BIBLE EXPLORATIONS.
We now come to the turning point in
life of Saul. Because of his diso
bedience in the matter which we are
now abotft to relate, God rejected him
as the King of Israel. The Lord told
Samuel to go to Saul and direct him to
gather his army together and go against
the Amalekites ana destroy them utter
ly, men, women, children and cattle, be
cause they had fought the Israelites
when they came out of Egypt. Saul
gathered together a large army and
fought the Amalekites, and destroyed
all the people, but spared their King
Agag and the best of the sheep and oxen,
S. and fallings and lambs.
As Saul was returning, Samuel went
-out to meet him, and he said to Samuel,
“Blessed be thou of the Lord, I have
performed the commandment of the
Lord." But Samuel said, what means
the bleating of the sh?ep and the lowing
of the oxen that I hear? Saul replied
that he had brought back the best of the
V sheep and oxen to sacrifice unto the
Lord. Samuel then told him to stop
and be would tell him what the L >rd
had said to him that night. Hethen went
on to tell Saul how when he was little in
Tils own sight, that the Lord bad an
notated him King over Israel, and that
now when God had sent him to utterly
destroy the Amalekites.he had disobeyed
the voice of God. And when Saul tried
to excuse himself by saying that the
people had brought back the sheep and
oxen to .sacrifice unto the Lord, Samuel
said, “to obey is better than sacrifice,
and to hearken than the fat o* rams,’
and because he had rejected the word of
the Lord, he would reject him from be
ing King. Saul seemed to be very sorry
and said to S imuel, “I have sinned,
and he asked Samuel to pardon him and
return with him, that he might worship
the Lord. Samuel at first refused to re
turn with him, and started off and as be
did so he rent or tore the skirt of his
mantle and said to Saul, “The Lord hath
rent the kingdom of Israel from thee
this day and hath given it to a neighbor
of thine, that is better than thou.”
Saul was greatly troubled and again
confessed bis sin, and begged Samuel to
honor him before the elders of the peo
ple and turn with him that he might
worship the Lord—so Samuel turned
with him and be worshiped the Lord.
Then Samuel ordered Agag, the King
of the Amalekites to be brought before
him, and he hewed him in pieces with
his sword, because he had slain helpless
women and children. Samuel then
went to Ramal and Saul to bis house at
Gibeah. And Samuel never came again
to see Saul until his death, but he grieved
for nim, because he had disobeyed the
Lord and was rejected from being King.
The Lord told- Samuel not to mourn
for Saul, that he had rejected him, and
he commanded him to till his horn with
oil and go to the house of Jesse, for he
had selected a King from among his
sons. Samuel was afraid to go because
he thought Saul would kill him, but the
Lord told him to go and take a heifer
with him and say that he had come to
sacrifice to the Lord. He then went to
Bethlehem and the elders of the town
asked him if he had come peaceably,and
he said, “peaceably.” He then told
them to sanctify themselves and come
to the sacrifice, and be sanctified J<-sse
and his sons and called them to the sacri
fice. Jesse made seven of his sons to
pass before Samuel, but he told him that
the Lord had not chosen any of them.
He asked Jesse if these were all of bis
sons, and he said the youngest was out
keeping the sheep. Samuel told him to
send for him, that they would not sit
down till he came. Jesse sent and
brought him before Samuel. His name
was David and he was beautiful in face
and form. The Lord told Samuel to
arise and noint him. Then Samuel
took the horn and nointed him in the
midst of his brethren, and the spirit of
the Lord came upon David from that
day forward.

ANSWERS FOR LAST WEEK’S ENIGMAS.
Ist Nehemiah—2nd Isaiah.
CORRESPONDENCE.
Dear Brother B. I earnestly hope you
will not discontinue the Explorations,
nor shorten them to give place to any of
“die wonders of nature.” I had very
much rather use all the space allowed us
in The Index for exploring the Bible
than anything else. I did not know until
I began studying the Explorations that
I knew so little of the Bible. I have
learned agreat deal since I commenced,
and it is a pleasure as well as profit to
me to study them, and I don’t know
how I could do without them now, were
you to discontinue. Since your visit,the
Sunday school, under the management
of our efficient Superintendent, Dr. G.
has greatly improved and much more
interest is manifested than before. May
God bless you in all your noble work is
my constant prayer to Him for you.
WHh Christian love,
Julia, M. S.
We are glad indeed to get another
cheering letter from Julia. Her excuse
for silence is a good one, of course. We
will go on with the Explorations for the
present. Brother J. P. H. has promised
a good amount of space every week. We
were so sorry not to meet father at Mon
roe. We feel sure that he had a good
reason for not coming out, we all missed
him.
Answers are all right and one enigma
goes in this week.
We have recently spent a pleasant
week in the Mulberry Association, work
ing with brother H. N. Rainey. We
preached four days and nights at Appa
lachee and parts of three daysatHebron,
where we heard a splendid dedicatory
sermon by Bro. C. D. Campbell, and
helped to organize a Sunday school in
the new and beautiful house of worship.
It is a real pleasure to be with so earnest
and warm-hearted a man as Bro. R. The
new meeting house is a monument to his
zeal and liberality. He has a number
of brethren at A. and H. that seem ready
to co operate with him and encourage
him by their sympathy. In another
place will be found a fuller account of
our visit to these places and of the Appa
lachee Sunday School Convention.

Lesson X. —Sept. 4,1881.
THE COMMANDMENTS.
Ex XX 12 217—8. C. 1491.
NOTES.
I. Duties to Parents. (V. 12.)
Upon which of tbe two tables God wrote
the Fifth Commandment, is not clear. It
has been aptly called, “a link between the
two.” It is a pivotal point, from which we
turn from Duties to God to Duties to our
fellow-men. For parents are superiors,
standing, in an important sense, in the place
of God, and representing Divine authority;
yet are but human, like their children. The
word honor is broad in significance, includ
ing reverence, love, obedience. The basis of
this duty is, that tbe parent is God's repres
entative. God calls himself by tbe title
Father, and says: ‘lf Ibe a Father, where
is my honor?” (Mai. i. 6.) While duties
which men owe to each other are called jus
tice, charity, couitesy, gratitude, etc., those
due to parents are, in most languages, com
prised under the title of Piety, implying
something Divine in them. Thy father and
thy mother. Murphy notes that both par
ents are mentioned as of equal authority.
The command v ill include those who stand
in tbe place of parents; and tbe underlying
principle extends to superiors, and all who
have rightful authority over us. This duty
ot honor to parents is enjoined in the New
Testament, also, and tbe limits as to obedi
ence defined. See Col. iii. 20; Eph. vi. 1. 2.
The obedience is to be "in the Lord.” No
parent should command obedience to wrong
things. Duties are reciprocal. The parent,
as representing the Divine Being to tbe child,
should have the Divine Spirit. See Eph. vi.
4; Col. iii 21. That thy days may be long.
"The first commandment with promisb.”
(Eph. vi. 2 ) A double promise, national
and individual. "So long as tbe nation re
joiced in the possession of obedient children,
it was assured of a long life, or existence in
the land of Canaan."—Keil. A universal
principle of national life, illustrated in the
history of Rome and of China, as well as of
tbe Jews. But emphasis may also be placed
upon Thy. "Honor the aged, that thy life
may be long ” —Todd. D.sobedience to par
ents leads to lawlessness of life which short
ens one's days. The sin carries retribution
with it.
11. Duties to Others. (V. 13 17.)
V. 13. Tbe Sixth Commandment is a de
claration of the sacredness of man, as made
"in the image of God,” (Gen. ix' 6). It puts
an inviolable guard around human life. Life
is a blessing from God's hand, given for de
velopment, mental and spiritual growth,
and preparation for the beyond. None have
a right to take away this gift but God, and
such as he may choose to exercise the right
as governments under proper restrictions.
There must be security of person, or society
cannot exist. This command forbids mur
der, suicide, brutal treatment of others, and
even angry feelings towards others, (Matt. v.
22), It includes dissipation, intemperance,
gluttony, or whatever vices or courses ol
conduct tend to shorten life; the putting of
the bottle to our neighbor's mouth, and all
tampering with human life in any form. The
commandment is exceeding broad.
V 14 The Seventh Commandment guards
marriage, and the sacredness of the family
relationship. Though the word adultery
primarily refers to the violation of the mar
riage contract, our Lord (Matt. v. 27, 28)
shows that the commandment includes in
its scope all sins against chastity, in deed,
word, or thought. Not only overt acts are
to be shunned, but also, whatever tends to
excite the passions, or an ur.clean desire.
The command prohibits impurity and im
modesty of dress, demeanor, or language in
conversation, jest, or song; looking at in
decent pictures, reading pernkrtous books
and ‘ flai-h" newspapers; receiving revenue
from property used for impure'purposee;
and whatever, in any way, tends »o gratify
the ' fleshly lusts which war against the
soul.”
W 15. The Eighth Commandment recog
nizes the right in man to hold property, and
protect it. It has, therefore, no sympathy
for Communism, which is in direct violation
of its underlying principle. The word steal
is of very wide application. It includes all
takii g of property of another without a fair
equivalent,—except in the case of gifts. The
desire to get "something for nothing,” is in
direct comflict with this command. The
prohibition of this commandment are tersely
nut by Dr. Todd : “1. The taking of any
thing belonging to another without bis
knowledge and consent. 2 The receiving
of stolen property. 3 Gambling in everv
form, and speculation, which is only another
name for gambling. 4. The taking of unfair
and excessive usury. 5. The payment of in\
sufficient wages. 6. The acceptance of pay
for which insufficient service has been ren
dered. 7. The sale of any article for more
than it is fairly worth. 8. The unjust taxas
tion. 9- Withholding taxes justly due. 10
Manufacture and utterance of counterfeit
money. 11. Issue of base coin, or an ii. flut
ed currency. 12 Concealment of property
from creditors. 13. Purchase or sale of pro
perty under false pretences. 14 Forging. 15.
Misuse of financial trusts.” It reaches dis
honest. dealings of all kinds.
V. 16. The Ninth Commandment forbids
lying, and exalts truth. It also recognizes
that a man's reputation is his property, as
well as his merchandize, and must not be
pilfered from him. It not only prohibits false
testimony in a court of justice, but all slan
der, backbiting, malicious words concerning
another, tattling, misrepresentations, half
truths and inuendoes meant to deceive, the
repeating of scandal, speaking e.il that we
do not know to be true, false statements of
any kind. It includes lying by acts, as well
as words; the dishonest arrangement of
goods; also, lies bv silence, when the truth
should be declared. In finite mischief is done
by silly go-sips and scandal mongers. God
is the God of truth. Christ calls himself "tbe
truth”; and his children must walk in tbe
truth.
V. 17. Tbe Tenth Commandment, like
the First, lays its prohibition directly upon
the heart, These two specially strike at the
source of sin; for "out of the heart proceed
evil thoughts," etc., (Mark vii 21 23). This
last commandment is most searching of all,
and shows how (he preceding ones are to be
interpreted. We are ready to condemn the
open crime ; but this seeks for the concealed
desire, and lays its ban upon tbe discontented,
murmuring spirit. Paul singles this com
mandment out (Rom. vii. 7) as that which
searched him and showed him himself. It
does not forbid a desire for more, for that
leads to all true and healthy progress; but
it forbids that spirit of dissatisfaction with
our lot which comes from comparing our
selves with those more favored; that longing
to secure what belongs to others, or can be
obtained only at an other's loss, or at the ex
pense of higher or better things; or is de
sired for selfish enjoyment, or for wrong
uses. This covetousness is opposed to tbe
"godliness with contentment, which is great
gain” (1 Tim. vi. 6).
111. The Presence of God. (V. 18 21.)
Tbe giving of the Law was attended by
grand demonstrations which attested the
presence of God. There were thunderings
and lightnings, and the voice of the trumpet,
etc., as in xix. 16 19; which when the people
saw they, in fear, removed, and stood afar
off. Their terror came not alone from the
awful manifestations, but from the search
ing nature of the law, and their consciouss
ness of sin. Instinctively they sought a
mediator in Moses, whom they besought to
be the medium of any further communica
tions from God. They feared also that, see
ing and hearing God, they could not live.
Bee Judg. vi. 22 To this fear Moses addres
sed himself, saying, Fear not. The law was
not for death, but for life. It wqs to reveal
and condemn their sin, that they might see
it, and understand their weakness, and seek
forgiveness and grace. Compare the stand
ing "afar off” of the people, with the ex
hortation of the Gospel Dispensation, to
“draw near in full assurance of faith (Heb.
x. 22) From The Baptist Teacher.
