fresh letter in it, <strong>and</strong> she looked at <strong>the</strong>m all in <strong>the</strong><br />

light <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Nazareth-Sun.<br />

With His return to Nazareth began <strong>Jesus</strong>' <strong>Life</strong> <strong>of</strong><br />

youth <strong>and</strong> early manhood, with all <strong>of</strong> inward <strong>and</strong><br />

outward development, <strong>of</strong> •St Lukt heavenly <strong>and</strong><br />

earthly approbation which it carried.* Whe<strong>the</strong>r or<br />

not He went to Jerusalem on recurring Feasts, we<br />

know not, <strong>and</strong> need not inquire. For only once<br />

during that period—on His first visit to <strong>the</strong><br />

Temple, <strong>and</strong> in <strong>the</strong> awakening <strong>of</strong> His Touth-Iafe—<br />

could <strong>the</strong>re have been such outward forth-bursting<br />

<strong>of</strong> His real Beitig <strong>and</strong> Mission. O<strong>the</strong>r influences<br />

were at <strong>the</strong>ir silent work to weld His inward <strong>and</strong><br />

outward development, <strong>and</strong> to determine <strong>the</strong> manner<br />

that <strong>the</strong> School-education <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong> must have<br />

ceased soon after His return to Nazareth.<br />

Henceforth <strong>the</strong> Nazareth-influences on <strong>the</strong> <strong>Life</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />

Thinking <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong> may be grouped—<strong>and</strong><br />

progressively as He advanced from youth to<br />

manhood—under <strong>the</strong>se particulars: Home Naturey<br />

<strong>and</strong> Prevailing Ideas.
