My heart wae all a flutter for a
short time Sunday morning when
I answered the telephone and a fern
inine voice asked me what my tele
phone number was When I told
her she said: “Wrong number" and
hung up
In case anyone wishes to know
what the number is it’s 219
I see where Senator Thomas of
Oklahoma is urging that Tula try
for the 80-million dollar “Hoof-
and Mouth” disease research plant
which the U S is going to build
somewhere
I always knew that that disease
was bad but never dreamed that it
would take a 63000000000 plant
to find out what caused it
And I wonder if Senator Thomas
thinks it is worse in Tulsa!
It takes cooperation to make all
things possible Last 'Saturday Hec
Bussey had 2000 bills distributed

ed That’s cooperation
Ott Cantrell the big grocer on
East Second street had the right
idea Saturday He was giving away
hot coffee and cake — unfortunately
I forgot it until it was too late
The Picher Ad Club did not
have a drawing the first Monday
in this month on account of the
merchants all being busy trying to
take invoices and figure up their
income taxes They plan- to open
up bigger and better next month
Grass fires cost the city several
hundred dollars every year due to
the fact that someone will start a
fire and when it gets out of control
they call the fire department It
costs money to operate a fire truck
over die streets end roads and I
believe that if everyone who set
out a grass fire and then called the
fire department should have to pay
that expense — I bet there would be
less grass fires

FEW RECORDS OF JESl’S FROM
BIRTH TO THIRTY s
We have very few authentic rec-
ords of Jesus from the time of His
birth until He was thirty years of
uge The gospels tell of His birth
of the return of His parents to
Nazareth afte- their trip to Egypt
of the trip to the Passover at
Jerusalem when He was 12 years
old anJ tbs In-
tervening years
until He began
His ministry era
summed up
In these words:
“Aal Jesus In-
creased In wis-
dom and In
stature and In
favor with God
and man"
Perhaps the
Jews of that day did not figure
that a man was a man and hi
doings worth while until he became
thirty years of ag They gave
great honor to their old and ex-
perienced teachers and learned
men
Our authentic records and these
are the records in tha New Testa-
ment give very sketchy accounts
of Jesus as a boy or young man
Profane writings of the first cen-
tury claimed more detail and some
of these writings are found in
apocryphal works not included in
the canon
The touches we hive ere found
In Matthew and Luke They tell ot
His birth ‘in Bethlehem of Judea
Joseph and Mary had been living
in Galilee Probably Joseph and
Mary travelled on foot for the one
hundred miles to register as or-
dered by the Emperor and while
they were in Bethlehem Jesus was
born Dr Luke n his gospel tells
the beautiful story of the shep-
herds of the birth In the stable
We can easily Imagine the sur-
roundings the cattle chewing their
cuds and wondering wht all the
excitement was about Then came
the shepherds who had been thrilled
by strange lights and voices from
Heaven and w whipped
It was some time afterward
when the three wise men came
This story is told by Matthew
From that time on Jesus was in
danger Herod ordered all male
children under two years of age
killed Joseph and Mary warned
in a vision took the precious baby
boy and lied to Egypt How long
they remained there we do' not
know but when Joseph beard that
Herod was dead he went back
home The little family did ndt go
back to Galilee but located in
Nazareth
An incident which the gospel
writer thought worth recording
occurred when Jesus was 12 years
old That was when a boy became
a man ‘Each year as good Jews
Joseph and Mary made a trip to
Jerusalem to observe the great na-
tional feast the Passover They
made up parties and caravans
and travelled together for com-
panionship and safety When Jesus
was 12 Jhey mad thia trip -and
then the Yerevan started on ' the
homeward journey Mary mined
her boy the first day but thought
He was with other boys of the
caravan - She did not become
alarmed the second day but on
the third day she visited all the
familiea and discovered that He
was not with the home-going group
Then she was alarmed indeed and
with Joseph hurried back to the
big city making in two days ths
trip which had occupied the cara-
van three dayi The father end
mother searched frantically and
finally In the temple they aaw a
group of old men and officials sit-
ting in a circle and apparently
much Interested in something at
the center Mary ran to them to
ask questions and was astonished
to see surrounded by the old men -the
12-year-old boy and to dla-
cover that He was their center of
interest r ‘
From this time when Jesus wss
1' years old u-itil He was thirty or
thereabouts we have no authentic
records I think w are Justified
in visioning His life In those forma-
tive years ts that of a normal
growing boy in a normal middle
class family On rule the Jews
bad was that each youn man
must learn trade
It la fair then to conclude that
Jesus learned the carpenter's trad
In the shop with Joseph Joseph
was the village carpenter and he
taught his oldest son how to ui
and take car of tools How to
sharpen and set a saw how to
drive nails and 'is a plan
