Children’s Corner. Re». T. 0. BOYKIN, State 8. 8. Evangelist, Ed 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. v QUESTIONS. 1. How much ground was there upon which Jonathan and his armor-bearer slew the twenty Philistines? 2. Where were the watchmen of Saul when they saw “the multitude melt away ?” 3. Who did Saul command to bring the Ark of God ? 4. Did Jonathan sin in eating the hon ey ? 5. Do you think it was right for Saul to require the people not to eat? 6. Where, in .the Scripture is eating blood forbidden ? 7. Why did the people save the life of Jonathan ? TWO ENIGMAS BY ‘’LUTHER.” 1. A city where Christ raised a wid ow’s eon. > 2.

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 Sunday-School.

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 to be at his post again soon ] ” Rheumatic Diseases — These ailments fol low from torpid liver and costive bowels; the skin, bowels and kidneys failing in their proper work, an acrid poison is formed in the blood, which is the occasion ot these acute diseases.
