Aifr�d'°Pry. An 80.yeavold parrot known
rDQnnyb�rvQk as roily died in the spectacular
d ChtfrcheS'Q fire last Saturday morning which
• levelled the Main hanger at SI
Harbor.
The bird „ was well-...now�.
throughout this district and war' a
be missed by the people who
• frequented the airport. y
. The Signal -Star �recelved word
this week -of Ponies history, from
someone• who knew the bird
or listen to the true Gospel
Message; it- is an invitation tc ,
believe in Jesus Christ (John 3,
verse 16). Many 'People : fully,;
intend to accept the -invitation;
but. keep putting it off, 'and
many go out , into Eternity.
without accepting Christ.
. The 10 virgins were told to be
ready for the day of the
wedding, they were not told the
day . or hour, but to have their
lamps trimmed;• and ready,
meanwhile they slumbered and
slept,; or went on as usual. The"
�. word of God says "watch
therefore for you know neither
the day nor the hour when the
Son of Man cometh." Every
time we attend a funeral service
we are reminded of the call of
God, • "Prepare to meet your u ron
God."
In .the parable, Jesus told,
suddenly the cry was heard, it h
'was in the night, Behold the •
at Bridegroom cometh, go • ye out

Folix trembled and answered
"Go thy way for now, when .I
v have a convenient season, I will
call for you." Acts 24.25.
With these words Felix
dismissed the, Apostle Paul, who
was trying -to. convince•Felix that
it was wrong .to continue to live
in a sinful manner,)'elix. knew
. that he should change his ways,
but he put it off, and there is -no
% record ' of him ever changing his
mind.
Procrastination is the thief of
time, and we are all guilty of this
habit. We intend to repair that
broken thing in the home or
barn, or to have our car checked
for faulty brakes, or to to to the
Doctor when not feeling well, or
write that overdue letter, but we
put' it off until it is too late.
If this is true in material
things, how much more is it true
of Spiritual things. In the twenty
fifth chapter of Matthew, Jesus
tells the- parable . of the 10
Virgins, five were wise, five Were
fooli`sh..Jesus was teaching the
truth concerning the end of the
world, or when He Himself, as
The Heavenly Bridegroom,
would return for His Bride, (The
Church). The true church. is .and
will -134 ncomposed of -allmpeople
whoa have .accepted Him as Lord
and Saviour, and have' been
washed in. His Precious Blood,
which was so freely shed upon
the cross of Calvary-.
--''R.° These 10 virgins are a true
picture of the world, there are
those ' who are wise and are
prepared to meet God, there are
others who are foolish; who
keep putting it off, these either
scoff at the word of God, auit
join the crowd who are so
indifferent, or are too wrapped
up • in material things that they
have no time for the church or
the things of God. We, like the
10 virgins, all look alike, bile the
Christians are known by their
life . and how 'they live. Like' the
.10- virgins we have all been
invited to the marriage supper,
every time you read God's word

anyone to tell you that this "old' "
message, is riot true, or that God
in Itis love will not turn any
away, it is true. Tie will nod turn
us away, but in, His .justice God
has made a way, of escape ;by
accepting the gift of His son. But
if we willingly, and `wilfully, turn_
our back upon ,Him, He has no
alternative but to turn His back
upon us. Do not make the same
mistake as'Felix, or the five
foolish virgins, but make sure
today that your life. is. in Christ.
well. It was Mrs. Roy Finnigan;
East Street, who gave the details
on Polly. • '' .
Polly was just one 'of four
parrots brought to Canada by -an
Auburn sailor, known only. as
Mr: Stanley. As it turned out,
Polly . was the only survivor --
the other three birds died soon
after arriving in this country.
Polly made his. home with
Mrs. Laura -Fowler who at that
time lived in Auburn. `Mrs.
Fowler is Mrs: Finnigan's mother

daughter.

And .so Jesus says, the wise

and went in with the

of the wedding, but they found
