HE present church of St. Joseph dates back from June 12, 1787. On this day work commenced on a little log structure, grass- roofed, which was called at that time the Mission of San Jose De Guad- alupe. In spite of repeated trouble with the Indians, who resented this en- crochment on their lands, the mission prospered to such an extent that by 1809 additional buildings of lun—dr‘lfld brick were found necessary to the manifold activities of the ornnlzs— tion, and .15 years later it had over 1,800 communicants and was rated financially as fourth anfng Spanish missions on the Western frontier. The mission was visited in 1826 by Jedediah “Smith, of Mormon fame, but meeting with a cold recepticn from the Catholic occupants, he returned to Salt Lake City, being the first white man whose crossing of the Sierras is record- ed. Secularization of the churches in 1737 separated the missions from. the State, but in 1843 Spanish padres were once more placed ir® possession of San Jose and still maintained services here regularly. In 1884 a new and mnde%nnmure was erected for a seminary noviees studying for the priesthood. Later this was placed in Among the rélics in ession of the mission are two of the bells that hung in the first structure. These date back to 1815 and 1826. The timbers upon which they are hung are tied together with rawhide. The old baptismal font tco, is still used; this is of hammered copper, three feet in diameter and is surmounted by an iron cross some eight inches in height. In spite of ih! name, this mission is situated, not in the actual city of San Jose, but some little distance from the town, over the foothills toward San | Prancisco Bay.

A large number of Protestan churches of the clty wlll hold lpechl pre-] T services their own edi- fices during the ntfihu of Holy week. The Federation of Churches, v.hrml[h its Committee on Evangelism, has been making a special ue’:orlz r‘:&:m:;u vge a e number of pastors in this effort. Fnr mnny years such services have jueted in practically all of the !.'plscopnl m\d Lutheran churches, and they will continue the custom this year. The idea is relatively new to churches of some of the other denomi- nations. From the replies which have been reaching the office of the federa- tlon it seems likely that almost 100 of the white Protestant churches are making plans to observe these days in an appropriate manner. 1n some cases these ices will be held only -iwo or three hts; in dthers, for five suc- cessive nights.

Our studies during “the rter have been focused npon the worl personality, The lessons were selected oo Enkes gospel, which Renan says is “the most beautiful book that' has ever been written.” Iis author was Luke, the beloved physiclan. In all probability it was prepared as a part of Paul's defense, when the apostle was being tried before the Roman au- thorities, in an effort to prove that Christianity was a world faith. The accuracy of the skilled scientist has been confirmed by modern historical and archeological investigations be- cause Luke related the events connected with the Savior's life with great world movements. He linked up the coming of the Lord with the prophecy and hope of the Jewish nation, when he John the Baptist as the nwt.he value of a good ancestry 80 he’ established beyond "question the excellent stock from which both John and Jesus came. He traced the records and based his gospel upon the facts gleaned from “eye witnesses,” who could give him accurate knowledge of the events that,were destined to shape the world’s history. He showed how an edict of the Roman emperor had caused prophecy to be fulfilled in connection with the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. He pointed out how in fylfilling the Jewish law's ¢ ement, * the young child was recogn by two sair's as| the nation’s long expected Messiah. He | told about Christ's development ‘and education in Nazareth, a mountain vil- lage that was connected with the Temple in §erusalem because it was the home of ml.rgwof the priests. Its location !:l:hne trade routes that crossed plains of Esdraelon, brought the com- . | munity into close touch with the wng of the world. There the cl Jesus was moulded by it's religious teaching and ‘atmosphere. John the Baptist introduced the Lord to the world, Luke showed how Chris-, tianity developed from a religlous move- ment, that had preceded it through the prophectic preaching and practices of John. After the prophet learned at the Master’s baptism who He was, John introduced Him to his disciples. He told us of the Lord’s temptations in the wilderness, when Jesus was trying to think through His mission and mes- sage. Having completed his preparations, Luke passed over the Judean ministry of the Lord, so that our lessons have been largely drawn from the times of his popularity as a physumn. preacher and philanthropist in Galilee. Days of Popularity. Luke was intensely interested in the Master's healing mission. - Outside of the study we had upon Jesus as the Great Physician, when our author re- ferred to Christ’s preaching seven times, we can only flnd two other ref- erences prucher in Luke’s gospel. mn ue apt to over- look the close relation that exists be- tween religion and medicine.
