CHAPTER I.

HIS YOUTH, AND PREPARATION FOR THE MINISTRY

"_Many shall rejoice at his birth; for he shall be great in the
sight of the Lord_"--Luke 1:14.


In the midst of the restless activity of such a day as ours, it will

last years of his short life, walked calmly in almost unbroken
fellowship with the FATHER and the SON.
