BIBLE EXPLORE HONS.
So Jonathan and his armorbearer
went and stood where the Pnilistines
could see them. The Philistines said,
see the Hebrews are coming out of the
holes, where they hid themselves. They
said to Jonathan, “Come up and we will
show thee something.” Then Jonathan
and his armor-bearer climbed over the
rocks on their hands and feet. When
they reached the camp they slew about
twenty men. At this time God made
the earth quake. The Philistines were
afraid and trembled. Saul knew noth
ing of all this. His watchmen looked
toward the camp of the Philistines, and
saw there was fighting, and told Saul
who numbered the people to see who
was missing. Jonathan and his armor
bearer were not there. Then Saul as
sembled all the people and went to the
battle. The Hebrews who had gone to
the Philistines turned and joined Saul’s
army. Also many of those who had
hid themselves in the mountains came
to help him. There was a great battle
and the Lord saved Israel.
However Israel was distressed that day
for Saul had forbidden any man to eat
any thing till evening. After a while
they came to a piece of woods where
there was honey dropping on the ground,
but none of the people tasted it, because
they feared the oath of Saul. Jonathan
did not know his father bad told the peo
ple to eat nothing, so he put the end of
his staff in some nmey-comb and put it
in his mouth. They smote the Philis
tines that day from Michmash to Ajalou,
and the people were very faint. Then
the people flew upon the spoil; killed
sheep, oxen and calves on the ground
and ate them with the blood. When
Saul was told how the people sinned in
eating blood, he told them to bring their
sheep and oxen to him and slay them.
They did so that nignt. Saul built an
altar unto the Lord for the first time in
his life. Then Saul said to the people,
let us go fight the Philistines till morn
ing and leave not a man of them. They
said they would do what he said. The
priest said let them ask God, and God
told them not that day. Saul called the
people together to find who h’d sinned
that day. When heknew tha J mathan
had eaten the honey, he would have
killed him but for the people.

ANSWERS FOR LAST WEEK’S ENIGMAS.
1 By M.—“ Love them that love me.”
2 By G. W. A. —“Blessed are the pure
in heart, for they shall see God.”
For fear that some of our younger ex
plorers may not fully understand Luther’s
Puzzle, we will say that, “Behead,”
means to take away the first letter and
“Syncopate,” to take out the middle let
ter. Therefore the first and middle let
ters are to be used in making up the an
swer.
CORRESPONDENCE.
We have received some words of en
couragement about our department—a
mother writes : “The children want me
to write you, and beg you to continue
your explorations. They have always
read them and enjoy them so much. I
guess they are more extensively read
than you know. I know of some who
read them that have never told you.”
A WELL WISHER.
Another correspondent writes : “When
The Index comes, the first thing I read
is the Bible Explorations.” Another
says: “I enjoy your explorations very
much.” Well, please write to us. Let
the children write to us hereafter at
the suggestion of a friend from Missis
sippi, we will sign the full names of the
children who write to us, unless they
tell us not to do so.
We are now in the Mulberry Associa
tion, where we have been helping broth
er Rainey in protracted meetings at Ap
palachee and Hebron. At the former
church we preached day and night to
attentive congregations for several days.
The people seem to appreciate our la
bors and have been very kind. Brother
Rainey is a most earnest and devoted
pastor, and is working hard to develop
his churches, and witbal is a most liberal
and warm hearted brother. We were
present yesterday (Aug. 7th) at the dedi
cation of Hebron church. The sermon
was preached by Brother C. D. Camp
bell, and was a masterly discourse. We
helped organize a Sunday school, which
we hope will be flourishing and peren
nial. Rev. J. C. Lovin was elected Su
perintendent. Our dear Brother E. L.
Wood will be a faithful helper. For the
most of the time, we have been the guest
of brother and sister Blakey,whose kind
ness will always be gratefully remember-
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: AUGUST 18, 1881.
I ed. Their house is one our “homes.”
I God bless them.
We have very pleasant memories of
the Western Sunday School Convention,
recently held at LaGrange. We were
most hospitably entertained by brother
J. 0. Pitts and wife. There '.we found
another “home” to which we have a
standing and cordial invitation. The
pastor is a dear friend of our boyhood
days, of whom his mother, one of the
best women we ever knew, said, “He
was alway an obedient son,” no wonder
that he is a useful and honored man.
We hope the new president, Rev. A. R.
Calls wav, will be able to do a grand work,
and we bespeak for him the hearty co
operation of all the brethren. We stand
ready to help him and the Vice Presi
dents wherever we have opportunity.
We shall spend the next two weeks in
Northwest Georgia, after giving two
days to the Appalachee Sunday School
Convention, which meets to-morrow,
the 9 h, at Monroe.
We have been pressed with invita
tions from all parts of the state, but we
must go to those places that live, what
we regard, as prior claims upon our time
and labor. In order to meet as many
engagements as possible, we are absent
from our family for nearly two months
Will not the brethren pray for us and
our work.

THE COMMANDMENTS.
Ex. XX 111 Z-B. C. 1491.
NOTES.
I. The One God, (13).
V. 1. Tne giving of the Law was attended
with circumstances of the roost appalling
solemnity. God, himself, appeared on the
acene, and spake. This was in a different
sense from that in which he after wards spoke
to the people by the mouths of the prophets.
It is not necessary to conceive of his taking
bodily form and < rgans for this purpose; as
without them, be could produce articulate
sounds for the ear. He spoke with a voice
like the thunder, and all the people beard,
(v- 18) Angels, too, had part in this pro
mulgation, (Dent, xxiii. 2; Acts vii 53; Heb.
ii. 2). God not only spoke these words, but
also “wrote them in two tables in stone"
(Deut. v. 22). and delivered them unto
Moses. All thtse words. Called the “Ten
Words,” or Decalogue; marked by wonder
ful simplicity and brevity, in sharp contrast
to the indefiniteness and verbiage of human
laws. The Moral Law, containing the fun
damental principles of religion and moraliiy,
and giving the sum of mini's duties to God,
and to his fellow-man.
V. 2. The second verse shows the obliga
tion to keep this av. According to Murphy
it is here seen to be tl ree fold. 1. He who
commands is Jehovah,—the Self existent,
the Creator, the absolute Author, and there 1 -
fore Governor of all persons and things. He
has a right to command ; and bis commands
are in accordance with the eternal principles
of right 2. “He >s thy God.” He has chosen
bis people, and they have acknowledged
him. 3- “He is the Redeemer. He brought
his people out of the house of bondage " This
is the great reason upon which God dwells
The redemption through Christ is the weighty
reason upon which our obligation to obedi
ence rests.
V. 3 The first oomuiat. dment declares (hat
there is but one God. It is opposed to the
polytheism of Egypt, and other nations. It
not only dethrones all other deities, and pro
nounces them nonentities, but declares that
Jehovah (the ms of the command) is God.
It sweeps away the worship of natural ob
jects. such as the stars, beasts, etc, to which
divine honors were paid in Egypt; the wor
ship of idols and ima es, to which the tribes
that inhabited Palestine were addicted; the
worship of spirits and demons, or of imagi
nary beings of whatever kind; and seats
Jehovah, alone, upon the throne of the uni
verse as Creator and Upholder of all things.
It not only forbids tbe worship of false gods,
but, by a necessary inference, commands the
worship of the true God. But a man's god
is that to which be supremely devotes him
self. It may be one's business, or family, or
money, or the world. This commandment
is exceeding broad. He may be as truly an
idolater who worships success, or gold, as he
who worships a rat, or the sun.
IL Tne Worship of God, (4 6).
V- 4. The first commandment tells us
whom to worship; the second reveals the
manner of worshipping him. It shows us
that God is a spirit. Any image which men
could form would but embody their concep
tions, and would, therefore, degrade the
idea of God. Furthermore, it would draw
away the worship of the heart from God, to
that which was made to represent him; thus
causing men to break tbe first command
ment. This is tbe invariable tendency of
images and pictures, used as aids to worship.
Tbe prohibition includes the making of
every kind of image or picture (likeness re
fers to paintings, as well as to sculpture) for
the purpose ot worship; but does not con
demn the imitative arts for ae-thetical use.
The commandment particularizes. In heaven
above, etc. .According to Wilkinson, “the
Egyptians had images of celestial, terrestrial
and aquatic objects of worship;” for they
worshipped the heavenly host, and birds;
bulls, dogs, cats, and rats; and crocodiles
and serpents.
V. 5. Thou shalt not bow down, etc.
Images,crosses, “blessed” relics, “holy water"
and ritualistic ceremonies, that are look
ed upon as aids to spirituality, minister to a
false sentiment, and are included in this
condemnation. There is to be no recognition
of false worship by any favoring gesture. It
is not a trifling thing for one in a Catholic
country to bow to the passing “host,” out of
respect to friends. God uses a strong term
to show his abhorrence of every form of
idolatry. He is a jealous God, who admits
of no rivalry in tbe affections and homage
of his people. The jealousy refers to the in
tensity of his feeling against idolatry; not,
of course, to such a passion which, in us,
has its root in selfishness and pride. But
his whole holy nature is in movement
against this great sin, and it excites his just
indignation. Visiting tbe iniquity of the
fathers upon thechildren. A reason fortheir
shunning idolatry is their Jove for their
children, upon whom, by the law of family
relation, the curse of their parent’s iniquities
falls. He who follows evil ways, or false
doctrines, entails moral, sometimes physical
calamities upon his children. A godless
father is apt to have a godless family; and
even through many generations, the wicked
ness of ancestor bears its evil fruit. Yet there
is tbe limit that sin is self destructive; and
a wicked race olten wears out in the course
of three or four generations.
V. 6. God visits iniquity unto the third
and fourth generation ; but hs shows mercy
unto thousands—that is, thousands of gen
erations. Far more congenial to his nature,
who is love, is the exercise of mercy than of
wrath. This is exemplified iu his long suf
fering towards Israel, in all their sad history;
and is seen in his grace toward us.
111. The name of God, (7).
The name of God stands for his nature,
and for himself. To take the name of God
in vain, is to trifle with him. whom it re
presents. Tnis third commandment refers
not only to perjury,—‘.hat is, the applying
ot the Great Name to uphold a falsehood,—
but also to all use of the name of God In a
light, profane, and irreverent manner: This
would include the use of God's name in
conjurations, or pretended magic, and in
swearing of every kind The spirit of the
command would forbid such exclamations
as are mere substitutes for oaths. Their name
is legion, and they are profanity in very
thin disguise. Also all jesting abi nt sacred
things ; all use of Bible phrases for tbe pur
pose of pointing a joke; irreverence in the
bouse ot God, and jocose references to the
ordinances of Christ. The tendency of the
day to turn every thing into a jest, receives
here a severe rebuke For the Lord does not
take man's airy view of such things. He will
not hold him guiltless that taketb bis name
in vain. The irreverent spirit underminee
faith in holy things. If God and his religion
are spoken ot lightlv, they take no deep hold
upon ihe heart. With such irreverent ones,
God himself will deal. He will not acquit
them,
IV The Sabbath, (8-11).
V 8. The fourth commandment sets apart
a seventh portion of our time for rest and
worship. The word Remember, apparently
(though not necessarily), implies a reference
to tbe Sabbath, as already instituted. See
Gen. ii. 2,3; Ex. xvi. 22 80. The Sabbaths
day. The rest day on which God rested from
all his work. Holy. Something more than
abstinence from seeular work is implied.
There is no holiness in idleness, rather than
in labor. Hence, the fitness of religious
worship and active beneficence upon that
day. The word holy sets it apart to religious
uses.
Vs. 9 11. Six days shalt thou labor. This
phrase seems to imply more than a permis
sion and to involve an obligation. But sixday s
are sufficient to secure bread for seven. Tbe
nature, and physical and spiritual well-being
of man, require the cessation of one day in
the week from usual toils The prohibition
of secular employment upon the Sabbath, is
specific and positive, the householder being
commanded to restrain, not only himself,
but all under his roof. The roots of this ins
stitution run back to the creation of all
things.
[Note. —Owing to the temporary illness of
Rev. S’ H. Mi rick, the editor of our Sunday-
School Department, tbe lessms for this and
next week have been compiled from other
sources. Brother Mirick is suffering from a
painful eruption on the right hand and nrm,
and is now at Saratoga Springs. He hopes
