Routes Traversed by Christ.

One of the caravan tours of Assyria and India lay near the little city of Nazareth, where In his boyhood our Savior undoubtedly saw and conversed with men of many nations and varied religious and philosophical beliefs. Indeed, some years a French traveler in Thibet reported, that, having broken a leg, he was hospitably nursed and cared for in a lamasery or Thibetan convent, and allowed access to its library, in lyhich he found an ancient volume, which stated that before our Savior began bls mission, he joined a caravan, and visited Persia and India, debating with the Magi and the priests of Buddha the tenets of their beliefs, and seeking to turn them to the worship of Jehovah. It Is by no means Improbable that a portion of his thirty years of obscurity was spent in such wanderings along the great highways of the world’s commerce.—National Magazine.
