When Jesus was forty days old, Joseph and Mary presented him in the temple in Jerusalem as was the custom of those days, in accordance with the law of Moses. Joseph was divinely admonished to leave Judaea at once and flee into Egypt, since danger threatened the child. Accordingly he set out with mother and child and crossed into that country, where many of his countrymen had formed little colonies.

Eady, Miss Edith Redding and Mrs.' Jack Leigh. A delicious one cour.se luncheon wars served. As the guests arrived at the Nelson home, their gifts for the shower were hidden about the rooms.

The snowmen were arranged on the Christmas tree and Mrs. Redding followed the directions in securing the gifts.

The 'paper, a copy of ‘h* town Herald, dated Oct. 28, 182 J, was dispatched to Germany on board the airship from the Chicago exhibition by It H. M. Falls, a local philatelist, for the double purpose of "giving it a ride" and having the stamps regularly cancelled. Claim Gas Psers Cheat Eugene, Ore.-(U.R)-As a means of checking up on gasoline users, the Oregon State Independent Gasoline and Oil Dealers Association has advocated use of "black gasoline." They charged that $300,000 of the SBOO,OOO rebated by the state annually to operators of tractors and stationary engines is used unI fairly in furnishing fuel for private I automobiles.

Herod, in the meantime, had awaited the return of the three wise men with their news of the Messiah. When they did not come he was filled with anger. Anger turned to fear. He called his soldiers to him and commanded that they set out and put to death all male children in Bethlehem and its environments two years of age and under. In this fashion, Herod hoped to include Jesus among the list of murdered innocents.

Hoyt i When Jesus was but a youngI ster, he proved an enigma to his i pare.its. It was difficult for them jto comprehend just what his perII sonali’y meant. They found him s ; arguing with the learned doctors - and wise men in the temple. They 1 ' saw him grow, as did many another youth of the little towns along the coast of Galilee, learning a .’ trade and working at it as did his t companions. Finally, when he - J returned after his first year's min- - i fstry was commenced, they drove - ! him out from the city he called s' home because he would not perr ■ form a miracle for them. i-' Throughout his life, Jesus was j misunderstood. Many of his followers believed that he was to establish a temporal power—that he was to bring about a charge 1 whereby the hated Roman would ’ be driven from the land and the • Jew should come again into power. ■ And through it all, gentle Jesus ■ attempted to show his little group •> that he meant brotherly love and it a kingdom in heaven. i Many are misunderstood in this 1 life. Too often, a leader is so far e ahead of his time tha‘ his pre--5 cepts will not be accepted. But after he has passed away, the tide catches up and those tidings which were looked upon as extreme and s dangerous are accepted as everyi, ' day methods. i-1 At this time, we must have a I understanding. Onr government '■ is in a si'-nation such as it never ') i has faced before. Our leaders are e looking far ahead, attempting to s stem the tide, searching the fui- ture, seeking a solution.

There were many thousands of Jews in Egypt at this time and Joseph and Mary found many friends during their brief stay. Only a few weeks after the flight, Herod died a horrible death. In a dream, Joseph learned that it was safe for him to return to his native land. He found that Archelaus had succeeded his father to the throne, so he went to Galilee and his shop in Nazareth, where Jesus grew to be his assistant.
