, weeping, said: "Take yo away tho stone," nnd cried in n loud voice, "Laz arus, como forth," and ho that wna dead camo forth. Then ho went to tho Mount of Olives, where his disciples followed him. When he came down ho rodo Into Jerusalem, followed by a crowd of many men, women and children bearing palms. As ho rodo Into tho city all the throng was curious and asked, "Who Is this?" And the multitude answered: "This Is Jesus, tho prophet of Nazareth," He then went to the templo timo and again teaching many things and performing miracles. It was at this timo that Jesus and his disciples partook of tho last supper. Whllo thoy were eat ing ho took the bread and blessed It. Then ho broko it nnd passed It to each ono of his disciples. At the same time ho said: "This Is my body which Is broken for you; this do In remembrance of me." Afterwards ho took the cup of wlno and passed It to each of his disciples with tho words: "This cup Is tho now testament In my blood, which la shed for you." When tho feast was going on ho washed tho foot of all his disciples. This means that all who follow him should servo each other. Whllo ho was talking ho grow sad and snld: "Verily, verily I Bay to you that ono of you that la eating with mo shall betray mo and give mo up to those that will kill me." Then Jesus dipped a piece of bread and gave It to Judas, saying: "Do quickly what you are going to do." After he had waited a few min utes ho added: "Before morning cornea every ono will loavo me alone; yet I will not bo nlono, for my Father will bo with mo." Ho wnnted to be alono for ho know that In a little timo Judna would bo thero with a band of men who would solzo hlra. Suddenly tho disciples heard tho noise of a crowd. When they saw tho Bwords flashing thoy knew that Judas had betrayed Christ. Beforo ho was seized ho made a speech to hla disciples and tho crowd. Ho was then led away to Cnlaphns. tlio high priest, and when morning was come they delivered him to Pontius Pilate and he was tried before tills Roman governor, who wna an enemy of Jesus, and was therefore glad of an opportunity to vex him. Aftor Judas saw that Christ was condemned he felt remorse. In honor of the coming Passover ono criminal wns to bo pardoned and he wished that It should be Christ. It was now too late. With two condemned crim inals. Jesus himself carried the Instrument of death to tho placo of execution. Stripped of nearly nil his clothing, ho wbb lifted up to the cross and nailed by his hands nnd feet. After many hours Joseph and his friends took down tho body, wrapped It in line linen, nnd laid It in tho tomb. Tho body lay thero from one evening of Friday, when he died on tho cross, to tho dawn of Sunday, which is Easter. When tho women camo to tho Bopulchro thoy saw that tho seal was broken and tho stone was rolled away It was ompty and an ungel appeared and said: "Fear yo not, for I know ho aoek Jesus, which wns cPucllled. Ho Is not horo, for ho Is rlBon as ho snld." And after ward Josus appeared to his disciples und they gavo him food and ho ate. Thoy talked with him and ho rejolcod, saying: "Peaco bo unto you Receive yo tho Holy Ghost." This was tho fifth timo Josus had showed himself to hla friends. Finally, loading hla disciples out as far as Beth any, "ho lifted up his hands and blessed them . . . . whilst ho blessed thorn ho wns parted from them and waa carried up Into houveu." (Copyright, 1914, by tho McCluro News paper Syndicate.) Long timo ago wild turkeys used to strut and gobblo through tho woods close by tho camps of the Indians. At dusk tho old gobblers sent the sounds of their quarreling to tho ears of the sleepy Indian children, and tho chil dren rubbed their heavy eyes and usked tho old peoplo to tell about tbo timo the rabbit got away from tlio wildcat by getting for himi a feast of wild turkey meat. And the old peoplo would tell this story: OnoMlay the rabbit stayed out play ing until it was very late. The sun was down and tho darkness had filled up every crack In the big woods, and still tho rabbit stayed out to play, In stead of getttlng homo as fast as ho could and going to sleep in his hollow stump homo. All at onco, aB tho rabbit mado a jump ovor a log, a wildcat dropped from the limb of a tree just ovor tho rabbit's path and grabbed blm. "Now," Bald tho wildcat, "I shall have a supper to mako me dream good dreams!'' "What!" said tho rabbit, "aro you going to eat me?" "Yes, I am," said tho wildcat, "have you anything to say?" "Well," said tho rabbit, "all I've got to say Is that you can't be very hungry If you'd rather eat me thau the good feast I know about" "So you know about a bettor sup per?" asked the wildcat And ho sat down to listen to what the rabbit had to say "Como with mo," said tho rabbit "and I will show you where you can get a flno feast of wild turkeys. When I tell you to stop, then you Ho -down and muko out you're dead. Thon I'll bring tho turkeys right up to you. I'll tell them you're dead, and I'll lead a danco around you.
