Children’s Corner. Bav. T. 0. BOTKIN, State 8.8. Evsngeliit, Ed BIBLE EXPLORA TIONS. After the death of Joshua, (he people asked the Lord, “who ehall go up for us against the Canaanites, to fight against them?” And the Lord told them that Judah should go up with them and that He would deliver the land into his hand. Judah asked his brother Simon to join him, and with their united force? they fought the Canaanites and Perinites and slew them and took the land from them. But all the other tribes did not drive out the heathen nations that were left in their portions of land given to them. The Lord sent an angel to tell the people that they hnd not done as he hau com manded them. Instead of driving out the wicked nations and destroying their idols that they had let them alone and made leagues witn them, and married among them. And he told them that he would not now be with them to help them drive out the people. That he would let them remain among them, to be “thorns in their sides and their gods should be a snare unto them.” This meant that they would cause the chil dren of Israel to have a great deal of trouble. There is one expression that we find very often repeated in reading the his tory of Israel. ‘‘The people did evil in the sight ®f the Lord.” Though God had been so good to them and had so often helped them, and fought their bat tles for them, yet they Would strangely forget all Ips goodness, and “do evil’’ over and over again. They would do the very thing that the Lord told them not to do. The one thing which the Lord hated above all else was idolatry, and over and over again told them not to worship the idols of the heathen, yet they would do it, and thus bring down terrible punishment upon themselves. When the angel appeared to them and told them of their disobedience they seemed very sorry and wept bitterly and promised to obey God, and yet in a little while they would do just as wickedly as ever. VVe wonder how they could be so thoughtless and wicked, but the people of this day are very much like the chil dren of Israel. God is very good to us, and often helps us out of our troubles, but we soon forget bis goodness and sin against him over and over again. The people continued to do so wickedly that the Lord sold them into the hands of the King of Mesopotamia and they served him eight years. But when they cried earnestly unto the Lord for help, be sent them a deliv erer, Othniel, the younger brother of Caleb. He was the first of what where called the judges of Israel. The Spirit of the Lord was with Othniel, and delivered the king of Mesopotamia into his hand. And the land then had rest for forty years. But when Othniel died, the peo ple again “did evil in the eight of the Lord." And the Lord permitted the king of Moab to conquer the children of Israel, and they served him eighteen years. But when the people cried unto the Lord, be sent them another deliver er, Ebud, a left-handed man, who was the second judge of Israel. The children of Israel sent a present to thekingofMoab byEhud. When he went to carry it, he hid a dagger under his raiment upon his right thigh. After he had given the king the present, he told the king he had a secret message for him. The king sent out all his servants, and when they were left alone, Ehud drew out his dagger and thrust in the king and killed him, and fled away. He went to the mountain of Ephraim and blew a trumpet, and the children of Israel came to him. He told them to follow him, for the Lord bad de livered the Moabites into their hands. They then went down to the fords of the Jordan and slew ten thousand Moabites, all men cf valor. God thus again saved Israel and the land had rest for eighty years. QUESTIONS. 1.

There lived in the village of Oakville, a wealthy man by the name of Newel, and but for one thing he would have been happy; his wife was not a Christian. They had an oniy child, a little girl of seven summers, whose name was Olie. she was very bright, loving, and sweet tempered, the joy and idol of her parent’s hearts. Mr. Newel was Superintendent of the Sunday school at Oakville, and Jit tie Olie loved dearly to go with her fath er every Sunday. One Sunday after they had returned from the S. S. her’father was singing about Jesus, when Olie looked up into his Lee and said: “Father, what makes you sing and talk about Jesus so much, you never see Him?” Mr. Newel took her up on his lap and told her of the Savior’s love. The little pet, with thoughtful looks, asked her father to please carry her to Jesus, she wanted to love Him too. This was enough, the father caught her up in bis arms, pressed a kiss on her brow, and exclaimed! “Bless the Lord, oh! my soul.” He then kneeled and asked the Savior to make his dear child one of his lambs. He prayed, too, for his wife. Oh, if she would only love Jesus, his cup of happi ness would be running over, but alas! she turned away from all entreaties. Af ter this, there’ seemed a chord that bound Olie more closely to her father than ever, and she was never weary in asking questions. On the following day Olie went to her mother, twined her little arms around her neck and said: “Mother, 1 love you, but I love Jesus better, wont you love Him too? Oh, I do love Him, and if I could see Him, I Would put my arms around his neck and kiss Him.’’ ‘‘Olie, don’t talk so, you don’t know what you are saying,” replied the mother. Christmas day, following Olie’s conver sion, was spent by Mr. Newel and Olie, visiting the sick and poor, and making glad many hearts. Mrs. Newel was left alone most of the day, and her mind dwelt upon the seeming happiness of those Christians who were actively en gaged in working for Jesus. More than once did she exclaim, ‘‘Oh! that I knew the way to attain this happiness." After tea a boy came for Mr. Newel in great haste, a friend wished to see him about something urgent. The night was very cold, and on his way back was caught in a snow storm. Next morning he was too sick to leave his bed. The doctor eameand pronounced him dan gerously ill. Several days passed In which he ravedin wild delirium. Often would he pray for his wife and child. All this time Olie was unnoticed. Her mother was too buay nursing her father to give her much attention, and even if she had not have been, she could not have filled the fathers place, for she nev er talked of the Savior. Oh, how Olie longed for her father’s recovery. Once after vainly trying to make him talk to her, she said to her mother: "I am going to tell Jesus, and ask Him to let father know us again.” Not long after lie opened his eves and called for Olie. With what joy did she run to him, exclaiming as she went, “I knew Jesus would hear me!” The father took her little hands in his and said: “Olie, father must leave you now; I ?;oingto my home, but when I am gone, ather’s little darling must shine for Je sus." Turning to his wife he said: “Oh, shall I see your face no more? Why not give your heart to Jesus now? Ob, the sorrow that filled every heart when Mr. Newel was put in his ecffln. Little Olie ran to him crying with all the agony of her heart, “My fatherl my father, what shall I do without you? The father’s words to Olie made a lasting im- pression on her heart. Wonder what I lather meant by saying I must shine for Jesus! I wonder if reading the Bible to the old, getting up 8. 8. scholars, and do ing everything good is shining? Olie did shine too. she was a little sun beam sca’teringseeds of kindness wher ever she went. This verse was a great favorite with her. “So I’ll follow in thy fontsteps, With my bund f ut hold in thine, When thon make-t up thy Jewels, Let thy little child bhin’e. Two years have passed since Mr. Newel died, and mother sad, impressive, but beautiful scene has visited that home. Olie is near to death. The little lamp has nearly gone out. "Oh, God, spare my only child!’’ The agony of that mother’s heart can not be imagined only by those who have had to passthrough a similiar trial. She would try to pray, but God seemed very far oil. Olie is sleeping, and from the smiles that float over her beautiful face, we know what is going on within. Sud denly th* eyelids parted and she said to her mother: • “I have been dreaming, and oh, what a sweet dream I did have-I’ve been talking with father, and he told me that I would soon come. Dear mother get right down on your knees, and give your beait to God, so when I go to heaven I can tell father that you love our Jesus.” By some irresistable impulse, she fell on her kneesand prayed as she never prayed before. She rose rejoicing in a crucified Redeemer. Little vlie’s woik was ended, and the happy spirit flew away to heaven, there to shine on forev er. Now, my little readers, I want all of you to give your hearts to Jesus, and to shine for him as did little Olie. None for work need wander far, Little dee< s most useful arc, And the will can find away To do semething every day.
