Children’s Corner. T. 0. BOYKIN, State 8. 8. Evangelist, Ed BIBLE EXPLORATIONS.' After the defeat of Ai, the children of Israel were very much disheartened and discouraged. The Lord appeared to Joshua and told him not to be afraid, but to take all the people and go up against Ai again; and that he should overcome the city and take all captive as he had done at Jericho. So Joshua rose up early in the morn ing, with the elders of Israel, and pitched his camp on the north side of the city of Ai. He took about five thousand men and sent them on the west side of the city. The king of Ai then came out with his army to fight Joshua, but he was ut terly defeated; the king was taken cap tive ; all the people were put to death, and the city was burned with fire. The king of Ai was hanged on a tree, where his body remained till after sundown. Joshua then commanded them.to take his body down from the tree and cast it at the entering of the gate of the city and threw upon it a great heap of stones. Now, when all the kings in Canaan heard of what the people of Israel had done at Jericho and Ai, they were great ly alarmed, and determined to band themselves together to fight against Josh ua and Israel. But a people called the Gibeonites were afraid to fight against Israel, and tried to save themselves in another way ; they played a trick upon Joshua. A number of them came to him dressed in old worn-out garments, with old sacks upon their asses, and wine bot tles, old and rent, and bound up; and the bread which they brought with them was dry and moldy, as though it had been cooked a long time. They said to Joshua, “We are come from a far country, make a league with us, for we are thy servants.” Joshua made peace with them, and let them live, and the princes of a congregation swear unto them. After three days Joshua found out be had been deceived. They were not from a far country, but from near by. But since the league had been made, and the princes had sworn to spare their lives, they said, "We will make them hewers of wood and drawers of water for ail the congregation of the children of Israel.’’ Ana Joshua called them up and said unto them: “Wherefore have ye beguiled us, saying, *We are very far from you,’ when ye dwell among us ? Now, therefore, ye are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being bondmen, and bear ers of wood and drawers of water for the house oi God.” And they told Joshua they had deceived him because they were afraid of him, and because the Lord had commanded all the inhabitants of the land to be destroyed ; therefore we have done this thing, but we are in thy hand, do with us whatever seems good to thee. “And made them day... .0f.... and... .0f... .for the and for the ... of the....even unto this....; in the.... which he 5h0u1d....” QUESTIONS. 1.

Dear Mr. Boykin : I send answers to Bible questions and “M.’s” enigmas and questions to-day. Hope they are correct. Respectfully, Lucy S. P. S. —I answered the other enigma by D. P., but I learn it has been sent in anil will not send it. Answers received and are correct, and we take pleasure in adding Miss Lucy’s name to our list of explorers. We hope she will be benefited by joining us, and be as great a help to us as one other from the same place. We hope all our explorers had a pleas ant Christmas and a happy New Year. Our Christmas was spent in a very quiet way with our little Belle, in Alabama. She was made very happy by the recep tion of several nice presents, among them a pretty little doll, and ever so many dresses, etc., from her thoughtful and kind friend, Bessie R., of Montevallo. We pity the little girls who have no doll to play with, but pity more the parents who cannot, or will not, give them to their little daughters. We have two letters all the way from Winona, Miss., from Alberta J. C, and Emma M. G., both containing full an swers to questions, and correct solu tions of enigmas. We heartily welcome them to our band of explorers, and hope they will continue to be diligent students with us. Two things would have pleased us: 1. That they had told us something about themselves. 2. That they had not sent their letters to the care of The Index. We must continue to make that request. Sup pose Alberta and Emma send us a nice enigma. They are not hard to make with the help of Bible names and con cordance. We now have explorers in at least three States, and would be glad to have them from every state where The Index goes. To Julia and Bat-tey.—All your an swers are right except the 20th, they are not only correct, but neatly and nicely written—(that mistake was the printers, not ours.) If all the answers are as good as those sent, B. will very likely get the prize. Is not J. trying too? But Alberta and Emma will also get a prize, if they continue as they have begun. We want to see which will do the best. All of you must be careful about writing and spelling. Do you understand? We neglected to say that the first answer to P. T’s. enigma was sent by Mrs. M. No explorer is more prompt than she. Who will send us some new and striking enigma’s and puzzles? We offer the following prizes: For the best set of three Bible Enigmas or Puzzles, a copy of the Gallery of Baptist minis ters on rollers. For the next best, a copy without rollers. If the parties desire it, we will send in place of the Gallery, a valuable book, or a beautiful chromo. The enigmas must be sent by the loth of January, next. Don’t send any to the care of The Index, as they may not be received in time to be examined. Since the above was written we have received the following from B. M. 8., a little boy 11 years of age. A wicked man, who his brother killed dead. A king from whom Joseph, with Je sus fled. A woman who once gave drink at a well. A bold archer, who in Poran did dwell. A King who was tall, but not meek or mild. A man who well knew the Scriptures from a child. A great law giver most faithful and good. A high priest that helped all that he could. Who does what bad he can, not all he would. The initials give what was intended to be the celebration of a wonderful event. WJSC4.T THE CHOIR SANG ABOUTTHE NE W BONNET. A foolish little maiden bought a foolish little bonnet, With a ribbon, and a feather, and a bit of lace upon it; And that ibe other maidens of the little town might know it, She thought she’d go to meeting the next Sunday Just to show it. But though the little bonnet was scarce larger than a dime, The getting of it settled proved to be a work of time; Sowhen ’twas fairy tied, all the bells had stop ped their ringing, And when she came to meeting, sure enough, the folks were singing. So this foolish little maiden stood and waited at the door; And she shook her ruffles out behind, and smoo thed them down before. “Hallelajah, hallelujah i” sang the choir above her head— " Hardly knew yon! hardly knew you!” were the words she thought they said. This made the little maiden feel so very, very cross. That she gave her little mouth a twist, her little head a toss: For she thought the very hymn they sang was all about her bonnet, With the iibbon, and the feather, and the bit of lace upon it. And she would not wait to listen to the*sermon or the prayer, But pattered down the silent street, and hurried up the stair, Till she reached her little bureau, and in a hand box on it Had bidden safe from critic's eyeher foolish little bonnet. Which proves my little maidens, that each of you will find In every Sabbath service but an echo of your mind: And the little head that’s filled with silly little airs, Will never get a blessing from sermon or from prayers. —Christian Leader ~janulry. BY M. L. Yes, children, the old year has gone, and as some say, “The wee small new year is coming in on the lap of hoary headed winter.” It al ways seems to us who live up North as though it was just right to have the new year begin the first of January, be cause it is so, perhaps. But there is ail especial fitness about it, even though it may not have been noticed by the one who arranged it so. The year begins when all nature is locked In snow and ice. Soon every thing thaws and the plants grow, and bloom and bear fruit, and then frost comes and the year ends just as It be gins,—all snow and frost. The year did not always begin at this time. In olden times their were only ten months in the year, and the year began about the beginning of spring. But the Romans, those people who made so many changes in the customs of the world, made a new calendar, and added two months to the year, making twelve in all. One of these new months was called January, in honor of Janus, a heathen god who was supposed to preside over all doors and gates, and who they very na turally supposed would have something to do with the opening of the year. This month was not considered the first month by every one for a good many years. The old inhabitants of England used to call it "wolf-month,” because the wolves were fiercer in this month than at any other time of the year. Then its name was changed to Acfler Yule, that is, after Christmas, and at last as they grew more civilized and began to adopt the customs of other countries, they called this month by the name by which it is still known- “Janueer, Freeze the pot upon the fire.” Profitable Patients. The most wonderful and marvelous suc cess in cases where persons are sick or wasting away from a condition of misera bleness, that no one knows what ails them, (profitable patients for doctors), is obtained by the use of Hop Bitters. They begin to cure from the first dose and keep it up until perfect health and strength is restored. Whoever is afflicted in this way need not suffer when they can get Hop Bitters. —Cin- cinnati Star. —••• • One trial of Dobbins’ Electric Soap, (made by Cragin & Co., Philadelphia, Pa.) will sat isfy the most doubting, of its great merit.
