Children’s Corner. Bev. 1.0. EOT KIN, State 8. 8. Evangelist, Ed BIBLE EXPLORA TIONS. The Lord told Gideon that if he had any fears that he would not overcome the Midianites, he could take his ser vant with him down to their camp, and he would hear what they said, and then he would be satisfied. So Gideon went down to the valley where the hosts of the Midianites were encamped “like grasshoppers for mul titude.” When he came near to one of the tents, he heard one man telling another a dream that he had had. He dreamed that a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host, and came against a tent and threw it flat upon the ground. The man who heard the dream said : “This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon, a man of Israel; for into his hand hath God delivered Midian and all the host.” When Gideon heard the dream and the explanation of it, he worshiped God and went back to his men and said : “Arise, for the Lord hath delivered into your hands the host of Midian.” He then divided his three hundred men into three bands, and put into every man’s hand a trumpet, an empty pitch er, and a lamp or torch in the pitcher and told them to do just as he did— that when he blew his trumpet, that they should do the same, and say, “The sword of the Lord and of Gid eon." “So .... and the .... men that were*.... came unto the .... of the .... in the beginning of the .... watch; and they had but .... set the .. ..; and they .... the .... and .. . the ... . that were in their . . . . ” and every man stood in his place around the camp, as Gideon had ordered, and each one blew his trumpet and broke his pitcher and held up the lamps with the left hand and cried out, “The sword of the Lord and of Gideon.” And all the host of Midian was greatly fright ened, and cried and fled, and became so much confused that they began to kill one another with their swords. The men of Israel of three tribes gathered themselves together and went out after the Midianites, and slew large numbers of them. But Gideon sent messengers to one tribe to gather at the fords of the Jordan and slay those who came there, and they took many oth ers, two princes, one of whom they slew at a rock, and the other at a wine press, and then carried their heads to ' Gideon. Gideon and his band of three hun dred men crossed over the Jordan pur suing after the kings of Midian, and his men were hungry and faint, and asked the people of Succoth to give them bread, but they refused to do so. Gideon told them that when the Lord had given the kings into his hand, then he would tear their flesh with thorns and briers. He made the same request for Oscod, of the men of Penu el, and they also refused. And Gideon told them that when he returned he would break down their tower. He continued to pursue the kings of Midi an till he overtook and captured them, and “discomfited all their hest,” which was 15,000 men, all that were left of 135,000 that they had when first at tacked by Gideon and his band of 300. On his return with the captured kings Gideon did to the men of Succoth and Penuel as he had said : tore the flesh of the former with briars and thorns, and beat down the tower of the latter, and slew the men of their city. He then asked the kings of Midian what kind of men they had slain at Tabor, and they said, “As thou art, so were they.” And Gideon said that they were his brothers, and if they had spared their lives, so would he now spare the lives of the kings before him. He then said to his first-born son, “Up and slay them.” But the youth hesi tated, because he was so young. The kings said, “Rise thou and fall on us.” And Gideon arose and slew the two kings, and took away the ornaments that were hung on the necks of their camels. QUESTIONS. 1.

I have not always the time to make out all the enigmas, but always find time to read the “Children’s Cor ner.” I send you some answers; hope they are correct. I wish you much success. Nelah Belle C. Palmetto, Feb. 16th. This is one of the nicest letters we have received, for a girl ten years old. There is not a single blot or scratch in it, and it is well written every way. The answers are all very good indeed, and we are very glad to have Belle (that’s one of the sweetest names in the world) among our explorers. We hope to hear from her often. Wonder if her father is a preacher! Guess so. Many preacher’s children fail to join our band. Why? We would be so glad if we had about five hundred explorers like J. and 8., and write as they do. “We are so very, very glad you com menced the Explorations in The In dex. We enjoy them so much.” We are “very, very glad” that they are so much interested. We are look ing for a special letter from them. After two weeks spent in the Friend ship Association, we are now in the Bethel, having visited one church, Enon, in the Bowen. We have had some very unpleasant weather, ano very bad roads to contend with, and failed to reach two appointments on account of rain, but we hope and be lieve that our work has not been in vain. We expect to hear of a good school at every church we visited, and at some we did not visit. We have been most kindly cared for by the brethren and friends among whom we have been cast. Our association with the pastors we have met has been ex ceedingly pleasant, and their promise of co-operation has afforded us very great comfort, and inspired us with new hope. Brethren Bussey, Bell, Hart, Ross, Butler, Golden and Underwood, will have a warm place in our heart. The first named covered our head, and the last warmed our hands, while the others did much to make us feel good. Time will fail us to tell of kind words and acts received at the hands of other brethren and friends. Our well beloved brother, D. E. Butler, was with us at Fort Valley and Camilla, where we write this,and where we have had a most pleasant time. The Camilla brethren and their dear pastor are always clever and kind. WATCH YOUR WORDS. Keep a watch on your words my darlings, For words are wonderful things; They are sweet, like the bee's fresh honey, Like the bees they have terrible stings. They can bless, like the warm, glad sunshine, And brighten a lonely life : They can cut, in the strife of anger, Like an open, two edged knife. Let them pass through your Ups unchallenged, If their errand is true and kind; If they come to support the weary, To comfort and help the blind. If a bitter, revengeful spirit Prompt the words, let them be unsaid ; They may flash through a brain like lightning Or fall on the heart like lead. Keep them back if they’re cold and cruel, Under bar, and lock, and seal; The wounds they make, my darlings, Are always slow to heal. Msy peace guard your lives, and ever; From this time of your early youth, May the words that you daily utter Be the beautiful words of truth, How to See a Seed Gbow.— Many lit tle folks wonder how a seed grows. Some boys tnd girls have taken up the seed after planting it in the ground, and thereby preventing it from taking root. We may, however, see the roots shott ing out horn the hyacinth" bulbs that grow in glasses in our windows : and in this way we may see other seeds sprout and shoot. A gentleman, to gratify his little sone, took a glass tumbler, around which he tied a bit of common lace, allowing the lace to haug or drop down in the centre of the glass. He then put enough water in the glass to cover the lower part of the lace, and in this bellow he dropped two sweet peas. The little boys were told to look at them every day, and they would learn what was going on under ground with similar seeds. Next morning the boys hurried from the breakfast room to look at the glass with the peas in the south window. They found that while they we asleep, the brown skins had burst; and a tiny white sprout soon grew large enough to reach thiough the holes in the lace, and on the top of the peas two little green leaves were seen. In time, the boys saw the white, thread like roots reach almost to the bot tom of the glass, while the green leaves grew large, and gave way to a stalk or stem. In this way most seeds may be seen to grow. The First Wrong Button.—“ Dear me!” said little Janet. “1 buttoned just one button wrong and that made all the rest go wrongand Janet fretted as if the buttons were quite at fault for her trouble. “Patience!” said mamma, smiling at the little fretful face, “ and next time look out for the first wrong button, and then you’ll keep all the test right. And,” added mamma, as the last button was put in its place and the scowling face was smooth once more, “ look out for the first wrong deed of any kind, fur another is sure to follow.’’ Janet remembered how, one day not long ago, she struck baby Alice; that was the first wrong deed. Then she de nied having done it, and that was ano ther. Then she was unhappy and cross all that day because she had told a lie. What a long list of buttons fastened wrong just because one went wrong— because her naughty little hand struck baby. The best thing she could do to make it right again was to tell mamma how naughty she had been, and ask her to forgive her, but that was much hard er than just to undo the buttons again. Janet thought it all over,and between the buttons and her very unhappy day, I think she learned never again to for get to look out for the first wrong deed. This is a dangerous season, and often the fondest mother's care is no protection against coughs, colds and hoarseness. Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup should be kept in readi ness. Price 25 cents.
