Jesus Christ was born in
obscure village, Bethlehem,
child of a peasant woman. God
was his father and the Virgin
Mary was his mother. He grew
up in an obscure village.
The city of Nazareth where he
spent his early life was so wicked
that a saying had gone about it,
“Can anything good come out of
Nazareth?” He worked in a car-
penter shop, I suppose, until he
was thirty. He was baptized in
the River Jordon of John, selec-
ted his apostles from among his
many disciples and went about
over the country rebuking sin,
pleading for purity and helping
everybody.
He never wrote a
never held an office, he never
owned a home, not
ground where he was buried was
his own. Most of the things he
used in this life were borrowed,
because He did not need the
things of this world but just a
little while. We ought to learn a
lesson from him and use our
short time here in the happiest
and best way possible so we can
spend eternity in heaven. He
never had a family of his own.
He never went to college. It
seems he never traveled more than
200 miles from the place where
He was bom. He never did any
of the things that usually accom-
pany greatness. The world was
as corrupt as ever in its history,
and yet Jesus lived among sinful
men without taking any part in
their sins. Every nation He con-
tacted and all who have ever
heard about Him have
blessed in a wonderful way.
went back to God as pure as he
rwas when he left Him in heaven.
He did not expect people to ac-
cept him as the Son of God with-
out any proof.
He brought credentials with
Him, His miracles. He demon-
strated His power over demons
arid evil spirits by casting them
out. He proved His power over
sickness and disease by curing
those afflicted by the name. He
demonstrated His power over the
elements of this natural world by
stopping the wind and calming
the sea. He even proved His
power over death by raising Laz-
arus and many others from the
dead, but the greatest power that
He manifests in- the world today
is the power of His Gospel (Rom.
1:16) to save the souls
and the effect of His
the lives of those who
saved from past sins.
While still a young man,
popular opinion turned against
Him. Many of his followers and
friends went away and one of His
disciples denied Him while anoth-
er betrayed Him.
He was turned over to His
enemies. He went through sev-
eral imock trials and was nailed
upon a cross between two thieves.
His executioners gambled for the
only piece of property on this
earth that he ever owned. This
took place while he was dying.
Then He was taken down and
buried in a borrowed grave
through the love of his friends.
On the morning of the third day
he arose from the dead with all
power in Heaven and on earth.
Just before His ascension into
Heaven he told the apostles to

Govemor Price Daniel by pro-
clamation has designated the week
of July 24-30 as Farm Safety
Week in Texas. This same period
has also been designated as Na-
tional Safety Week by the Presi-
dent of the United States.
In his proclamation, Governor
Daniel said: “The Nation’s eco-
nomy is independent upon the
continued well-being and progress
of our State’s agricultural popu-j
lation.MAccidents from farm work*
cause needless suffering, distress i
and loss of life each year among
our rural families.
“By directing the attention of
our i-ural residents to safety ediu-
cation, such worthwhile programs
now -being conducted can greatly
reduce accidents. I urge all Texas
farm families to increase their
vigilance against needless acci-
dents and further encourage in-
terested organizations and indi-
viduals in this program.”
The Texas Farm and Ranch
Safety Council points out that the
purpose of the special week is
to focus attention on the year-
round need for reducing the num-
ber of farm accidents, and to
cause those who can do something
about the problem, to act. The
farmer and his family, says the
Council, must carry safety into
their everyday lives. Nationally,
creature, he that believeth and' they add, farm accidents cost
is baptised shall be saved and he one and a quarter billion dollars
that believeth not shall be dam-
ned.” (Mk. 15-16) He said in
Matt. 7: 21, “not everyone that
