Children’s Corner. Rev. T. 0. BOYKIN, Bute 8.8. Evmgelht, Ed a LITTLE BOY’S LETTEB TO JESUS. A postman stood with puzzled brow. And In bls hand turned o'er and o’er A letter with the address so strange As he had never seen before— The writing cramped, the letters small, And by a boy’s rough hand engraven : The words ran thus : “To Jesus Christ,’ And underneath Inscribed, “In Heaven. The postman paused; full well he knew No mall on earth this note could take; And yet ’twas writ In childish faith, And posted for the dear Lord’s sake. With careful hand he broke the seal, And reverently the letter read ; Twas short, and very simple, too, For this was all the writer said: “ My Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, I’ve lately lost my father dear; Mother Is very, very poor, And life to her Is sad and drear; Yet thou hast promised In thy word That none can ever ask In vain, For what they need In earthly store. If only asked In Jesus’ name. “ So I am writing In his name To ask th.t thou wilt kindly send Some money down—what thou canst spare, And what Is right for us to spend. I want so much to go to school I While lather lived I always went; But he had little, Lord, to leave, And what he left Is almost spent. “ I do not know how long ’twill be Ere this can reach the golden gate; But I will try and patient be, And for the answer gladly wait.' The tidings reached that far off land, Although the letter did not go, And straight the King an angel sent To help the little boy below. Oft to his mother he would say “ I knew the Lord would answer make When he had read my letter through Which I had sent for Jesus' sake.” Ah I happy boy, could you but teach My heart to trust my Father’s love. And to believe, where aught’s denied, ’lls only done my tai th to ptove I FIVE CENTS. “Well, my boy,” said John’s em ployer, holding out his hand for the change, “did you get what I sent you for?” “Yes, sir,” said John; “and here is the change, but I don’t understand it. The lemons cost twenty-eight cents, and there ought *o be twenty-two cents change, and there are.only seventeen.” “Perhaps I made a mistake in giving you the money?” “No, sir; I counted it over in the hall to be sure it was all right.” “Then perhaps the clerk made a mis take in giving you the change?” But John shook his head. “No, sir, I counted that too. Father said we must always count our change before we leave a store.” “Then how in the world do you ac count for the missing five cents? How do you expect me to believe such a queer story as that?” John’s cheeks were red, but his voice was firm: “I don’t account for it, sir; I cant. All that I know is that it is so.” “Well, it is worth a good deal in this world to be sure of that. How do you account for that five-cent piece that is hiding inside your coat-sleeve?” John looked down quickly, and caught the gleaming bit with a little cry of pleasure. “Here you are 1” he said. “Now it is all right. I could not imagine what had become of that five-cent piece. I knew I had it when I started from the store.” “There are two or three little things that I know now,” Mr. Brown said, with a satified air. “I know you have been taught to count your money in comtng and going, and s to tell the ex act truth, whether it sounds well or no t —three important things in an er rand boy. I think I will try you, young man, without looking farther.” At this John’s cheeks grew redder than ever. He looked down and up, and finally sa>d, in a low voice: “I think I ought to tell you that I wanted the place so badly I almost made up my mind to say nothing about the change, if you didn’t ask me.” “Exactly,” said Mr. Brown; and “if you had done it, you would have lost the situation ; that’s all. I need a boy about me who can be honest over five cents, whether he is asked questions or not.” — The Pansy. SAYINGS OF CHILDREN. The Congregationalist recently offer ed three prizes for the brightest sayings of children, that should be sent to it. We print below the sayings which won the prizes: FIRST PRIZE. “Will you be good?” asked a mother as she held a refractory four-year-old over her knee. “I can’t think while I’m this way,” was the reply. “Let me go, and I can tell.” SECOND PRIZE. Grandmother says to Daisy, four years old, on retiring: “Now Daisy may say, ‘Jesus, tender Shepherd, hear me.’” “I can’t, grandma.” “Yes, say your prayers now, and then go right to sleep.” “But I can’t,” she says again. The grandmother, amazed at this unusual freak of the child, speaks in a more decided tone. “Well, grandma,” says Daisy, “I’ve asked the Lord to please excuse me from saying my prayers to-night, I’se so tired; and now I’m in a pretty fix! What’ll God think of me?” THIRD PRIZE. Madie, two years and two months old, was asked : “Who was the Father of his country?” Her astonishing re ply was: “Joseph' Cook.” The sayings of our little niece, six years old, who is just recovering from typhoid fever, will, we think, come in this same category: The old cook came into the room with this saluta tion : “ How is you this morning, honey? Is you mending?” “Yes, Aunt Debby, I am sewing up the holes very fast.”—[Dd. Household.] THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1881. Lending a Pie.—“ Mother,” said [ Johnny, “haven’t you a pie that you would like to lend to the Lord?” “Why, Johnny, what do you mean?’ she asked; for she thought at first it was a joke. “Don’t you remember,” said he,“that the Bible says, ‘He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord?’ I don’t believe old Betsy has had a pie for a long time; I thought perhaps you would like to have me take one to her; then you would be lending to the Lord, you know.” One of mother’s best pies went to old Betsy ; only she was sorry she had not thought of sending one before. But if she had, she would have lost Johnny’s way of “putting it.” — Moravian. Playing Like a Christian.—l heard of two little children, a boy and a girl, who used to play a great deal together. They both became converted. One day the boy came to his mother and said: “Mother, I know that Emma is a Chris tian.” “What makes you think so, my child?” “Because, mother, she plays like a Christian.” “Plays like a Christian?” said the mother; the expression sounded a little odd. “Yes,” replied the child; “if you take everything she’s got, she don’t get angry. Before, she was selfish ; and if she didn’t have everything her own way, she would say, ‘I won’t play with you ; you are an ugly little boy.’ ” Highway and Hedges.—“l can’t give lots of money, and I can’t sew cloaks and gowns for poor children because I’m not rich enough or big enough, mamma. But I’ll tell you what I can do; I can ‘highway and hedge ’em!” said a bright little girl on her return from a child’s sermon. “What is that, my dear?” asked her mother. “Why, it’s coaxing poor children and naughty children into Sunday-school. I can’t ’splain it to you, but I know how, for the superintendent told us. And I’m going to do it!” What can you do to bring the chil dren into the Sunday-school? “Don’t know half their Value.”— “They cured me of Ague, Biliousness and Kidney Complaint,, as recommend ed. I had a half bottle left which I used for my two little girls, who the doctors and neighbors said could not be cured. I would have lost both of them one night if 1 had not given them Hop Bitters. They did them so much good I continued their use until they were cured. That is why I say you do not know half the value of Hop Bit bers, and do not recommend them high enough.”—B., Rochester, N. Y.

XVI. 16 30.—8. C. 1490. INTRODUCTION. All the rites and ceremonies prescribed to the Israelites were designed to show them their separation from God by sin, and the one way of salvation. The daily sacrifices which burned morning and evening on the great brazen altar in the court, constantly reminded them that by sin they had forfeited life, and that only by the substitate of an other life could they find favor with God. There was one day of greater solemnity than any other in the year, the tenth day of the seventh month, which was called “a day of atonement.” In it the nigh priest made atonement for himself, his house, and all the people, by sprinkling the mercy seat with blood. In the chapter, a portion of which forms our lesson, we have an account of the manner of observing the day. In verses 3 to 10, an outline of the whole cere monial is given, while in the rest of the chapter certain points are mentioned with more detail. Read Ex. 30:10, Lev. 23:27-32, and Num. 29.7-11. Read also very carefully the first fifteen verses of this chapter. At the beginning of ou' lesson, the high priest is in the holy of holies. OUTLINE. I. The atoning blood, v. 16-19. 11. The burdened scapegoat, v. 20 22. 111. The cleansed sinners, v. 23 30. NOTES. I. The atoning blood. V. 16. “An atonement.” The Hebrew word means a covering, implying that sin is covered or hidden so that it no longer sepa rates between God and the sinner. The atonement consisted in the sprinkling or pouring of the blood of the offerings. •* For the holy place.” No place on earth is so holy as not to need the blood of the atonement. “ Because of the uncleanness.” Ceremonial uncleanness. “Because of their transgres sions.” Sins against the moral law. “That remained! among them,” because of the atonement made. V. 17. “No man.” Only the priests could enter the tabernacle proper at any time, and on the day of atonement even they were excluded. ‘And for all the congregation.” There is no one sinless. All need an atone ment. Neither priest nor people can be saved in any o her way. V. 18. “ Out” from the holy place. “ The altar.” The brazen altar. “Before the Lord.” Before the tabernacle, the Lord's dwelling place. “Make an atonement for it” by put ting the blood on its horns. Even the altar on which the Isrealite laid his offering need ed an atonement. V. 19. “Seven times.” To denote a perfect eleaning. “Cleanse it." Make it again ceremonially clean. “Hallowit." As it had been rendered unclean by the contact of sin ful priests, it needed to be again consecrated to the service of God. 11, The burdened scapegoat. V. 20. “Reconciling.” Ceremonially puri fying. “Bring the live goat” to the altar. V. 21. “ Shall lay both his hands upon.” To denote a complete transfer. “ Confess.” No sins which were not confessed could be transferred. The three terms, “ iniquities,” “ transgn ssions ” and “sins,” usedin this veise denote all manner of sins “Putting them upon the head of the goat." Symbol, cal of transferring the sins of the people to the goat. "Send him away” bearing the sins of the people. "A fit man.” Oneappointed to the service, and appointed because he knew the wilderness, and was a man of suitable character and disposition. " into the wilderness.” Out of eight. When our sins are laid on Jesus, they are sent away from us never to return. 111. The cleansed sinners. V. 23. "Putoif the linen garments.” These were holy garments in which he had per formed holy services. He must now lay them aside as he was about to go out to the people. See Ezek. 42.14 and 44 19. V. 24. “Put ou his garments." Having been himself cleansed.he resumes his priestly robes. “His burnt-offering, and the burnt* offering of the people.” The two rams re served till now. , V. 25. “ And the fat,” etc. In accordance with the law for the sin-offering. See ch. 4:8-12 and 8:14-17. V. 26. “He that let go the goat.” He had been in contact with the goat on which the sins of the people had been laid, and is cere monially polluted. Therefore he must wash and be clean. V. 27. See note on verse 25. V. 28. " He that burneth them shall wash fits clothes." How careful God is, by all these ceremonies, to teach the people the exceeding sinfulness of sin. V 29. " Afflict your souls.” Fast. “Do no work atjdl.” Observe the day as a Sab bath. “One of your country or a stranger.” One law for all. There was but one mode of atonement for all. V. 30. “ Make an atonement fir you” for the year now passed. “To clesme you.” This was the design of all the ceremonies of the day. “ Clean from all your sins.” The atonement provided by God cleanses from every stain. The teacher may notice that though the High Priest entered the Holy of Holies only on one day in a year, yet on that day he entered four times. He first entered with the golden censer full of burning coals, ai d his hand full of incense, which he put upon the coals and covered the mercy seat wi h the smoke thereof. Then he entered with the blood of the bullock which be had offered for his own sins and for the sins of all the priests, which he sprinkled with his finger once upon the mercy seat and seven times before it Then he withdrew, leaving tl e basin of blood behind. The third time 1 e entered with the blood of the goat which he had offered for the sins of the nation, and did with it as with the blood of the bullock, after which he went out and put of the mingled blood of the bullock and the goat on the horns of the brazen altar, and sprink led it on the altar seven times with his fin ger. The fourth time he went in to bring out the censer and the plate on which he had carried in the incense. REMARKS. The teacher should seek to make this lease n present the atonement by Jesus Christ,which is the great peculiarity of the gospel. The ceremonial otferings of the Jews only secured from impending temporal judgments, while the blood of Christ “ cleanseth us from all sin.” In this day, when so many assaults are made on the doctrines of salvation through the atoning blood of Jesus, it is in , deed important that all our scholars should be fully taught the gospel way of salvation- Dr. Pierce's “ Golden Medical Discovery” has become so thoroughly established in public favor that were it not for the forget fulness of people it would not be necessary to call attention to its power to cure con sumption, which is scrofula of the lungs, and other blood diseases, as eruptions, blotches, pinpies, ulcers, and “ liver com plaints.” From F.

MHAT THE MEDICAL I’KOEESBIOH SAY ABOUT 11, AND The Wood Results Attending Its Use la Headache, Neuralgia, Nervousness, Indigestion, Sleepleasuess, and Paralysis. CELERY has come into public notice within the last few years as a nervine, but scientific ex periments au<l experience have proved beyond ■ doubt that it controls nervous irritation and periodic nervous ami sick headaches to a marked degree. Blown Bquard says that Celery contains more nerve food than any other vegetable or .ululanoe found in nature Celery was first dtxxtvered and used as a nervine by French physicians about 1867. But a combination of the EXTRACT OF CELERY AND CH A MOMIt.E, which has been but recently introduced to the profession and the public by Dr. C. W. Benson, has produced such marvelous re sults in curing nervousness and headaches, and especially nervous and sick headaches, neuralgia, paralysis, indigestion and sleeplessness, that it has excited public attention and newspaper com ments, and ntauy physlcans have tested the merits of this preparation with the best results, us quoted below from a few: WHAT PHYSICIANS SAY. “Dr. Benson’s preparation of Celery and Chamo mile for nervous diseases is the most importan addition made to the materia medico in the las quarter of a century.’’—Dr. J.
