Bev. T. 0. BOYKIN, Stet. 8.8. Evangelist, Ed
BIBLE EXPLORAUONS.
Saul got tired of waiting for Samuel at
Gilgal, so he offered the burnt offering
himself. As soon as he had done so,
Samuel came and said, ,'Wbat bast thou
done?” Saul tried to excuse himself by
saying, the people bad left him, and
Samuel did not come when be said he
would, so he was afraid to wait any lon
ger, for fear the Philistines would come
before him. Samuel told him, he had
done foolishly, that, if he had obeyed
the Lord, He would not take from him
kingdom over Israel, but let his son to
be king, and then his son’s sons, and so
on forever. But now Saul had done
and God had chosen for him a man
“after His own heart’’ to be king. Saul
had disobeyed, he must be punished. So
when we disobey God, He will punish
us; some time and in some way.
After these things Saul numbered his
army and went with Jonathan to a city
near the camp of the Philistines, who
came out in three companies. When
they went out to battle none of the Is
raelites had a sword or spear, excej t Saul
and Jonathan; because,for a long time,the
Philistines had made the Israeli es their
servants and had not allowed them to
have swords or spears.
In those days soldiers wore armor,
made of iron and brass, and carried a
shield to hold before them, so that the
arrows of the enemy could not hurt them
Jonathan had these, and a soldier went
by his side to carry them when he did
not want the use of them. This soldier
was called an armor-bearer. One day
Jonathan asked his armor bearer to go
with him'to the camp of the Philistines.
He said, God could give the victory to a
few as well as many. Jonathan said, they
would go where the Philistines could see
them, and if they told them to wait,
they would not go any further, but if
they said, “Come up to us,” they would
go; and would know from that sign that
the Lord would give them the victory.
The armor-bearer said, he would go. So
they went.

“Dear Bro. B.—During your visit here
you offered a chromo to all the children
who would commit to memory certain
portions of Scripture. My two little girls
Benona and Idonia have done so and ie
cited the same to their 8.8. teacher and
they request me to tell you of it. They
also say, put them down as members of
your Exploration band. They delight
very much to read the Explorations and
try to understand the enigmas, etc. My
children always remember with a great
deal of pleasure your visits to this place
and join me tn saying, that we wish they

Moor two days and rejoiced to see such
a good state of feeling at Salem. He has

Lesson VIII. —August 21, 1881.
THE MANNA.
Ex. XVI. C. 1491.
INTRODUCTION.
The Israelites, having crossed the Red Sea
from Africa into Asia, and having seen the
dead bodies of their Egyptian enemies swept
by the angry waves upon the beach, sang
that wonderful song of praise recorded in
chapter 15. From this triumphant scene
they went into the wilderness of Shur and
for three davs found no water. Coming to
Marah and finding a fountain of bitter water,
they murmured against Moses. The Lord
made the water sweet for them. A day later
they rested at Elim amid refreshing springs
and shady palms. Here our lesson begins.
OUTLINE.
I. The murmuring people, v. 1-3.
11. The promised supply, v. 4 8.
NOTES.
V. 1. “From Elim,” where they had re
mained several days. "All tbecongregation.”
This refers especially to the six hundred
thousand mentioned in chanter 12:87. It
was a general movement. “The wilderness
of Sin.” Extending along the eastern side
of the Gulf of Bu<z. "Between Elim and
Sinai,” but not extending from the one to
the other. "The fifteenth day of the second
month.” One month after leaving Egypt.
Chapter 12:18
V. 2. "The whole congregation.” The feel
ing pervaded all classes. “ Murmured.”
Sullenly complained. They murmur as
though no wonderful deliverance had been
given them at the Red Sea. no water sweet
ened at Marah, and no wells found at Elim.
So we are apt to murmur when new trouble
comes, forgetting past blessings. They bad
now traveled about one hundred miles, and
the supplies brought from Egypt were ex
hausted. It seemed as though they must
starve in the wilderness. Where is their
faith in Him who had delivered them from
Egypt? Instead of murmuring, they should
have prayed. "Against Moses and Aaron.”
Really, against God.
V. 3. "By the hand of the Lord.” By
some act like that which slew the first born.
"In the land of Egypt.” What an amount
of wicked unbelief is here implied! "When
we sat by the flesh-pots.” Had plenty of
food. The flesh-pots were three-legged ves
sels made of bronze. In them the food was
cooked, and out of them the lower classes
ate their food. For this reason they “sat by”
them. “To kill this whole assembly.” A
monstrous charge. So far did these men go
even when so recently they had had such
wonderful proofs of God's care for them.
11. The promised supply.
V. 4. "Then said the Lord unto Moses.”
Still he patiently bears with them, and with
long Buttering, promises to supply their hun
ger though they ask him not. "I will rain
bread from heaven for you.” A great con
trast between this and the destruction of the
harvest in Egypt by the hail and the locust.
The language intimates an abundant and
supernatural supply. “The people shall go
out and gather.” They wereto accept God’s
provision. So we are to accept the salvation
provided in Christ. “Every day.” Their
daily bread. "That I may prove them."
Enough only for one day’s supply being
furnished each morning was a trial of their
faith as it obliged them to trust God for the
morrow. “ Whether they will walk in my
law or no.” Faith is the root of obedience.
This is God’s law that men should obey him,
trusting his power and willingness to supply
their needs.
V. 5. ‘Ou the sixth day." Because this
day preceded the Sabbath. See v. 23. Ab
the keeping of the Sabbath had not yet been
commanded on Sinai, this injunction shows
that the day was already observed, and that
it was probably instituted in the beginning.
Notice, too, that when the command was
given, it was "Remember the Sabbath day.”
"Shall prepare.” Founder grind (Num. 11:
8), and cook (verse 23).
V. 6. “At even." Literally, between the
evenings, that is, at twilight. "Ye shall
know.” Proof shall be given. Tbiswasthe
coming of the quails which, that very even
ing, covered thecamp. “That the Lord hath
brought you out.” That is, the provision
thus furnished them should convince them
that in leaving Egypt they had followed the
direction of Jehovah.
V. 7. “The glory of the Lord." The mani
festation of his presence in the manna which
should be found lying on the ground. “For
that he hearetb.” The reason for the Lord's
action. “ What are we,” etc. Why should
you murmur against us; we are only the
Lord’s mes engers.
V. 8, “ Explanatory of what is meant in
verses 6 and 7.
Before the Lord fulfilled these promises,
he displayed himself in the pillar of cloud
and fire (see verse 10), that the people might
know who supplied them. Bis provision
for them was quails for flesh and manna for
bread.
As the manna is the food to which our
lesson particularly refers, we subjoin some
account of it. According to the latest view,
of Oriental scholars, the word is an Egyptian
one. “ Man-hut” means white manna. It
was the juice of a species of tamarisk tree,
which exuded from the trunk and branches
in hot weather and formed small round
grain. Its taste was sweet, with a slight
aromatic flavor. In coel weather it pre
serves its consistency; in hot weather it
melts rapidly. It was an item of Egyptian
commerce, and therefore the Israelites were
acquainted with it while in Egypt. When
the Lord first rained bread from heaven in
the wilderness, the Israelites, struck with
the resemblance, gave it the name of the
substance with which they had been so well
acquainted in Egypt.
The difference between the manna of the
Israelites and the white manna of Egyptian
commerce are very great.
1. The manna of the Exodus was not
gathered from or under the tamarisk tree,
but from the surface of the ground in the
wilderness.
2. The quantity gathered in a single day
far exceeded the annual product of the pres
ent day (six or seven hundred pounds),
which was probably the product in the days
of Moses.
3. It was found six days in succession, and
then ceased for one.
4 It was found the year round. The
common manna was used as medicine or as
I honey with bread, while this could be ground
I and baked like meal.
5 It would putrefy when preserved beyond
a specified time.
6. It was found by the Israelites far outside
the district where it is now produced.
REMARKS.
1. How easily even Christians can find
cause for murmuring when their hearts are
not right.
2. How patiently God bears with his peo
pie.
3 If God undertakes to bring us to heaven,
he will not suffer us to perish by the way.
4. We may find m Christ both the water
of life and the bread of life.
5. Daily wants are met with daily sup
plies.
6. We cannot live to day on the experi
ence of yesterday.
7 God will at last bring those who rely on
him to the eternal abundance of heaven.
