Children’s Corner. « Rev. T. 0. BOTKIN, Bute 8. 8. Evangelist, Ed bible explorations. When David had gone a little way a eervant of Mepnibosheth met him hav ing two asses saddled and upon them 200 loaves of bread and 100 bunches of grapesand 100 summer fruits and a bot tle of wine. The king asked him what he meant by all these things. He said the asses were for the king's household to ride upon and the fruit was for the young men to eat and the wine w'as for such as might be faint. At a certain place there came out to meet David, a man of Saul’s family nam -d Shimei, who cursed him and cast stones at him and his servants. Then Abishai said to the kiny, *'Why should this dead dog curse my It rd the king ? Let me go over, I pray thee, and take oft his head.” But David said, let him alone, the Lord hath permitted him to curse the king. If my own son seeks my life, how much more this Benjamin ite. So David and his men went on their way, while Shemei continued to curse them and throw s ones at them. When David had gone from Jerusalem, Absalom and all the men with him went there. Ahithopel was aDo with him. When Absalom saw Hushai, David’s friend, in Jerusalem, he asked him why he did not go w ith his friend. Hushai re plied, “as I have served in thy father’s presence so will I be in thy presence.” Then Absalom asked Ahithopel’s ad vice. He told him to let him select 12,- 000 and pursue after David and over take him while he was weary and make him afraid. That all the people would flee and he would then smite the king. This advice pleased Absalom and the elders of Israel. He called for Hushai and asked his advice. Huehai said that the advice of Ahithopel was riot good. He advised that as David and the men with him were mighty men of valor, all Israel should be called together and a great army be sent against him, so that he could be taken wherever he might go. Absalom and his men liked this ad vice better than that given by Ahithopel. Hushai knew that his advice, if followed, would give David more time to get away. Hushai then went to two priests, who were also David’s friends and told them to send messengers to David to tell him not to lodge in the plains of the wddernese, but to pass quickly over the Jordan, lest he and those with him be swallowed up. There were two young men at a place called Emogel, who were friends of Da- Aid. A woman delivered to them the L- message from the priest, but a lad saw when they started off and ran and HflFAbsalom,who sent his servants after flSem. A certain woman hid them in her well and threw over it a cloth upon which she put ground c>rn. Sowhen the servants could not find the young men they returned to Jerusalem. And thus David received the message and he and all tnose with him went over the Jordan that night. In the morning there was not one that had not passed over the river. QUESTIONS. 1.

Dear Brother Boykin : I can’t write for the pret-s, but I wish to tell you in response to your request some weeks ago in The Index, that we read together a chapter in the Bible every night in the week and try to explain it to our children as well as we are able. After we have done that we select one verse which we call the Golden Text and the older children learn it so as to be able to repeat it the next night. We have six children, four boys and twogi I*, from one to fourteen years of age. Our oldest boy is a member of the church. United with it when he was twelve years old. Pray for us and our children. We always read the Explorations and enjoy them much. Youis in Christian love, Mrs. E. S. We are delighted to receive one res ponse to our request in regard to tl e practice of parents in reading and study ing the Scriptures in the family. We think our sis'er’s plan a good one and hope she will always keep it up and find it a source of great pleasure and profit. We are not surprised to learn that her boy joined the church a. 12 years of age! We will remember her request. We will aid her in having The Index sent if she will allow us to do so. We would be highly gratified to hear from other parents. Please write us. We have another kind and encourag ing letter from “M,” with answers, e.c. She says: “I am glad to see that others are taking such interest and will do all I can, if only to send answers, and hope before very long to do more for your en couragement and for the good of all who will join in this deligh.ful work.” Her letters always inspire and help us. We have received Willie’s enigmas. One has already gone in, the other goes in this week. Her answers are nea 'y always correct and her enigmas gooo. Send them regularly. We will use them as we find space and opportunity. Glad they are written on only one sice of the paper—did not have to copy. We are getting quite impatient to hear from other Explorers and helpers. We have never yet been 1 able to tell why more of our friends, old and young, do not join us in our efforts to encourage the study of the Scriptures. Nothing has surprised us more than this. We have this week answers from only two— “M” and Willie. We often feel very despondent and almost ready to give up.

If they have been assistance to any of you, I greatlx rejoice 1 trust that the lessons of the com ing year, forming a continuous study of the gospel of Mark, will receive your c instant and cares a tention. Thus will they be a blessing both to yourselves and to those whom you teach. May God grant it, is the prayer of your friend and fellow teacher. 8. H. Mirick We are sorry to lose the helpful pen of D r . Mirick in this department, and especially sorry that the loss is occasioned by an im paired state of health on his part. May the mercy of the Lord send him a speidy resto ration! Meanwhile, we shall keep up the exposi tion of the Sunday-School lessons from week to week- It shall be our purpose to make this column a real help to all teachers, as it has been in times past, and to increase its adaptation to that end as opportunity offers and our resources allow. A Valuable Experience —Few men are better known throughout the Methodist denomination than D W. Bartine, D D , M D. Speaking of a most critical incident in his life, be said: “Some time since I found myself suffering from what is known as Albuminuria. By the use of a reliable test. I found albumen in the urine, and in some slight degree in a few instances in a coagula ted state I luffered from dropsy, particu larly about the ankles slight | aius about the kidneys, a deiangemeut of digestion, great dryness of the skin at times much thirst, and of course a gradual failing of strength This was about the state of things when I commenced using Warner's Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. I took about six tablespoonfuls every day for a week, when I found all my symptoms decidedly improved, and at the end of two weeks it was oiffieult to detect any trace of albu-uen. Having imprudently taken cob', I had u very slight relapse sou e two weeks ago, when I began again using the medicine, and am now as well as ever " The doctor's symptoms a:e as common as headache, and yet, unless taken in time, they may lead to the worst results, which the remedy above named will certainly pre vent. □ does wiivnl ■wonderful Hill ;| CURES! ■mhmM ■ Because it acts on the LIVER, BOWELS H and KIDNEYS at the same time.
