NUE AND LOOLISH VIMINS, "Our lamps aro gone out." -Matt. xxv. 8. A great attempt has been made to repre- sent this parable as describing different de- grees of grace rather than the vital difference between true and false Christians. On this. supposition, the point lies la the vividness or dullness of the expectancy withwhich different Christians await the second advent of Christ and the glories that shall follow. The exclusion spoken of in the parable will then be a temporary, not a final, exclusion; an, exclusion, perhaps, as they would say, trent the triumphs of the millennial reign; not from the final blessedness of the saints in light. Those who take .a different view of the millennium itself cannot be expected to adopt an interpretation which presupposes an earthly reign of Christ and His people preparatory tothe last consummation. But, indeed, a simple and natural treatment of the language and imagery of the parable is utterly iueonsistent with such an interpre- tation. ” Five of theist were wise and lave were fooish," 44 Afterwards eeme also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. But He answered and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I know you not." It is the very, expression of another passage, which admitsofno two applications. "When once the master of the house is risen up and bath shaft to the door, anal ye begin to stand tt'ithout, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open sato ars ; laud lie shall answer and say unto you, I know not whence ye are ; then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk iii Thy presence, and Thou least taught in ono streets, But .lie shall say,.

'Our lamps are going out"—that is, it is criticalmoment. Each day, indeed, is a crisis—each day is a trial, which is the iueaning of crisis—each day is a judgment, which is the meaning of crisis for each one.

Each wor.lspok- en ie the result of a choice. There is just time, before the lips open, to choose and re- fuse. No word is so idle but it either con- demns or justifies. Weseleet worde when we night have ehosen actions, because words, as our Lord teaches us, even more than acts, come straight and direct, out of the treasure, good or evil, which is the heart of the man. We are always deciding between two differ- ent ortwo opposite kinds, both of smelt and of conduct, and the crisis or decision, which is in this sense our own, is, in another sense, God's upon us. We decide, and God judges, every hour; and the hour is the specimen, and to some sense, the epitome of the crisis which is the life. TIIE MISTS wiri[i:'_1' TRE CRISIS. But there is a crisis within the crisis. There are days and days, hours and hours, moments and moments. Probably the busy memory of many of us, never more busily than in God'e house, recalls periods, very brief periods of the life, which have been tinning points of the bein,g. Almost cons- ciously sometimes we have .tad to settle for ourselves of what colour and complexion the rest of the life should be, of what colour and complexion, certainly, as #o its occupation and circumstance ; but perhaps even moral- ly, perliaps even religiously, as towards God and man, perhaps even eternally, as in the foreview of hell or heaven. There are such decisions; Before the trot great gill, limier the t'irst great attack of the infidel, at parti- cular emergencies arti=cularem>.ergencies demanding a "Yes" or "No" of truth or falsehood, it is no exagge. ration to say that the scales at such times are quivering before us, and we have to throw intb one or into the other the very life of the life. 11 At midnight there seas a cry made," and we must go' out to meet it.

It will make is that of prudence or providence, shown in the whale difference whether the lamp is making provision for all contingencies -min bright or dim, whether it is trimmed or neg- this instance, for the possibility of long delay in the arrival of the event, or the person waited for. There was expectation itt all the ten ; there was providence only in half of them. COMMON SLOWER.. What is the moat remarkable, there was drowsiness, there was even stiunber, in the 9350 of all, and no express blame is attached to h. It is a beautiful illustration, I think, not only of our Lord's naturalness in teach- ing, but also of our Lord's mercifulness in allowing for nature, He who knewtho sleep of fatigue, He who once in the tumult of the elements which terrified His companions was Himself " in the hinder part of the ship asleep on a pillow," makes it not the point for rebuke in this parable, that long watch. ing, even in spiritual things, brings with it drowsiness, and that weariness, oven in spiritual things, will sometimes fall on sleep. The wise and the unwise are hero alike and equal in this respect. Tile difference is strongly marked between them, but it lies neither in the expeotaucy on the ono hand, nor in the (bowmen on the other. It lies in the providence and the improvidence which had mule ornotmadcpreparation for unforeseen contingencies, and for distresses and necessities growing out of them. lceted, whether it is doing out or shinin clearly, If it is only the tamp that brought out with ane at the beginning. utterly regardless of the time that I might be kept waiting, stilt.y taking it for grant- ed that it would hold out through the necessary* period, whatever that might be, it will not avail me for this midnight crsv and this sudden waking, " Improvidence' is my description. "Five of thein were wise and five were foolish, for they took no ail with them," Now it shall be seen that to be of any use, the (gospel must have been made my own by a sort of forethought and providence quite different from that assuming and presuming of its truth whieh brings a man to church and keeps a man from blaspheming ; quite different from the being a Christian because I was born so, or because every one around me is so, or, for the less hottest reason still, because Iain afraid to inquiet and unwilling to know. VIE POINT 01' T11E I'.ii.ABLE. Commentators who think it their duty to interpret each figure of a parable, even where our Lord Himself has not done so for us, find considerable difficulty in this pro- vision of oil, knowing that, as it was of old with' the manna, so it is always with the supply of Gocl's grace, that it is for the day now running its course, and cannot be kept over till the morrow. We shall not try to spiritualize each particular of the imagery. It is enough for us to catch the point of the parable, and we cannot err in declaring it to be the enforcement of thatgraceof spirit- ual provision and providence, which lays its account for every sort and kind of emer- gency, and which, even while it sleeps, keeps the heart waking, so that it need never be afraid of any surprise from earth, heaven, or hell—nay, even when the last call comes, and comes suddenly, shall only have to rise and trim its lamp, secure of the needful supply, secure of the open door and the abundant entrance. It is not so with the improvident five. They have shared the expectation, they have shared the protracted watching, of their comrades, and the latter have shared with them the natural drowsiness and slumber of the delay. The contrast is seen not in the sleep, brit in waking from sleep. While the provident sleepers have but to rise and trim their lamps, the work of a few moments, and abundantly provided for by the supply of oil in the vessels taken with the lamps, they wake to find the lamp expiring, and to become conscious of the fatal effect of a shortsightedness which it is too late to repair. " Our lamps are going out"—whence now can we replenish them ? In their embarrassment they make appli- cation to the wise; " Give us of your oil". But the supply which is sufficient leaves nothing over ; and the only possible is now the desperate counsel to " go and buy." Meanwhile the door is shut, and the en- treaty for late entrance is met by the cold and stern repulse, " Verily, I say unto you, I know you not:"__,, No parable ever read itself more spontane- ously into its designed lesson; and if it is so with the general' import, certainly it is so with the brief clause which has been read to us as the text, " Our lamps are gone out," or, as the Revised Version rightly gives it, with the margin of the Authorized, " Our lamps aro going out." This expressesfar more vividly, far more touchingly, the exact crisis intended the utter extinction has not taken place, but must take place; before r the arrival of the supreme reme moment—it is just the agony of the dying, not the sullen stillness of the dead. " Our lamps are going out." .A 'sena, tional use might be made of the saying. But we want to let it sink down quietly into the heart. It isa suitable subject for a season of quiet reflection, for an hour of holy thought like this. "Our lamps are going out." We need notbe punctilious any longer about the exact original meaning of the figure of the lamps and the figure of the oil ;. of the going out to meet, and of the arrival ofthe bridegroom ; of the expectation that was common to the °PULAR S NORTHROP & LYMAN'S Vgctabic flI5coYery BLOOD PURIFIER HEALTH RECUT A TOR .14U1Iit111I1"111,11it,1,II Ur„I111111t"IIt,11111,Illt,e,III,11tt11t,111IIt1,I4nIa,IIi1114 No Medicine Equals it.

THE 01:EiT TESTING TIME. "Our lamps are going out." There is e day before each ono of us which, if reason and thoueht bo continued to it, must try to the uttermost the firm( as and constancy of the man. It is a. day with which long years of participation in the services of the Church, its music and ritual, its reading and preaching, have but it faint and distant con- nection. Tho mention of death in the ears of the living is but a tentative and conjectu- ral mention ; speaker and hearer alike feel it to be so ; and wo may well suppose that when we come to die the experience itself will be utterly unlike anything predicted or anticipated concerning it ; nay, that wo shall find then, for the forst time, is there either reality to us, or substance, or meaning, in tho name. But can we not all feel already these three things. First, that it must require something very real to give us any help whatever in venturing that step into the invisible. Secondly, that it can be only by miracle if we find help or that reality in anything then for the first time apprehended. And thirdly, that of all agon- ies that must be the greatest which should vent itself then in the cry " My lamp is go- ing out." To feel that wo have walked all in a vain shadow, calling Christ, Lord, yet never knowing Him, and never doing any one thing because of Him; worshipping we know not what because never ' stirring up ourselves" (as a prophet has written) "'to lay hold upon Hun." How terrible ! To have to turn then to the bystanders, and say, " Give me of your oil," and to receive the only possible answer, "Go and buy." To have to be reminded of the dying robber and the marvellous grace vouchsafed to Him, though we cannot ignore the fact that his case and ours aro diametrically opposite in every antecedent and in every circumstance of the spiritual state. To have to summon all the expiring energies of the failing heart, to turn, if it might be so, into sudden real- ity those words of entreaty which have been drained of all virtue by a long taking of them in vain. How terrible ! Is there not motive as well as awe in the thought? Shall we not try while the life is yet strong in us to mean that prayer which is mighty with God and prevails ?

DRGDENrE rS PROVIDENCE, Brethren, prudence, not in the cold un- lovely sense of caution, but in the grand or- iginal of which t4 prudence " is the contrac- tion, ontracttion, " providence" is a special grace, and it is the grace of which this parable tolls, The prospect before each one, when ho goes forth to his work and to his labour, the pro- speotbefore each one when he looks out, in the morning of life, upon the day of which death is the evening, is a long as well as a varied prospect; and he has to consider how he shall Iast out through, if that were all, that protracted hour of a wearisome waiting. Will the Gospel light last ins through this long day? Has it the permanence, has it the copiousness, has it the adaptability which the three score and ten, or four score years, with all their varieties of youth and age, of toil and resting, of joy and grief, of companionship and solitude, of temptation. and weakness, will demand of it if it is to see me through them ? It will do this on • one condition alone that is graspedbetimes as the revelation of a Person, not as the de- finition of a thing. If it bring me into liv- ing sympathy, into loving communion with One who has me in His constant keeping, and is concerned to be to me all that I need for safety, for comfort, for everlasting blessedness. then indeed 1 shall have not only the lamp of a temporary brightness, but with the oil of aperpetual replenishing; not only a system of doctrine and worship which I can read in a book; or share with a society of living, dying men, but a faith, and a hope, and a love, which I can give whole and undivided, give withoutidolatry, and know that I shall not be ashamed, to One who was before time and inhabiteth eternity, One who loves with an everlasting love, and saves with an everlasting salva- tion. This is what is meant by the grace of prudence when Jesus Christ throws upon it the light of His Gospel. This foresight, this prevision of the immense, the infinite future, this surrender of the whole man to God, on the basis of the Father, the Saviour, the Comforter, revealed in. the Gospel ; the determination to live and to die in ,this personal faith, is the taking of the oil with the lamps, which .. makes and which is the difference between the folly of the foolish in the parable and the wisdom of the wise. This providence will make you independent of the passing mood, of the varying spirits, of the changing circum- stances, of the many false alarms, of the long waiting, and the hope often deferred. For it builds not on the shifting sand of feeling, 'Cut on the impregnable rock of truth—it never counted itself anything, but only knew in Whom it had believed. IMPROVIDENCE, " Our lamps are going out." It is the ex- ceeding bitter ory of the improvident Chris- tian when he finds himself face to face with a great temptation, feels how far stronger is the power of the evil than anything which he has to set against it. In vain, he says to himself, in vain all that intellectual assent, and all that formal worship which I imagined to be the beginning and ending of the faith of a Christian, As tow when it toucheth the fire, are the restraining bands of such a Christianity. Real temptation to real sinning needs something real to cope with it. "Oil in the vessels with the lamps, this is the one thing needful, and this one thin I lack. "Our lamps are going out." It is the ex- cepding bitter cry of the improvident Chris - Convictions in Bigamy Cases. The great majority of Canadians, while they have no desire to discourage any of their fellow -citizens on marriage bent, pro vided no legal impediment stands in the way, have a decided objection to a man assaying to become the head of two house- holds at one and the same time. And yet as our law stands at present, it is not an easy matter to bring to justice the man who refuses to be satisfied with the love of one fair daughter of Eve. Chief McKinnon of the Hainilton police, has drawn attention to the difficulty experienced in securing con viotions in bigamy cases when the previous - or subsequent marriage has taken place in England, the United States or other foreign country. The difficulty arises from the expense and trouble that occurs in securing proof of the original or subsequent marriage, to establish which it is necessary that an eye -witness of the ceremony shall give viva voce testimony in our courts as'to the bona fide character of the marriage. The difficulty is obvious. Mr. McKinnon suggests, and there does not seem to be any good reason why the change should not be made, that our law bo simplified: so as to admit the evidence of these witnesses being taken under a commission and the testimony thus obtained being accepted by our courts.
