Children’s Corner. 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. QUESTIONS. 1. Why was it wrong for Saul to oftsr the burnt offerings? 2. Where did Saul go from Gilgal? 3. How many people were with him? 4.

The following is from a Christian mo ther. We would be glad to receive many such letters. “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 could be more frequent, I certainly think much good is thereby accomplished. Please, remember me and mine at the throne of grace. My greatest desire is that my children may love and work for Jerne. Respectfully, yours b. 1. x>. We thank you for this kind letter and gladly enroll the girls in our band. Tne chromos have been sent. We wilt try to remember the request made. To M.—We have sent the obituary again to the office, knd hope it will ap pear very soon. Thanks for recent favors. To Julia.—What is the matter? The Bible is subject to your order. We bad a good time in the Stone Mountain Association. Greatly enjoyed ourself with brethren Brittain and Moor, THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST : THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1881. at Macedonia and Salem. Sorry brother B. did not feel encouraged to continue the meeting. We remained with brother Moor two days and rejoiced to see such a good state of feeling at Salem. He has fine field for work, and we feel sure that with the full cooperation of the brethren much will be accomplished for the Mas ter. We know brother M. to be an ear nest and faithful preacher, and from what we saw of the zeal of his brethren we shall look for glorious results. We beg them to be faithful to the Sunday school. “The promised articles from W.” are delayed on account of indisposition. We trust they will soon appear. We are nearly out of enigmas and ask correspondents to send more. The Sunday-School. International Sunday-School Lessons. [Prepared specially for Thu Index by Rev. 8. H. Mlrick, of Washington, D.C.] 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. EDUCATIONAL.
