The Sunday-School. ZtUornaMonal Sunday-School Loooono. (Prepared specially for Thx Indkx by Bev. 8. H. Mlrick, of Washington, D.C.] Lesson IV.—July 24,1881. MOSES AND AARON. Ex. IV. 27 31. “1-4-B. C. 1491. INTRODUCTION. After answering the objections of Moses as in the last lesson, the Lord directed him to gather the elders of Israel and go with them to the king of Egypt. He is told to demand from the king permission for the Israelites to go three days' journey into the wilderness and theie offer sacrifice to Jehovah. Moses objects and is then endowed with power to work miracles. Still further objecting, Aaron, bis brother, is associated with him. Obtaining permission from Jethro, he starts with his wife and two sons for Egypt. On the way he is met by Aaron, and here our lesson begins. OUTLINE. I, The brothers meet, v. 27-28. ll' Received by the people, v. 29 31. 111. Refused by the king, v. 14. notes. I. The brothers meet. V. 27. “The Lord said to Aaron.” Accor ding to verse 14, the Lord had so moved on the mind of Aaron that he was on his way to meet Moses even before the latter started from Midian. “Go into the wilderness.” West of Midian. The Lord seems to have told him where he would meet bis brother. “Met him in the mount of God.” Sinai, and where God had appeared in the burning bush Seech. 3:l' Aaron was now eighty three years old and Moses eighty. See ch. 7:7. “Kissed him.” We have no record that they had met for forty years. The word implies a mutual greeting. V. 28. “And Moses told Aaron all the words of the Lord.” We may easily con ceive the scene. Moses, as he points to the bush in which he had seen the wonderful flame, tells the whole story to his brother, carefully repeating what God had said to him. He tells ofthe call,and of the objections which he had made and how God had re moved them. “And all the signs.” See verses 2to 9. So the two brothers, called by God to meet at Sinai, confer and wonder, and we may suppose, prayerfully and joy fully commend themselves to God as they enter upon their great work. 11. Received by the people. V. 29. “Went.” As the messengers of .God. “Gathered together all the elders." This they had been commanded to do. The elders or older men would naturally be selected as guides and counselors. There seems to be an indication here that there was some simple form of organization among the Israelites at this time. V. 30. “Aaron spake." According to the arrangement in verse 16, Aaron had lived constantly among the Israelites, while Moses had been an exile for forty years, and so ha now introduces the brother whom no diubt many remembered as the child who had been adopted by the Queen’s daughter. “Did the signs.’ Which had been given of God to secure the faith of the people of Israel in these leaders. Aaron was now not only spokesman, but miracle-worker. This he continued to be for some time. V. 31 "The people believed,” many of whom assembled probably with the elders- As the report of these miracles done in the presence of the elders went out among the people a general conviction arose in their minds that these men were sent of God to deliver them from their rigorous bondage. “Visited," in the persons of Moses and Aa ron. “Bowed their heads and worshiped.” Bent their bodies with their hoads toward the ground, expressive of humility and rev erence. “Worshiped.” Adored. Though so long in Egypt and even born there, they believed in the God of their lathers. As the report of the words and miracles of Aaron went from point to point in the land of Go shen, the pious Israelite bowed his head in gratitude before the unseen Jehovah, and so the scene where the elders stood was repeat ed over all the land. 111. Refused by the king. V. 1. “Afterward.” After they had been accepted by the people as God’s messengers. “Went in,” accompanied, no doubt, by the representatives of the people. Ch. 3:18. “Told Pharaoh.” The palace had been a familiar place to Moses, but now another king is reigning. “The Lord God of Israel.” Jehovah, God of Israel. Moses had been told to siy to Pharaoh that Israel was Jeho vah'sson. Ch. 4:22. “Let my people go.” A peremptory demand. “That they may hold a feast.” The immediate object only is mentioned. Pharaoh was neither to know God’s ulterior purpose, nor does he ask. As all nations were accustomed to hold festivals in honor of their gods, Pharaoh would un derstand this demand as one for permission to worship Jehovah. Such a demand was perfectly reasonable. The question natu rally arises, Were these servants of God simply pretending that they desired the release of their people for worship, while they intended a final escape from the land ? In answer to such a question, it is enough to say, that they were only doing as command ed and God had a right to make such a de mand as the one before us. Had Pharaoh yielded to this then God would have de manded more. Pharaoh need not be told of God’s final purpose. “In the wilderness.” Outside of Egypt. V. 2. “Who is the Lord (Jehovah) A reply full of contempt and bravado. He de. nied any knowledge of Jehovah or any obligation to him. “Neither will I let Israel go. ” A positive refusal. V. 3. “The God of the Hebrews.” This title the king would understand. “Hath met with us.” They give, doubtless, an ac count of the manner in which they had been sent. “Three days’journey.” A suf ficient distance to take them entirely out of Egypt and into the wilderness. ‘ Lest he fall on us with pestilence or with the sword.” This shows the necessity of their departure ’ in obedience to God’s command. Besides if Pharaoh withholds his permission he may still lose his slaves by a stroke from heaven. V. 4 He treats their demands with a haughty impatience. "Let.” Hinder. He looks upon them as preventing the building ofthe public treasure cities. "Get you to vour burdens.” Addressed to the elders of the people but including also Moses and Aaron. HINTS FOR TEACHING. The teacher should diligently study the whole story of the Exodus, reading carefully all the portions of the book between those of our lessons By repeated questions from Sabbath to Sabbath he should keep the whole story fresh in the minds of his pupils. Spec ially should be keep prominent the Provi dence of God in the life and work of Moses and in the emancipation of Israel. In the present lesson, bring out the scene in which Moses tells his brother what God had told him and then ask the scholars if there is not some one to whom they can tell the words ofthe Lord. Show distinctly the faith ofthe people in God’s messengers and ask if all believe Christ’s message of salva tion. Exhibit the stubbornness of Pharaoh and show how wicked it ia for us to refuse to obey God’s commands. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, JULY 21, 1881. Lesson V.—July 3J, 1881. MOSES AND THE MAGICIANS. Exodus VII. 847.—8. C. 1491. INTRODUCTION. The result of the demand made by Moses and Aaron upon Pharaoh, was an increase of the severity of the burden laid upon the Israelites. Toe king's officers were directed not to furnish the straw used in making bricks, but to compel the Israelites to gather it for themselves, and yet to make as many bricks as before. As they failed to make the same number, they were beaten, and some of them, making complaint to the king, were sent away with harsh words. As these men came back from the king, they met Moses and Aaron, and accused them of being the cause of their affliction. In great distress these leaders went to the Lord, who gave them assurance that the people should be delivered. They are sent to Pharaoh a sec ond time, and here our lesson begins. OUTLINE. I. The second demand, v. 8-13. 11. A plague threatened, v. 14-17. NOTES. I. The second demand. V. 8, 9. “Shew a miracle for you.” At the first demand made by Moses, no miracle had been wrought. He is now told that the king will require such a proof of their authority. A miracle was recognized as sufficient evi dence of a divine commission. While this requirement on the part of the king was a reasonable one, yet he made it with no dis position to be convinced, but rather as a challenge to them to do that which he be lieved impossible for them. “Then." An immediate answer should be given to his haughty words. “Take thy rod.” The wonderful shepherd's staff of Moses, which be carried when God commissions 1 him at the burning bush. Chapter 4:2 “It shall become a serpent." The word translated serpent here is not the one used in chapter 4:3. It is a more genera) term. Itissuppos ed by Murphy that the reference here is to the asp or basilisk, which was the emblem of royalty among the Egyptians. V. 10. "Went in.” Boldly and confident of success. “Did so, as the Lord had com manded.” All simple faith in God is accom panied and shown by obedience to the divine commands. “ Aaron cast down his rod” at the command of Moses and in answer to the demand of Pharaoh for proof of th< ir divine mission. V. 11. "The wise mei-." The learned class. “The sorcerers.” The word here probably means jugglers. To this class be longed James and Jambres, mentioned in 2 Tim. 38. “Magicians.” A term including both the others. “Did in like manner.’’ Whether this was a feat of legerdemain, or an actual miracle performed through the aid of evil spirits, it is idle to conjecture. “The Scripture does not care to determine whether a given work be done by natural or preter natural means. It grants merely that the thing in question has been done. It does not concern the sacred writer or his readers how the impression was made on the senses, but only that in fact it was made.”—Murphy. We may notice that these professional magi cians were of the priestly caste, and so rep resented the power of their gods. To Pha raoh, then, it was a contest between the Jehovah of the Israelites and the gods of Egypt. V. 12 “Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.” By this one act the magicians were dishonored, the sacred serpents were gone and the power of God demonstrated to be with Moses. V. 13. “He hardened Pharaoh’s heart.” The original here is the same as in verse 22, and should be translated as there, “Phara . oh’s heart was hardened.” It became firm, unyielding, refusing to be convinced even when Aaron’s rod swallowed the other. “As the Lord had said." He who is omniscient can easily predict the conduct of men. <ll. A plague threatened. V. 14. “He refuseth to let the people go.” Pharaoh has now not only refused to obey the demand made upon him at the first visit, but also continued to refuse, notwithstanding the evidence given in the second visit that Mo.es was acting under the authority of God. Now, a third time the man of God goes to the king, and this time to make a threat that any farther refusal on the part of Pharaoh will be visited with a terrible judgment, » V- 15. “ Get thee unto Pharaoh.” The obstinate king cannot escape God’s messen ger. He goes out in the morning from his palace to “the water,” that is, to the Nile, to offer his devotions to the river which was a favorite deity with the Egyptians. Besides this, a daily record of the rise of the river in the season of inundation (the time of our lesson), was kept under the immediate supervision of the king. When he arrives at “ the rivers’ brink ” he sees standing there this same Moses with his wonderful rod. V. 16. “The Lord God of the Hebrews has sent me unto you.” Words which fell on the ear of the monarch, but did not subdue his will. “ Let my people go.”- The third time this demand was made. “ Hitherto thou wouldest not hear.” He is thus re minded of his stubborn refusal, and by the same words warned that refusal must cease. V. 17. “I am the Lord." “Pharuoh is to know, at least experimentally, if not sub missively and penitently,” that Jehovah reigns. “They shall be turned to blood.” The rod was uplifted and the waters smitten in the very presence of Pharaoh, and the waters, whose deliciousness and healing efficacy were a national boast, became loath some to drink and a source of death to a 1 the fish therein. This was enough to show that the Nile was not a god. In the follow ing verses we learn that this change of water to blood extended throughout the whole land, and continued for seven days. When the change came in the waters, the still un yielding, obstinate king turned away from the river atid went into his house as impeni tent as ever. REMARKS. 1. What a picture this lession gives us cf the possible hardness of the human heart. 2. against God is not only wicked but useless. 3. Every time we refuse to obey what we know to be God’s commands, we make our hearts harder and our prospect of eternal life less. 4. Those who desire to sin can always find some excuse. 5. Mrs. M. G. Kennedy, in “ The Baptist Teacher,” gives the following illustration of the way, in which a sinner, sensible of a hard heart, may get rid of it. “ A minister was once talking with a man in an inquiry room. The man said, ‘My heart is so hard it seems as it it was chained, and I cannot come to Jesus.’ ‘Ah,’ said the minister, ‘Come along, chain and all;’ and he j ust came to Christ hard-hearted, chain and all, and Christ snapped the fetters and set him free right there.” “Out of work, and sick with my kidneys for years,” wrote Mr. Alexander Kerris, of Chenango Forks, N. Y., recently. He used Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. Now he says, "I cheerfully recommend it to all persons suffering in the same way." ‘ Plumer’s” New American Hotel, opposite Independence Hall, Philadelphia, is un equaled for thorough completeness, comfort, luxury, magnificent furniture and its low rates, $2.50 per day.

Habit. —Some one has been trying his hand on the word ‘habit,’ and he works it out thus: “Habit is hard to overcome. If you- take off the first let ter it does not change “a bit.” If you take off another you still have ‘a bit’ left. If you take off still another the whole of ‘it’ remains. You take off another, it .is not ‘t’ totally used up. All of whicli goes to show that if you wish to get rid of a habit you must throw it off altogether.” Ants.—Persons who are troubled with ants in their houses may get rid of them by rubbing the shelves with gum-camphor.

Brown Squard says that Celery contains more nerve food than any other vegetable or aubalance found In nature Celery was first discovered and used as a nervine by French physicians about 1867. But a combination of the EXTRACT OF CELERY AND CHAMOMILE, which has been but recently introduced to the profeaaion 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 end sleeplessness, that it has excited public attention ana 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.
