123:4.1 This was, indeed, an [[eventful]] year in [[Jesus]]' life. Early in January a great [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blizzard snowstorm] occurred in [[Galilee]]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow Snow] fell two feet deep, the heaviest snowfall [[Jesus]] saw during his lifetime and one of the deepest at [[Nazareth]] in a hundred years.

123:4.2 The [[play]] life of [[Jewish]] [[children]] in the times of [[Jesus]] was rather [[circumscribed]]; all too often the children [[played]] at the more serious things they [[observed]] their [[elders]] doing. They played much at [[weddings]] and [[funerals]], [[ceremonies]] which they so frequently saw and which were so spectacular. They [[danced]] and [[sang]] but had few [[organized]] [[games]], such as children of later days so much enjoy.

123:4.3 [[Jesus]], in company with a [[neighbor]] boy and later his brother James, delighted to [[play]] in the far corner of the [[family]] [[carpenter]] shop, where they had great fun with the shavings and the blocks of wood. It was always [[difficult]] for Jesus to [[comprehend]] the harm of certain sorts of [[play]] which were forbidden on the [[Sabbath]], but he never failed to [[conform]] to his [[parents]]' [[wishes]]. He had a [[capacity]] for [[humor]] and [[play]] which was afforded little [[opportunity]] for [[expression]] in the [[environment]] of his day and [[generation]], but up to the age of fourteen he was cheerful and lighthearted most of the time.

123:4.4 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus) Mary] maintained a dovecote on top of the animal house adjoining the [[home]], and they used the [[profits]] from the sale of doves as a special [[charity]] fund, which [[Jesus]] [[administered]] after he deducted the [[tithe]] and turned it over to the officer of the [[synagogue]].

123:4.5 The only real [[accident]] [[Jesus]] had up to this time was a fall down the back-yard stone stairs which led up to the canvas-roofed bedroom. It happened during an unexpected July [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dust_storm sandstorm] from the east. The hot [[winds]], carrying blasts of fine sand, usually blew during the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_season rainy season], especially in March and April. It was extraordinary to have such a storm in July. When the storm came up, [[Jesus]] was on the housetop [[play]]ing, as was his [[habit]], for during much of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_season dry season] this was his accustomed playroom. He was blinded by the sand when descending the stairs and fell. After this [[accident]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joseph Joseph] built a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balustrade balustrade] up both sides of the stairway.

123:4.6 There was no way in which this [[accident]] could have been prevented. It was not chargeable to neglect by the [[Midwayers|midway]] temporal guardians, one [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_77#77:1._THE_PRIMARY_MIDWAYERS primary] and one [https://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_77#77:6._THE_SECONDARY_MIDWAYERS secondary midwayer] having been assigned to the watchcare of the lad; neither was it chargeable to the [[guardian seraphim]]. It simply could not have been avoided. But this slight [[accident]], occurring while [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Joseph Joseph] was absent in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endor_(village) Endor], caused such great [[anxiety]] to develop in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_(mother_of_Jesus) Mary]'s mind that she unwisely tried to keep [[Jesus]] very close to her side for some months.

123:4.7 [[Material]] [[accidents]], commonplace occurrences of a [[physical]] [[nature]], are not [[arbitrarily]] [[interfered]] with by [[celestial]] [[personalities]]. Under ordinary circumstances only [[midway creatures]] can [[intervene]] in [[material]] conditions to safeguard the [[persons]] of [[men]] and [[women]] of [[destiny]], and even in special situations these [[beings]] can so [[act]] only in [[obedience]] to the specific [[mandates]] of their superiors.

123:4.8 And this was but one of a [[number]] of such minor [[accidents]] which subsequently befell this [[inquisitive]] and [[adventurous]] [[youth]]. If you envisage the average [[childhood]] and [[youth]] of an [[aggressive]] boy, you will have a fairly [[good]] [[idea]] of the youthful [[career]] of [[Jesus]], and you will be able to [[imagine]] just about how much [[anxiety]] he caused his [[parents]], particularly his [[mother]].
