Children’s Corner. Bev- T. 0. BOYKIN', State 8- 8. Evangelist, Ed BIBLE EXPLORATIONS. The Philistines, as we learn, did not know that the growing out of Samson’s hair would bring back his strength. And when on one occasion the lords of the Philistines were gathered together in the bouse of their god Dagon to offer sacrifice to him, they sent and brought Samson out of prison that he might make sport for them, and that he might, seen by all, they set him in a public part of the building where they were, between two pillars. Now the house was full of men and wo men, and there were upon the roof about three thousand that looked in upon Sam son, while he made sport. Samson said unto the lad, who led him, “Suffer me that I may feel the pillars whereupon the house standetb, that I may lean upon them,’’ and he tookhold of the two pillars calling upon God for strength, ‘‘and he bowed himself with all his might, and the house fell upon the lords, and upon all the people that were therein.” Samson also died with them, but with the Lord's help he slew more of the en emies of Israel in his death than he had ever slain while he was living. His brethren and friends now came and took his body and buried it in the sepulchre of their father Manoah. He judged Is rael twenty years. “In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” “There was a man of Mount Ephraim whose name was Micab.” And his mother had hoarded Up eleven hundred pieces of which she probably meant to leave him when she died. But he, finding where they were, took them. When she missed her money, she was filled with anger, and cursed the thief in the presence of her son, whom she possibly suspected. He, becoming alarm ed at her w ords, immediately confessed his guilt, restored the money and received her blessing. She then told him that she had “wholly dedicated the silver un to the Lord for her son’s benefit. And his mother took two hundred shekels of the silver and gave them to the founder, who made of them a graven image, and a molten image. Now, Micah had a house of gods or. idols, and he made an ephdd andteraph im ; and having himself grown up chil dren, he consecrated one oi his son’s who became his priest. Soon after there came from Bethlehem, Judah, a young man, who was a Levite, “and Micah said unto him,dwell with me, and be unto me a father and a priest, and I will give thee ten shekels of silver by the year and a suit of apparel, and thy victuals.” So the Levite was satisfied, and Micah consec rated him, “and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.” Micah thought himself very happy, because he had secured a Levite to worship in his house, and he said, "now I know that the Lord will do me food, seeing I have a Levite to my priest. n those days the Danites sought an in heritance ; “for unto that day all their in heritance had not fallen unto them among the tribes of Israel;” so they sent out a party of spies, “and they said unto them, go, search the land.” And they came to the house of Micah, and like the Levite, happened to stop there. They recognized the voice of the young Levite. and when they entered the house, asked him, how he came to be there; he, an swering them, said, Micah “hath hired ■— me, and lam his priest.” They then begged him to ask counsel of God that they might know whether they would succeed in their journey. He said that thev would, and as it happened he told them right. They passed on through the land, and saw how carelessly the people were living. So they went back and told their brethren, and six hundred armed men joined them and they march ed back to attack them. In their way they had, as the five men, to pass Micah’s house, and, having been told about the priest and all his things of worship, they got the five men to go in and steal them, and they secured the priest, and told him it would be much more honorable for him to be priest for a tribe than for one family; so he was pleased, and very readily went with them. When Micab found what they had done he gathered his neighbors together, pursued after and overtook them, but they told him he had better go back lest he should get the worst of it; and finding they were too much for him, he was obliged to loose his priest and his gods. Then the men of Dan went and took Laish, and killed its idle inhabitants, and burnt the place and built a city and called the name of it Dan. Thus ends the history of Micah’s gods, showing how the Danites became guilty of setting up idolatry. QUESTIONS. 1. Between what two places was Sam son buried? 2. Where was Bethlehem, Judah ? 3.

Lesson Vl.—May 8, 1881. THE PRODIGAL SON. Luke XV. 11-24.—AD, 29. This parable, as the two of our last lesson, was spoken by our Savior in answer to the murmurings of the Pharisees and Scribes. Ever since that day, it has been a most prec cious portion of Scripture to every penitent sinner. OUTLINE. I Rioting, v. 11-13. 11. In want, v. 14 16. 111. Penitent, v. 17 19. IV. At home, v. 20 24. NOTES. I. Rioting. V. 11. “A certain man,” etc. By the emotions of a loving father rejoicing over the return of an ungrateful and dissipated son, the Savior shows that it is proper to rejoice over returning sinners. V. 12. “The younger of them.” The more thoughtless, and therefore the most easily led astray. He is weary of parental restraint, and desires to be his own master, that he may do just as he pleases. “Give me the portion of goods (property )that falletb to me. According to Dent. 21:17 the oldest son received a double share in the division of an estate. In this case, therefore, the portion of the younger son would be one third of all his father had. He had no right however, to demand it before his father’s death. The germ of this young man's fall was the desire to leave his father, that he might gratify his wicked propensities. Its first outward manifestation was his demand fora division of the property. “He divided unto them.” He gives him one-third and reserves the remainder for the older son. He does not love his son the less, but per mits him to do as he pleases and learn by his own experience, since he refuses to submit to parental restraint. V. 13. “Not many days after.” He has tens to carry out his purpose. “Gathered all together.” Receiving his portion in money or disposing of his portion for mon ey. "Into a far country.” Where he would find no interference from home. Not imme diately into the far country, but he wander ed on till by and by he found himself far from his father's house. “Wasted his sub stance.” Squandered his property. “With riotous living.” A dissipated life. How great his fall. 11. In want. ' V- 14. “When he had spent all” on pre sent gratification, forgetful and careless as to the future “He began to be in want.” He began to feel the natural result of his course of life. When the means of satisfy ing his desires failed, then, indeed, it was a time of want with him. V. 15- “He went.” Instead of returning to bis fatnerls house he makes a desperate endeavor to remedy his distress by his own means. “Joined himself.” Hired himself. The original word implies that he was urg ent to have some one hire him. “He sent him.” What has become of that independ • ent life for which he had left his father's house? “To feed swine.” This was the very lowest occupation in Jewish thought, and is introduced here to show the exceed ing degradation to which the man had Sunk. V. 16. “Would fain-” Longed to. "The husks-” The fruit of the carob, a tree abun dant in Syria and Egypt. The husk is a pod, varying from six to ten inches in length, and about a finger’s breadth. The pod contained a thick, pithy substance, very sweet to the taste, and was used for food for cattle and especially for pigs It was eaten by the poor people, also. It is called St. John's bread, from a tradition that the Baptist lived upon it in the wilderness. “No man gave unto him,” of the husks. 111. Penitent. V. 17. “Came to himself.” He had been insanely bent on that which could not sup ply the wants of his being. He awakes now from his insanity as from a dream. “How many hired servants of my father’s.” He, too, is a hired servant, but he thinks of the hired servants in his father’s house as in a far better condition than himself. They have bread, but he, the son of the family,has not even husks. “I perish,” Alone, un - pitied, helpless. V. 18. “I will arise.” Here is the turn ■ ing point in his life A sense of complete, abject want and desertion has come over him. He does not attempt reform where he is, but determines to leave the “far country.” “Go to my father.” He still trusts in the love of his father, that love which he had cared so little for. He seeks no excuse, but without delay acts upon his determination to return. "I have sinned.” Ah, now he is sensible of the guilt of his course. “Against heaven.” That is, against God. “Before thee,” That is, in relation to thee or against thee. As the relation ot father and son is ordained by heaven, and he, having become sensible of the fact, feels that he has sinned against God, as well as against his father. V. 19 “And am no more worthy to be called thy son.” A farther evidence of his sincere repentance. “Make me as one of thy hired servants.” Only let me come home; lam willing to take any place, I do not ask to be treated as a son. IV. At home. V. 20. “His father saw him.” He’.is represented as desiring and watching for the son’s return. “Had compassion.” He is moved by the pitiable condition in which he sees him, wretched,ragged and poor. “Ran.” Impelled by loveand j >y. “Fell on his neck and kissed him,” even before the son makes any confession. V. 21. The son makes his confession, as he had purposed doing before leaving the “far country.” One thing, however,he does not say as be had intended. He does not say, Make me as one of thy hired servants. He has already been received as a son, and in joyful gratitude he talks to his father. V, 22. The father assures his son of for*, giveness, not in direct words to him, but in the commands he gives to the servants standing by. The best garment is ordered. The rags must be removed. The ring and the shoes show that he is received as a son, and not as a servant. V. 23. Continued evidence of his recep tion as a son. A ioy ful gathering is ordered. The family assembles at a feast table, and everything must express a Welcome home. V. 24. “Dead” to his father and to his own welfare. “Alive again.” Brought back to a sense of duty. “Lost.” "Found.” The same idea in other words. HELP IN TEACHING. The design of Jesus was to show the wicked spirit of the murmuring Pharisees by the contrast with the emotions of this loving father. Undoubtedly he meant to declare that this was a truthful representation of the heart of our heavenly Father, and no teach er should fail to exhibit and show by this most precious parable, the waiting, gracious love of God to the sinner. One may also find here much with which to illustrate the return of a sinner to his heavenly Father. Here the sinner is repre sented as restless under restraint, bent on gratfying himself, wandering from God, seeking pleasure in the gratification of his lower propensities, wretched and helpless. Then he becomes convinced of his condition as the result of sin, is penitent and humble. Determines to return, acts upon the deter mination, returns, receives a hearty wel come, is at home and amid a rejoicing com - pany.

CELERY’ has come into public notice within the last few years as a nervine, but scientific ex periments and experience have proved beyond a doubt that it controls nervous irritation and periodic nervous and sick headaches to a marked degree. Brown Squard says that Celery contains more nerve food than any other vegetable or substance found in nature Celery was first discovered and used as a nervine by French physicians about 186". But a combination of the EXTRACT OF CELERY’ AND CHAMOMILE, which has been but recbntly introduced to the profession and the public by Dr. C. W. Benson, has produced such marvelous re sults in curing nervousness and headaches, and especially nervous and sick headaches, neuralgia, paralysis, Indigestion and sleeplessness, that it has excited public attention and newspaper com ments, and many physlcans have tested the merits of this preparation with the best results, as quoted below from a few: WHAT PHYSICIANS SAY. “Dr. Benson’s preparation of Celery and Chamo mile for nervous diseases Is the most important addition made to the materia medica in the last Snarter of a century.”—Dr. J. W. J. Englar, of altimore. . , , “These Pills are invaluable in nervous diseases.’ —Dr. Hammond, of New York. “Dr. Benson’s Pills are worth their weight in gold in nervous and sick headache.”—Dr. A.
