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

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.

lawsuit of wealth.
Questions.-Wnen. was this parable
spoken? To whom? Where? 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. Tbelife �f faith

announcement of .the beidegroom's ap-
proach came the. revelatiorf and con-

OPERATIONS AROUND LEMBERG.
A Lontiot, Cable says ---The Pet-
rograd (St, Petersburg) correspondent
of the Times, in a report on the opera-
tions around, Lemberg, says:
"The forts of Lemberg have fallen,
and other Austrian armies have been
engaged in northern Galicia near Lub-
lie. We n1ay yet have to chronicle
the complete disruption *of the dual
monarchy's armed forces.
"The operations extended over an
enormous front of 200 miles, and prob-
ably a million and a half men were
engaged. Ths Austrians' extreme right
sustained enormous losses, but the
most terrible blow was dealt them by
the gdiant ltuzsky's army, which,
starting from Revile, thence toward
the southweet, spreading fanwise, se
as to involve the region north and
south of Lemberg, menacing the rear
of the Lubin army and threatening to
cut its communicatiOns.
* "To parry this movement, the Aus-
trians transferred several army corps
from the west side Cif the Vistula, and,
moving them- behind Lublin, hurled
them at RuzsIty. •
Write result of this movement is
chronicled in to -days official bulle-

AITSTRIVIS RINGED IN, 0 *
London, Acme -The Times' Petro-
grad (St. Peterientrg) correspondent,
telegraphing concerning Russian mili-
tary operations, says that the Russian
Emperor's forces drew around. the,
Austrian army like an iron semi-cirele.
The Austrians were thus obligee to
fight for their salvation with extreme
obstinacy, oaring to the fact that they
could not hope for any considerable re-
inforcements. 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-

years hairy vetches and ,Nvinter rye
have been compared as fodder crops in

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

saine as in other Years, except that the
fertilizers were eimlled in the spring
instead of the autunite of the year.
