123:2.2 On this day in February the direct and [[personal]] supervision of the Universe Rulers, as it was related to the integrity of the childlike [[incarnation]] of [[Michael]], terminated. From that time on throughout the [[human]] unfolding of the [[incarnation]], the guardianship of [[Jesus]] was destined to [[rest]] in the keeping of this [[indwelling Adjuster]] and the associated [[seraphic guardians]], supplemented from time to time by the [[ministry]] of [[midway creatures]] assigned for the [[performance]] of certain definite [[duties]] in [[accordance]] with the instruction of their [[planetary superiors]].

123:2.3 [[Jesus]] was five years old in August of this year, and we will, therefore, refer to this as his fifth (calendar) year of life. In this year, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/@_BC 2 B.C.], a little more than one month before his fifth birthday anniversary, [[Jesus]] was made very [[happy]] by the coming of his sister Miriam, who was born on the night of July 11. During the evening of the following day [[Jesus]] had a long talk with his [[father]] concerning the [[manner]] in which various [[groups]] of living [[things]] are [[born]] into the world as separate [[individuals]]. The most valuable part of [[Jesus]]' early [[education]] was secured from his [[parents]] in answer to his thoughtful and searching [[inquiries]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joseph Joseph] never failed to do his full [[duty]] in taking pains and spending time answering the boy's numerous questions. From the time [[Jesus]] was five years old until he was ten, he was one [[continuous]] question mark. While [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_122#122:1._JOSEPH_AND_MARY Joseph and Mary] could not always answer his questions, they never failed fully to [[discuss]] his inquiries and in every other possible way to [[assist]] him in his efforts to reach a [[satisfactory]] solution of the [[problem]] which his alert [[mind]] had suggested.

123:2.4 Since returning to [[Nazareth]], theirs had been a busy [[household]], and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joseph Joseph] had been unusually occupied building his new shop and getting his [[business]] started again. So fully was he occupied that he had found no time to build a [[cradle]] for James, but this was corrected long before Miriam came, so that she had a very comfortable [[crib]] in which to nestle while the [[family]] admired her. And the [[child]] [[Jesus]] heartily entered into all these [[natural]] and [[normal]] [[home]] [[experiences]]. He greatly enjoyed his little [[brother]] and his baby sister and was of great help to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus) Mary] in their [[care]].
