The Wingham Advance, 1914-09-10, Page 7• 6,•<, 9 LESSON XL September 13, 1934. The Ten Virains,-Mo.a, 26, 1-13, Commentary:est. The waiting virs gins (ee. 1-5). 1. Thea -At the time neoltea of in the preceding chapter. When Christ comes to judge tee world. The eingdont of heaven -The begin- ning;, the nature, .tles progress and the Purpcee of the kingdom have been its Instrated and explained., now Jesus de- clarea something that pertains to the divine, indite of the operation or that kingdom on ciente Ten virgins - A picture of Oriental life is presented. It wee the custom for ten maidens with torches or lamps to go forth to meet the briaal Parte, as the bride- groom was returning, with his bride to his home where the wedding celebra- tion was to be held. Lamps -Torches. it Is probable that the • Waite were email bowls, in whic1 . wicits were Placed, fastened upon the tops of staffs and carried like torehes. Oriental wed - (nage were celebrated at night. The bridegroom -In this parable the bride- groom is generally understood to mean. Jesus Chrtst.'The.feast, that state of felicity to which He has promised to raise his b...endue followers..The wise or prudent, and foolish virgins, those who truly enjoy, and those who only profess. the purity and holiness of His The oil, the grace anti salva- tion of God, or that faith which works by love. The vessel, the heart in welch this oil is contained. The lamp, the profession ef enjoying the burning and shining light of the gospel of Christ. Going forth, the whole of their so- journing upon earth -Clarke. It is no rare figure in the *scriptures that re- presents Christ as the bridegroom and the church as the bride. (Matt. 0. 15; John 3. 29). See Ise, 62, 4, 5 and Hos. 2, 19, 20. The bride is the New Jeru- salem prepared to meet the brides groom (Rev. 21. 2, 9, 10). 2. Five -There is no especial signi- ficance in the numbers used in this verse. They simply show teat of those who profess to have the saving grace of God a, part are truly saved and a part are destitute. Wises fgolish In the Revised Version the foolisiaare mentioned first. In the parable they are more prominent, as the lesson taught pointedly applies to them.eeney stand for all who oeglect the interests of the soul; and the wise, those who perform every duty, and conform to every divine requirement. 3. Took no oil with them -The lamps contained only a limited supply of oil, and .niust be frequently replenished in order to keen the light burning. The foolish virgins had. ueglected this necessary precautien, "In the utterly derlt streets of an Asiatic city every one who goes forth at night is expected, and in mod- ern Jerusalem is required by the au- thorities, to carry a liget." Broedue. 4. The wise took bil in their veesele- By this act they seowed their wisdom. They not only had as much as the foolish one, but had also what- the latter lackea. Tbe eorms and prefes- dons or religion are god], but only avail as they are aeeompaeled by the* grace of God- and penmeated with, it. It was utterly impossible for the vir- gins in the pareble to be truly wetch- ing for the coming of the bridegroent, I t they lacked the proper preParation. 6. Wielle the bridegroom terrice-1t was Often the ease that the bridegroom went a long dietance to the home of the bride to coeduet .her tohis own home or that 01 his lather; ad with the delays that fLre IlifelY to ocour the East, where time is apparently of little account, there was tt long time for the maidens to Wait. Because Christ does not come at once to call the world to judgment, we aro not to Conclude that he will not come. His coming is certain. All slumbered and slept -They became drowsy. This was in perfect keeping with the nature or things. Those who were prepared were without anxiety, and knowing that they would be Manned Of the editing of the wedding procession with Ito Mimic and rejoicing, they could eonfidently resign themselves to sleep. The foolish, careless and neglectful had no concern for the future.. The application is that the wise were at- tending to their various duties with the fear of God before them and his grace in their hearts. In the faithful performance. of Christian itety, the child of God is in the best poseible attitude of watchfulness for the come lee of the heavenly Bridegroom, His vorning may be sudden .and unexpected, lt may be needy or long delayed, but there remains nothing to .be done in the way of preparation. IL The coming of the bridegroom (vs, 0-9). 6. At midnight -There had been an unusual delay, and the time was Most inopportune for those who lacked oil for their lamps to procure It. In its application it represents the dOse of the probationary period. Tile bridegrooni cometh -This- ery was eommon ig connection with wedding precessions. The time will surely come when we must face our Lor g weenier we are ready or hot, Go ye' out to meet hira-None will escape the com- mand. The cry will awaken every soul, and all shall stand before the Bridegroom, 7. M1 arose -They all underatood their duty, and at the egmmons there waa an effort on the pert of each to obey. Trimmed their lavapee-Tifey needed frequent trim- ming and replenishing. Thee was the time forwnich they had long bee1. slatting, and the time -when they tatist tieeded the light of their temps. 8. Give us or your oil -Nothing could be more true to native than thie. The wicks- could be lighted, but lacking di the light would soon go out. Realizing their need, the foolish virgins would attempt to secure a supply frem the neareet souree. Applied spiritually, no one will. have any grace to spare, nor a surplus of the Holy Spirits Our lamp ere going out It. V.) -An empty pro- feesion may .give the bearer a little ease in time, ent in the judgment the ownil laek will be keenly feet. 0, Not enough for us and you ---The wise vir- gins must possibly have spared a little oil, but at the risk of being left in darkness themselves; hoWev.il, applied espiritusfly, •one cannot impart grace or the Holy Spirit to another.

What is meant by the kingdom of heaven? The ten Virgins? What is meant by the lamps? Tee bridegroom? The oil? How did five of the virgins show their folly? Why could not the wise grant their request? Who went in to the marriage feast? Why were the others, shut out? Haw did Jesus apply this Parable?•Why ought we to watch? How should we watch? What rewards may these who are Watchful expect? PRACTICAL SURVEY. Topic -Christ's second coming. L The uncertainty of time, 11. The certainty of event. • I, The uncertainty of time. This les- son contains Jesus' discourse concern. Ing His seem' coming and the end of the world. it was His farewell ser- mon of caution. The parable illustrates chiefly the meanieg of Christ's com- mand to. watch, its reason and the means of fulfilling it. The great les- son which Jesus drew from this par- able 1v118, that since none know the clay or hour of elis coming, the only safety. is in watching continually. True wisdom consists in being always ready and in constant remembrance of the Bridegroom's coming. This par- able relates only be those who have led in various degrees a religieus life. The wise virgins represent those who re- cognize the importance of having within them grace that will endure to the end. The foolish virgins represent persons of brief temporary - religious experihnce. Jesus impressed the • Im- portance of forethought in the awls- tian life. He intimated that nothing so tests the Christian as faithful endur, agiee to Pee end. The two classes here represented were moved by one desire, to welcome the bridegreom and to par- take of his banquet. There evas a. com- mon likeness which continued for et considerable time. All, having made such preparation as they judged suf- ficient, calmly and securely waited the approach of the bridegroom. At mid-, night' the difference between the real- ly 'apparently prepared was manifest, revealing a meet important'andserious distinctioa. The foolish virgins were .neglectful and presumptuous. 11. The certainty of event. The sud- den announcement filled some .with joy, others with perplexity. The wise virgins did all they could for their companions, who had not kept in mind the thpught that though the. bride, groom miget weete taiY niomentoyet he might long , delay. Tete neer ap- eroach of Christ's seCorfd*Icoming was almost universally accepted by the early church. That all slept does not indicate the relaxation or decline of Christianity, but •an abatement of a definite expectation of the' near • ap- proach of Christ's comieg. This sug- gests that none realize fully the great necessity of watchfulness. it is an intimation of human weakness, 'and a lack of apprehensieh of the character of the true Bridegreom. •Tue, readi- ness includes maintenance of personal religious life, full ',response to all Christian obligatieng and kindly rela.- Hens with others; Preparetion is needed for participation .in• the' joy of the Lord. Regarding the virgins, as types of Christian disciples,,,whatever is merely outward is tile lamp and the light; whatever is inward and spirit- ual is the oil reserved in the vessels. Jesus emphasized. the importance of true regard both to the outward and inward life, A fair external is no ex - ease for inward•unsoundness or in - 'completeness, neither May well de- veloped inner life find *excuse for an inconsistent exterior.

"The operations extended over an enormous front of 200 miles, and prob- ably a million and a half men were engaged.

The southern army, un- der General Frank, had been almost completely destroyed by the Serviette, aud'the transfer of the remnant of three corps would alter nothing, 'save that perhaps in this meaner the road to Budapest would be left open to the Serbs. The Germans had apparently retired from Polish territory west of the Vis- tula, and were unable to send the Aus- trians as much as a single battalion, So that the army, wider Archduke Frederick, was left to its own res sources. . During the first weeks of th'e war the principal etrength of the Austrian - army advanced on the left bank of • the Vistula, with the palpable object of reaching Warsaw from the south, while the German army from Eastern Prussia proposed a simultaneous ad- vance into Poland from the north. When the Russian victories of Gum- * binnen scattered the illusion' of possi- bility of advance on Warsaw, the Aus- trians employed their tremendous forces scattered on the left bank of the Vistula to outflank the right wing er the Russian army encireling*Lem- berg. To this enormous superiority and strength on the Austrian side must be assigned the fact that during the first few days of the general engagement west of .Toinastie the Russian, attack was converted into a defence, in which the heroism of the Russian army sur- mounted* all . obstacles and the Aus- trians' numerical superiority. this vcry thing Pufl preparation bad mediate. serv ee. - HE NEIN POPE 13 IN OFFICE Ceremonial of Benediction Wit- nessed by Great Crowd.

The 'average re- sults show that, the Imperial Amber winter wheat surpassed the Mammoth White winter rye by a yield .of 83.2 Pounds of grain per acre. In experi- ments throughout Ontario for seven Years the Mammoth White surpassed the Common variety of winter rye by tanu.ltilietinsititileli.aaveerreoge of practically four Winter Emmer and Winter Barley. -A comparative test of winter erainer and winter barley has oeen • made throughout Ontario in each Of the past five years. The averstge results for the three years previous to 1913 showed that the winter. emmer gave 1,830 and the winter barley 1,812 pounds of grain per acre. The average ,,re- sults of an experiment eonducted 'en two farms in 1911 show that the win- ter barley gave 14480 pounds and the winter denser 720 mulcts per acre. -The winter emmer \yds quite badly winter • Hairy Vetches and Winter Rye for Fodder. -In each of the past three years hairy vetches and ,Nvinter rye have been compared as fodder crops in co-operative experiments. Four good reports of this experiment' were re- ceived in each of the past three years. In 1913 and again in 1914 the wiatce rye produced a greater yield per acre than the hairy vetches in each of the separate tests. The low 'yield of the hairy vetches is due to the fact that the crop was badly winter killed. Pertilization with Winter Wheat -- In the co-operative experiments with different fertilizers applied in the au- tumn ,to winter wheat, the average yields of grain per aera for eight yettra were as toilows: Mixed fertilizer, 23.5 bushels; nitrate of soda, 22.5 bushels; muriate of potash, 21.5 bushels, and superphosphate, 21.2 bushels. On simi- lar laud, eow manure, at the rate of twenty.tons per acre, gave an average yield of 25.8 bushels per acre, and the land which receivea neither fertiliziesr,s1 nor manure gave an average of bushels per acre. • The euperphosphate was applied at the rate of 320 pounds, potash end the nitrate and the neuriate of soda melt 160 pounds per acre. The mixed fertilizer consisted of one-third of the quantity of each of the other three fertilizers here mentioned. itt the past two years the fertilizer de neriment with winter wheat was the saine as in other Years, except that the fertilizers were eimlled in the spring instead of the autunite of the year. Prom the spring applications the hind which received the mixed fertilizer gave the highest average yield, and the unfertilized land the lowest aver- age yield of grain. The cost of fer- tilizers used itt tTits eueriment *would be apnroxiMately from four to five dollars per (tem In another experiment nitrate of scale inereased the yield of wheat more than m141,0011 salt When applied either in the auttann or le the spring.
