Children’s Corner. C ........—..L Bev. T. 0. BOYKIN, State 8- 8. Evangelist, Ed 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. QUESTIONS. I.

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. The Sunday-School. International Sunday-School Leasont. 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. EDUCATIONAL.
