Children’s Corner. Rev. T. 0. BOYKIN, State 8. 8. Evangelist, Ed ••IS IT YOW’ There Is a child, a boy or girl— I’m sorry it is true— Who doesn't mind When spoken to: Is it you T It cau’t be you 1 v I know a child, a boy or girl— I'm loth to say I do— Who struck a little playmate child : I hope that wasn't you 1 I know a child, a boy or girl— I hope that such are few— Who told a lie; yes told a He I It cannot be 'twas you 1 There is a boy, I know a boy— I cannot lovo him though— Who robs the little oirdies nest: That bad boy can’t be you 1 A girl there is, a girl I know— And I could love her too, But that she is so proud and vain: That surely isn’t you! —Early Days. BITS OF ADVICE. HOW TO BEHAVE AT THE TABLE. “I wish my mother would never have company. A fellow can’t get enough to eat when people are staring at him.” As I was visiting Frank’s mother at the time, I thought this remark was rather personal. I suppose I blushed. At any rate, Frank at once added— “ Now, Aunt Majorie, I did not mean you when I said that, I meant stran gers, like ministers and gentlemen from out West, and young ladies.” “Oh,” said I, “I am very glad to be an exception, and to be assured that I do embarrass you. Really Frank it is an unfortunate thing to be so diffident that you cannot take a meal in com fort when guests are at the table. I suppose you do not enjoy going out to dine yourself 1” “No,” he said ; “I just hate it.” Perhaps one reason why boys and girls do not feel so comfortable, and so at ease as they might on special occa sions at the table, is because they do not take pains to be perfectly polite when there is no one present but the ordinary home folks. In the first place we owe it to ourselves always to look neat and nice at our own tables. No body should presume to sit down to a meal without making a proper toilet beforehand. Boys ought to be careful that their hair is brushed, their hands and faces clean, their nails free from stain and soil, and their collars and ties in order before they approach the table. A very few moments spent in this preparation will freshen them up, and give them the outward appearance of little gentlemen. I hope girls do not need to be cautioned thus. Then there are some things which good manners render necessary, but about which every one is not informed Os course you know that you are not to eat with your knife. Fifty years ago people frequently ate with their knives, and is quite possible that now and then you may see some old-fashion ed person doing so; but it is not cus tomary now, nor is it safe or conveni ent. When you send your plate for a second helping, or when it is about to be removed,you should leave your knife and fork side by side upon it. It is not polite to help yourself too generously to butter. Salt should be placed on the edge of the plate, never on the table cloth. Do not drink with a spoon in the cup, and never drain the very last drop. Bread should be buttered on the plate, and cut a bit at a time, and eaten in that way. Eating should go on quietly, and not hastily. Nothing is worse than to make a noise with the mouth while eating, and to swallow food with noticeable gulps. Do not think about yourself, and fancy that you are the object of attrac tion to your neighbors. Poor Frank’s unhappy state of mind was caused by his thinking too much about himself, as well as by a little uncertainty as to what were precisely the right things to be done.— Aunt Majorie Precept. A gentleman met a little girl hurry ing along one Sabbath morning. “Where are you going so fast, little girl ?” he asked. “I am going to Sabbath-school, sir,” she said. “What are you going io Sabbath school for ?” he asked. “Oh, to find Jesus,” said the girl. Yes, Jesus can be found in Sabbath school. He is certainly there. A lady in Springfield, Ohio, having ftn errand out, left her baby, just able to creep around the floor, in charge of her three-year-old-son. She instructed the latter to stay with the baby till she returned. She was gone only about fifteen minutes, and when she got back she found the infant tacked on the floor and the three-year old missing. During her absence he got two tacks and a hammer and tacked the baby’s dress to the floor, after which he went out to play> - - , Answers to Mythological Ques- TIOI js. —Neptune was the god of the seas, and Amphitrite was bis queen. As the god of the sea, he was always re presented carrying a three-pronged spear or trident, used by fishermen, and with dolphins and other sea anim als usually attending him. Minerva was the goddess of wisdom and justice. This goddess was always represented armed, and the serpent, owl, and olive tree were sacred to her. It is said that Neptune and Minerva contended for the right of naming the city of Athens and that the gods declared that it should bear the name of the one who THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER I, 1881. should produce what would be -most useful to mankind. Neptune struck the earth with his trident and forth sprang the horse. Minerva caused the olive to grow. The gods then decided in favor of the emblem of peace, and the city was called Athens from the name of the goddess Athena. The Sunday-School.

INTRODUCTION. After the giving of the law as in the last two lessons, the Lord gave to Moses for the people a code of civil laws as recorded in chapters 21 to 23. The people solemnly pledged themselves to keep both the ten commandments and the civil code. After this Moses went up into the mountain at the command of God, and remained there forty days and forty nights. Now occurred a wonderful sin on the part of the people. Im patient at the long-continued absence of Moses they persuade Aaron to make fur them a golden calf which they would worship notwithstanding their pledge neither to make nor to bow down to “any graven ims age." Coming down from the mountain on the fortieth day, Moses saw the calf and the people dancing around it. Our present les son tells us how the guilty idolaters were punished, and how Moses interceded for the people. , OUTLINE. I. Decision demanded, v. 26 27. 11. Idolaters slain, v. 28 29 111. Moses intercedes, v. 30-32. IV. Jehovah’s answer, v. 33 35. NOTES. I. Decision demanded. V. 26. “Moses,” feeling that the solemn covenant with God had been shamefully violated. “The gate of the camp.” The place of assembling for all public purposes. ‘On the Lord’s side.” Willing to follow God and not idols. “Come unto me." It is the sum mons of an indignant and earnest leader, who feels that a very great crime has been committed, “Sons of Levi.” Os the same tribe with Moses. “Gathered themselves.” Having a clearer conviction than others of the great sin. V. 27. “Thus saith the Lord God of Is rael,” whom they had so wickedly disobeyed. “In and out from gate to gate.” That is, throughout the whole camp, “Slay every man his brother.” No feelings of relation ship or affection were to interfere with their duty. No doubt many of the people disap proved of the idolatrous proceeding. Many others, who were indifferent, allowed them selves to be led by the few turbulent and discontented spirits. Both these classes would naturally shrink away to their tents conscience-stricken. Only those who were really bent on idol worship would be found in the pathways leading through the camp. These were those slain, 11. Idolaters slain. V. 28. “Did according to- the word of Moses.” Slew all they met, no matter who they were. “Three thousand.” Leaders in* idol worship. V. 29. We have in this verse the motive which impelled the children of Levi. “Con secrate yourselves.” Devote yourselves to the Lord’s work. ‘ Upon his son and upon his brother.” That is, against his nearest relative, if a rebellious idolator, slaying him as a consecration sacrifice. “A blessing.” Such a sacrifice would show a proper spirit and thus secure God’s blessing. The motive prompting this slaughter was loyalty to God. 111. Moses intercedes. V. 30 Moses was devoted to Israel as well as loyal to God. See Ch. 32:11 13. 'On the morrow." Righteous idignation first, after wards earnest desire that the people may re pent and be forgiven. “Ye have sinned a gnat sin- ’ All the guilty were not destroy ed, only the ring-leaders. Moses stated the enormity of their sin. “I will go up” into the mountain, “unto the Lord.” The Lord was angry with them, and they needed an intercessor. They had lost their faith in Moses (see 32:1), but he had not ceased to love them. “Peradventures,” perhaps, “make an atonement for your sin.” Secure God’s forgiveness. V. 31. This verse and the next contain his intercessory appeal to God, an appeal brief, but intensely earnest. "This people have sinned a great sin.” He confesses the enormity of their sin. V. 32. Yet now, if thou wilt forgive their sin.” An imperfeot sentence. In the in tensity of his desire, Moses leaves his sent ence unfinished, and thinks suddenly of the consequence should God not forgive. "If not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book.” He feels that his life would be unsupportable if his people were not forgiven. The I rael ites were familiar with the idea of keeping a register or a book of families. To be blotted out of Jehovah’s book would be to be cut off from among the people of God. God had said in verse 10 that he would destroy Israel and make of Moses a great people; but Moses did not wish to live if the people were destroyed. IV. Jehovah’s answer. V. 33. God replies that he who has sinned shall be blotted out from his book, and while not reproving the earnestness of Moses for the forgiveness of the people, gently re minds him that his alternative for himself is an unreasonable one. Each offender shall suffer for his own sin. V. 34. "Lead the people." Carry out your commission, “The place.” Canaan, the land of promise. “Mine angel.” Whose presence was shown in the cloud, and who had led them thus far. See Exod. 23; 20. “Shall go before thee.” As before the people had so grieviously sinned. "In the day when I visit.” When I come to punish. "I will visit their sin upon them.” That is, God foresaw that they would commit other sins, and declares that when he punished for others he would punish for this also. Punish ment was only postponed in their case, and its infliction would depend upon their fu ture conduct. See Num. 14 :28. V. 35. “Plagued the people.” We have no account of the nature of this plagues, but probably the the referehce is to after afflictions of disease and death. "They made the calf.” They caused it to be made by Aaron, and therefore were chargeable with making it. • REMARKS. 1. In times of unwonted sinfulness in a community the Christian is specially called upon to show himself on the Lord’s side. 2. They are on the Lord’s side who promptly obey his commands. 3. Sin, unforgiven, will be followed by punishment. 4 Every sinner must bear his own guilt. 5 There is one intercessor, even Christ Jesus, ever ready to plead our cause. 6. We may make an idol of money, dress, pleasure, business, but all idolatry is a terrible sin. 7. Terrible must be the condition of him, all whose accumul ated sins God at last visits with their penalty. It is possible that a remedy made of such common, simple plants as Hops, Buchu, Mandrake, Dandelion, &c„ make so many and such marvelous and wonderful cures as Hop Bitters do? It must be, for when old and young, rich and poor. Pastor and Doc tor, Lawyer and Editor, all testify to having been cured by them, we must believe and doubt no longer. See other column.—Post “All Gone.”-“I cannot understand,” said a little boy, “what becomes of our sins when God takes them away." “When you do a sum, Willie, and take the sponge and wipe your slate, what becomes of the figures?” “Oh, I see now,” he said, “they are all gone.” And so God says He will blot out our transgressions, and will not remem* ber our sins.
