Children’s Corner. R«t. T. 0. BOYKIN, State S. 8. Evangelist, Ed BIBLE EXPLORA2IONS. We began last week the talk that Sam uel made to the people after their great victory; we will now finish telling what he said. He told the people to stand and see what God would do before their eyes. It was the time of year when the wheat was ripe, when they had no rain. Sam uel said he would call on God to send a great storm of thunder and rain to show them how thev had displeased Him. So Samuel prayed to God, and the thunder and rain came. The people were much afraid and begged Samuel to pray for them that they might live. Then Sam uel spoke to them kindly and said, “fear not, you have done wrong, but do not quit following the Lord, serve Him with all your heart. He will not forsake you, for you are his own people. I will keep on praying for you, and will teach you to do good and right. Think of the great things God has done for you, and serve Him faithfully with your heart. But if you still do wickedly, you shall be des stroyed and your king with you.’’ When Saul had been king two years he selected three thousand men to be his special soldiers. He himself was captain over two thousand, and his son Jonathan was captain over one thousand. In the mean time some Philistines had gone into the Land of Israel. Jonathan smote them—that is, fought them. When the Philistines heard it, they came up with a great army, thousands of chariots and horses, and so many people that they could not be counted. The. Israel ites were greatly frightened and hid them selves in caves, thickets, rocks and pits, and some went over the river Jordan. Saul was still in Gilgal, and.the people who were with him trembled. Saul waited there some days, because Samuel had promised to meet him there to offer burnt offerings and peace ofierlngs ? and tell Saul what to do. Our young friends must ask their parents to tell them about these offerings. QUESTIONS. 1. Why did the thunder and rain frigh ten the people ? 2. Where was Saul’s place of resid ence? 3. Where did Jonathan smite the Phil istines ? 4. Where did the Philistines camp with their army? 5. To what places did they go over the Jordan? 6.

Sub tract the years of the Babylonish captiv ity. Add the number of furlongs be tween Bethany and Jerusalem. Add the age that the Psalmist said is generally the limit of the life of man in thia world. Multiply the number of Jacob’s eons by the years in which Solomon was building the temple, and subtract from the above Product. Add the years in which the sraelites were, for their sins, obliged to wander in the wilderness. Subtract one from this, and we have the number of chapters in the New Testament. , ANSWERS FOR LAST WEEK. By J. —Top line, Corinth; bottom line, Iri; perpendicular line, Issachar. By M.—Jesus. By S.

The representation was not full nor the audiences large,but the services were pleasant, and we hope good was done. Several of our highly esteemed ministers were at Marietta, and we enjoyed their sermons and talks very much. The same officers were re-elected with the addition of several new Vice-Presidents. At Zion the ministers failed to come, as nearly all were engaged in protracted meetings, but we had an excellent help from several good laymen. We are now filling some appointments in the Stone Mountain Association, made by our good brother Brittain. We have had a most delightful meeting to-day—July 25th— at Macedonia. These Explorations are written at the home of brother J. T. Corley where we are always cordially welcomed and kind ly entertained. THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, AUGUST 4, 1881. Next week we hope to commence a series of short articles for the children on some of the wonderful things of na ture. They will be prepared by “W”, a lady who loves the young and is greatly interested in our columns. The Sunday-School; International Sunday-School Lessons. [Prepared specially for The Index by Rev. S. H. Mlrick, of Washington, D.C.] Lesson VII. —August 14,1881. THE RED SEA. Ex. XIV. 19*2L—B. C. 1491. INTRODUCTION. At midnight the first-born in every Egyp tian house was slain. So greatly terrified were Pharaoh and the people that they unit ed in urging the Israelites to depart. So they went out six hundred thousand men besides women and children. Before them went the Lord in a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night Led by the cloud they encamped by the Red Sea. Having recover ed from his fright, Pharaoh pursued them with an army and overtook them by the Sea. Here the Lord wrought the great de liverance which is the subject of our present lesson. OUTLINE. I. The Israelites protected, w 19, 20. 11. The Israelites delivered, v. 21, 22. 111. The Egyptians dismayed, v. 23 25. IV. The Egyptians destroyed, v. 26 27. NOTES. I- The Israelites protected. V. 19 "The angel of God." Called Jeho vah in Ch. 13:21. "The oamp of Israel.” We suppose the six hundred thousand men are here specially referred to. The women and children looked after the flocks. "The pil lar of the cloud.” A cloud extending high into the air. By the movement of this cloud the Israelites were guided in their journeys. When the cloud descended to the earth the people rested on their march, and moved on when it was taken up again. This cloud was but the symbol of the invisible but present Jehovah. "Stood behind them.” Probably widened so as to cover the whole host of Is rael. V. 20. “The camp of the Egyptians-” The host ot Egyptians. The expression does not necessarily imply that they were really en camped as the same expression is used ot them when on the march. See v. 24. “To them.” The Egyptians. “To these.” The Israelites. "The one came not near the other.” The Israelites, who were on foot, had abundance of light, while the Egyp tians, who were chiefly cavalry, were hinder in tbeir movements by the darkness. Other wise the pursuit might have been but a short one. 11. The Israelites delivered. V. 21. “His hand,” in which was the rod, v. 16. Nothing is said here of Aaron. The influence of Moses with the people had been somewhat imperilled by tbedaugerin which they found themselves, and the opening of the waters at the uplifting of his rod tended to restore it. “Caused the sea to go.” Drove the sea. "By a strong east wind.” A natural means used to effect a miraculous result. "All that night.” The continuance of the wind increased its efficiency. A passage was not only made, but also kept open by this wind. ‘,Dry land.” The original word refers merely to land as distinguished from water and not to dryness. A more correct trans lation is bare ground. "Were divided.” A portion of the waters were driven souths ward, and a portion northward. Evidently the account here implies a supernatural agency The waters are divided; they are a wall on either side; they open at precisely the right moment for the escape of the Is raelites ; they remain open long enough for two and half a millions, and their cattle, to cross* V. 22 “A wall for them.” It is the defence which the waters on either side afforded that is referred to in the word "wall,” rather than their upright position. 11l “The Egyptians dismayed ” V. 23. “The Egyptians pursued.” Pres sed on after them scarcely seeing where they were going except that they were following after the Israelites, because of the pillar of cloud before them. The Israelites had light and doubtless crossed as rapidly as they could, hindered as they were by their cattle. The Egyptians in the darkness of night, and •with the added darkness of the cloud, must have gone carefully and slowly over the strange sea bottom. "Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.” The cavalry entered the sea first, while the infantry fol ia wed. See v-28. V. 24. “In the morning watch.” Before the captivity the Israelites divided the night into three watches. The Israelites had bad therefore two watches or eight hours for ef ficting their passage. We may reasonably suppose that the time referred to here is about day-break or about 5 o'clock. “Look ed.” Jamidon says, "We suppose the fact to have been that the side of the pillar of cloud toward the Egyptians was suddenly and for a few moments illuminated by a blaze of light, which coming as it were in a reful gent flash upon the dense darkness which had preceded so frightened the horses of the pursuers that they rushed confusedly to gether, and became unmanageable." V. 25. "Took off their chariot-wheels.” This would easily occur, as the Egyptians in the panic drove upon each other. “Let us flee from the face of Israel.” A universal panic. “The Lord (Jehovah) fighteth for them.” They recall the wonderful events of the few preceding weeks, and an irresistible convic tion breaks upon their minds that Jehovah fights against them. IV. "The Egyptians destroyed.” V- 26. "Stretch out thy hand over the sea.” The Israelites were no iv safe on the other side, and their enemies are to be destroyed. “That the waters may come again.” The waters which had been in the control of the unseen hand soon returned to their wonted level. V. 27. “Returned to his strength,” that. is, to its usual place and depth. “Fled against it. As they turned back to the shore which they had left, they would meet the waters rushing upon them. “Overthrew the Egyp tians.” “A mild message, a manifest sign from Heaven, only exasperated the pride of Pharaoh, Ten awful plagues failed to subdue the obstinacy of bis heait. A final Judgment of terrific sublimity, terminates his career of presumption.” Murphy. REMARKS. God’s people may always trust him. All the agencies of nature are in the hands of Our Father and be can defend us from our enemies. If we go forward at God’s com mand, God will give us light to see our way clearly. One look of Jesus will bring terror to the impenitent soul in the last great day. Not one soul that rejects Christ will escape eternal death. Not one soul that obeys the gospel will ever be lost. Adped Note —The place of crossing which answers best to the description in the Scrip ture account is at the base of Jebe Attakan, where the channel is six or seven miles across. If the Israelites formed a column, a quarter of a mile wide and a mile long, they could have crossed in six hours. If ycu feel despondent and weary of life, do not give up; it is not trouble that causes such feelings, but disordered kidneys or liver, which T\ arner’s Ease Kidney and Liver Cure will invigorate, restore, and thus bring you happiness once more.
