WIkmi wo sen Horfinnn'x yonth stainllnK amontr the doctors In the tninplo we nt once say: "Yes, that Is my idea of Jesus the child. That child looks just as I supposed ChrM looked as n boy." The eyes are bit: and Intelligent. They seem to be looking fnr off. They truly seem to ho entcltln, nn infplred vision of bis Father's huslneo-'. Tho i,.,n ni,nut the head, the beautiful curls f,,iim, hi irrneernl enr-i-n., nl.mil tl.nsn aliottlders. show tho human and the di vine comminj;lintr. The robo about his lithe form is as pure and spotless as ms lire. Ho spems to stand there ns ii , child, and yet he seems 1o lie reaching far out Into the future. All worlds, all i itaes, seem to lie his. In contrast to I this beautiful face, wilh Its wonderful ! fenlt'.res, are the nstonUlicd and pur.- j .led countenances of Ihe baldhcadeil, learned suites, who were nol accus tomed to debate, with youths, but only witli their compcerti in the sanctum sanctorum of tho Hebrew sanhedrim Tito Twelfth Yfor. j Anil yet. as I stood watching the beautiful face of that Divine Child, this I question came to me; "Why should those Hebrew rabliis wonder tit that ; boy's intelll;tqnce? Should not till men i and women stand in awe before the j nverar;i! boys ot the present day? Do not liui't youths and maidens of twelve ; Rummers hnve Inspired visions from Hod, as Christ had an Inspired vision? I Does not (lod call to them tit this crlt ic.al aire to he about their Father's busl- lies':" lie does. I want you to study I wilh me tlils mornlmr some of those ! cliildhood visions. Men and women. ' loo, have their times of lvnohhic, out j to thlnss unseen, but this morning let i us think fhlelly of those bright Imaeiu- ! Jnus of youth. Tins no, the twelfth I year, is to me the most Important of ! life. May we be .cry careful how we ! deal with our children when they are entcriiia the sacred portal of their ear- ly teens! The way Ihey tread the path ' of life will in all probability decide the ' way they shall trend these paths through time and tbroujrh eternitv. Why do I put such an emphnrls up'.n j the aso of twelve? Iiecanse it is al .it , the year when the child for the litst i time lets go of his parent's or p.iardl nn's hand and begins to climb tin; ' heights of the unseen world and to think for himself. Thnt is the time i when bo begins for the first time on his own nccount to ponder about ';od I and what (iod wants lilm to be. he- , fore thnt ace the child for the most part is completely under the control of the father ami the mother, but at i ! the twelfth year the parent is astonish- ! ed nt,tlie strnupe ijuf-stlotis w! i.'h the ' liny ptt;.i. Suddenly, and scemin;;!v wltlioitt any preconceived thought, the hoy will bronli out witli such iiuestions 1 its this: "Mother, where was I before 1 I was born':" ".Mother, where shall I go after I am dead;" "Mother, how can I live in heaven when my body is buried In the earth?" "Mother, last night when I was lying awalto lu bod I made up my mind that Jesus wanted me to lie it preacher, like Dnul nnd Timothy, about whom we studied in our Sunday school last week," These questions ur .statements seem to spring from the lips almost involun tarily. When 1m first speaks thus you look nl him In amazement. Then you say. "Who has been talking to you, my son?" He answers simply, "No one, mother; no one," Ah, yes, some one lias been tnlklnir to him. Like Christ, the boy In the temple, he hears a strange voice. He sees strange visions. These vlsionn are not of earlh, but ot heaven, He cannot see those visions full orbed; but, like Christ lite boy ho can see them In their dim outlines. He hears the divine voice, and In his faint way he Is aaying, "I must lie about my Futhcr's I tislncts," Ili'Kliinlnir to Climb. Tins your boy never nstonUhed you by his strange. utieHions and answers, ns Christ astonished the lawyers it nil doctors lu tho templo when but twelve years of age? Some time ago an anx ious mother said: "When my children were very young they were mine, I could say to them, 'Children, sit down I' nml they would sit down, I could read to them a book nnd explain to them tho f tines, nnd they would accept my Jtujeiuents as true, because mother wild It. lint there comeii a tirno when 1 feel my boy's hand loosenliif; its pntsp upon my hand. Then 1 Fre him move away and leave my sldo nnd be gin to walk alone and to think lor him self. Then I cannot say, 'Child, do this,' and he will do It simply becnusn his mother tells him to do It. I cannol sny, 'Child, believe this.' merely be cause I believe It. Hut i niust give him an Intelligent reason why he should do so nnd why lie should believe." Then an the child moves away from his moth er's side the mother must sit still nnd pray to Oort that he will help guide her boy. Yen. as parents we have all gono through this experience. Fnr yearn and years our children have followed' us, ns bleating lambs follow tho mother sheep. Hut some tiny we turn our eyes to see where the children are. Then, much to our surprise, they are not by our side, Then we look up tlm moun tain heights. There Me see our boys and girls beginning to climb. Along the dly.7.v precipices they go, Over the dangerous rocks, hifdior and higher, like Alpine hunters, they mount or bni iiuce. They are climbing up the- moun tains of original research. They nro climbing up the mountains of thought. They nro starting out Tor the moun tains of fsmo. Then till that the par cuts can do 1 to sit in the vnlleys anil see their boys and girls disappear among the (lottdlands as they pray: "O Ciod, guide my children I t) (jn'd, reach out thy strong arm and bridge thii danacvous crevasse;" This time of starling for the clotidlands, for pio neering among unseen worlds, general ly comes to tlie boys and the girls when they a'e about to pass the twelfth golden milestone. Looking Into the past, we know this was our own personal expcitence. Thus is It with the first coming of Cod's visions to our children. nn.vn V.'hfi Ilcnrit thp Cull. Not only do these visions come to the child of twelve, but they come In tt rational way. When (Jud gives to tho young boy .a ilslon he Is not pictur ing for him a future life which is Im possible to lie realised, find is giving (o him tlm same k.iul of vision that he gave to the boy .Jamb, ami to tlm boy Joseph, and to the boy Samuel, ami to the boy Iav!d, and to the hoy Christ. These ancient boys us well as tho modern boys of tv.-ehe may not fully realize whnt their futures are to be, but something wlth ii them says, "O child, thou art 1o be this or that or the other thing on necmitit of thy mental and physical and spiritual powers." Those hoy children of twelvi fee) tho Inward as well ns the outward calllntrs of the future, as the ureal painter Ben jamin West when a ititle child used to make paint brushes from the hairs of Ills cat's tail, and as tin- boy Demos thenes felt the slumbering tiros of elo quence burning within him when lie stuttered so badly thnt in ordur to ar ticulate at all distinctly he used to put pebbles in his mouth anil as David Hralnerd heard the di Ine call to give ills life to foreien mslnnft long be fore he was out of the short trousers of the schoolroom. Not only do these votiths and maid ens feel the ratiom.l call of their fu ture life work, 'nit tin- parents and tho guardians and the t 'lehers may sen the trend of llm r jp ids and hearts If they only wati h the actions of these children clo-ely nnd i.i'.elllgently. Tho other flay I was ver. much interested In reading a letter b John Adams, the young schoolter.. I . r of Worcester, Mass., wrote of I is o,.i college friends. The second ire-r,'lerj,t of the Citited States was then a young pedagogue. This is die letter: "I sometimes consid er myself in my great chair nt school as some dictator over n commonwealth In th's little state I can discover ail sireat geniuses and all of the surprising actions .Mini revolutions of the great world in miniature I have several re nowned generals, only three feet high, and several poiit ci ins lu petticoats, I hnvo others who we catching and dis secting li.es with ".s ardent curiosity ns any virtuoso of the Itoynl society. Their investigations are sincere, ear nest and liasnd on the amliitinns of fu ture greatness. Some rattle and thun der out A V i', etc. with as much fire and impeluodty as A!eauder fought. Some of them often sit down and cry when oiit'pelled as heartily as Caesar cried at Alexander's sc,iulcher wlp-n in formed that the .Macedonian lie: o had conijuered the world before Ins age In sltort, my llttl" school, like the great world, is made up of kitii;s, politician's, divines, LL. D.'s. fop;-, buffoons, fid tilers, sycophants, fools coxcombs, chimney sweepers ; rvl every other character known In history or seen in tho world." In other words. Just ns John Adams, the teacher, could fore see the future of hi.t scholars by their actions end predilections at school, so the child himself, by the Inward work ings of his mind and soul, can feel and so.', thoti.-h It may lie thinly, what God wants him to do. VislmiH nf Youth, Oh, the visions of youth! How Im portant they tire for the development of the child, In the book of Troverlis wo read, "Where there Is no vision the feople perish," That menus when the people have no Ideals hovering before them, where the sculptor cannot see u more perfect statue in dim outline standing boside the stone he has chisel ed, and the musician cannot hear n sweeter song than that which he has composed, and the reformer cannot seo u more perfect I'topia than that In which he lives, then the development of those people is retrograding Instead of ndvanciug. Involuting instead uf ev ol it ting. Hut, my friends. If It is es sential for tho developed man to have perfect visions ever before hlm, how much more Important Is It for the un developed child to hnve visions befora him! These visions, when they come from (lod, arc not like the unaccount' able mirages of Ihe desert or like air castles bulldod in the sandy wastes. They are rational visions bullded by the angel of hope saying to the child: "Hoy, girl, with thy 'oliysical and men tal and spiritual nature God bids thee 1o reach out to accomplish these things which thou now seest. Look up, look out, look on." l'nit.res Hodgson I'.ur net I, looking Into the dim punt and writing tho history of her girlhood days lu that fusclnating book called "The One I Knew Het of ,U," s not seeing a more realistic character Hum do tome children wheu they look Into the dim future und by reason of their physical and mental ami spiritual tend encies plcturo themselves as sotno day being lawyers or doctors or mlu IsOrs or merchants or bankers or In ventors or musicians or statesmen or poets or songMers or leformers. These children by such visions hoar tho call for future work. They hear It so clear ly und distinctly that lu their mimic there is no doubt as to that call com ing direct from the throne of God. Hut wo must not stop here In the dis cussion of this mighty theme. It is very Important to hav the visions of youth, but It Is just an Important to have tho child developed aright nfter those first visions hove come nnd gone. Tftose first -rlslotis of childhood nlwuva seem to me like the little green shoots which spring up out of the ground. Cnre for them. OiT them plenty of sunlight, nnd let not th winds handle them too roughly, or the cold freeo them, or the droughts parch them, nnd they will change themselves into tho sapling, then after awhile into tho stout yonnR trees nnd thou Into the giant oaks, but crush tho roots or de stroy tho first visions and you may ruin the whole nfter development, If I might use another Illustration, the visions of childhood Impress mo like the delicate films or plates which the photographer puts Into his Instru ment when he Is about to take a pic ture. He carefully guards those flints from nil light or else they nro destroy ed. When I wns traveling nround the world I had quite n number of these rolls of films, I did not know how to care for them. The result wns that when I reached Calcutta, India, antl went to havo my negatives developed I found thnt I had nothing but blank rnper. Then after the pictures have been taken the protogrnphcr takes tin; negatives into a dark room, where, with certain fields, he develops them. Then he gives to you the photographs, which you place upon your bureaus or hang upon jour walls. So with the films of the child's brain. The divine sun shines upon them. The negatives will then appear. They are Cod's first , visions, but oh. so delicate! They of- j ten can be rubbed out almost nt a touch. We had better beware how wu laugh nt or denounce the child. ' i SMnsh I'nrents. i And yet Inevitably we heed but little j the visions of n child of twelve sum- mors, if your boy, Just entering his teens, comes to you some evening In the library and says, "rather, I would like to give my heart to (.'hr''.:- t-i go out ns a missionary to China or Ai'ri-, rn," what would you do? Would you . stop nnd take that child upon your lap, i as though he was seeing a vision from (.iod? Would you tell him of the glori ous usefulness which such a life of self sacrifice would produce? Perhaps, but 1 rather think this is the way you would do: You would iooic up for nn Instant from your book or ledger or the manuscript you were reading or writ ing, and you would say; "Yes, ys, ' child; yes, yes! That would bo nice. Hut run away now. Papa Is very busy. Hun away" Supposing some day you should find your little girl crying over the story of "Little Nell." Supposing F,he looks up to you and nays; "Oh, tnsmma, there is so much of suffering ntnl poverty In the world. I would lovo io give op my l;fe ss n Christian nurse to wori: among the poor and the kelp- 1p?." What no'ild yon doV "Vould yon take your little plrl "ith you tiu'imcli tlm filnms nnd talk to her about tlti poverty antl tue isnoraut'c and tlm Kfiunlor of ii (jreat city?

I want you to b" n i-oci.il qupen and not to bind uii the wounds of the foelal out casts." All, my friend?, Is that your way of dealing with the vision'.' .Many nf the tit'.-t vision'; of a possible tri'.ltn phnnt missionary for Christ have beer. BtipproFed by a selfish parent lu just Mich lanLMin're as I havo quoted. Itt ware' Ilo careful how you deal with the first vision of a child. Cnnp Fornvfir, But there Is still another fact rela tlvo to the visions of childhood to which j th,'-v ra?,tf understood it. What be I would draw your attention. They came of that vision? Tor ten. fifteen may come to a boy or n girl nt a tune i .ve' r,,r nearly twenty years the when the parent thinks the child Is to I world hears nothin.; more about this yoitnsr to have any appreclntiou or any thought of his own. They may como nnd isu so quickly that, like the hittn tnlnR birds drinking out e.f the honey cups of a garden, you enn hardly tell whether they are truly here before ihey are kohp. Thpy may come nnd KO.aud after awhile seem to disappear forever, but because the fulfillment of these first visions may be postponed fur months aye, for years--do not be surprised or skeptical. Thc-e first visions of youth, if they have been welcomed nrifdit by the parent und the child, will iill be realized. They will all ne minium n tney were true vision j from (iod. ; Let mo Illustrate my thotiKht by tlie ( life of Jesus Christ. I love to think of 1 ihe Journey which this Divine riilhl ; took to the capital of his Kreat ancestor, Kins David. Jesus up to this time was nothing but a boy.

I can never think of Christ ns a frail baby or a sickly boy. livery part of hint to mo was that of a well rounded, perfect ly formed child, He was a boy who was tho life o'f his home, a boy who watt loved by every one.
