his friends, or 'groomsmen' (see Judgdes
xiv. 11; Matt, ix. 15; John �. 20,), to
the bride's dwelling, where she awaited

to enter. -Abbott. It is still the custom
in Syria for the marriage procession to
proceed, in the night. Ten virgins -Ton

Christian church. "The ten virgins sig-
nify not merely a part of the church,
but the whole of it." -Lange. Took their

2. Were wise -These left nothing to be
atteridea to at the last moment; they
were prudent and fully prepared. Fool-

church of Christ on earth consists of
both true and false, members spiritually
deati and others spiritually alive. The ex-
ternals of Christianity are nothing before
God where the heart is not truly saneti-
fied through the Holy Spirit." 3. Took
their lamps -We must carefully note
the contrast: In the case of the foolish
the taking a their lamps is everything;
but in tire case of the wise it is the
taking of all ie their vessels. The foot.
isli are thus represented as being vain
and thoughtless. looking only at appear-
ances. and only In haste going forth
through excited feelings. -Lange. Took
no on with them -The oil represents the
grace or love of God in the heart. These
virgins represent a class of so-called
Christians who make a profession of re-
ligion, but who lack the faith which
vrorketh by love. 'They had just oil en-
ough to make their lamps burn for the
present, but no cruse or bottle of oil
with them for a recruit, if the bride-
groom tarried. That is, I. They have no
principle within; they are like the seed

4. Took oil -They carried a vessel with
oil to pour into the lamp when necessary.
"The decisive test was net the lamp, but

and yet they must have a lamp to hold.

PRACTICAL APPLICATION.
"Behold, the -Bridegroom cornett" (v.
0.) The key of our lesson is the coming
of the Bridegroom. The greatest earthly
felicity typifies the greatest heavenly
blessing. Like the Oriental wedding, the
marriage supper (Rev. xix. 9) will be a
time of feasting (John ii, 1-11), rejoicing
(Iste lxii. 5; Jer. xxxiii. 11). and gift:
(Pat. xl.v. 12.) At the wedding will be,
1. "The Bridegroom" (v. 1.)- Tho Be-
loved if "faiver than the children of men"
(Psa. xlv, 2.) They tell us the Hebrew
reads, "Beautiful, beautiful art them
above the sons of men." Le every virtue,
every grace. the Bridegroom is the chiee
est among ten thousand and the one alto-
gether lovely. William 0. Carr once
k on George Muller and afterward beard
him preach. At the close of the sermon
he took the aged man by the hand, and
said, "1 so enjoyed your sermon. I may
never see you here again, but I shall
meetyou up yonder." The old man lift-
ed his face, aglow with light from hea-
ven, and said, shall see his face, I
shall kiss his feet."
II, The bride. The first verse of our
lesson in the old `Versions reads, "To meet
the Bridegroom and the bride," and read
this way it perfectly describes an East-
ern wedding. The bride ie of divine de-
scent, "born from above" (John Ha 3, 5.)
Adam and Eve, the first bridegroom and
bride (Gen. ii. 18-24, margin), typify
'the great mystery" (Eph, v. 22-23.) The
bride is separated to Christ. Her love
is all for the Bridegroom. She has heard
him say, "Let us go forth" (S. of S. vie
11.) She is "in the world" of sorrow
but not "of the world" of sin (John xvii.
11, 14-18), because living in the Spirit
and walking in the Spirit "above" the
world's anxieties, pleasures, fears and
frowns (John viii. 23.) Like her Lord,
she has no work of her own (John iv.
34; v. 30; vi. 30), no will of ber own. no
wish of her own (Psa. me% 4.) She
lives to "please him" (John viii. 20; L
John iii. 22. Her motto is, "War thy plea-
sure" (Rev. iv. 11.) She has no desire
apart from him. She can say con-
stantly,
"His will is sweetest to me
When it triumphs at my cost." ,

The bride is clothed with the sun (Rev.
xii. 1.) Her character is transparent as
light. Her garments are of "linen ....
bright" (Rev. xix. 8, margin.) Not only
fine and clean. but bright, shining, lus-
trous, glorious. She has been purified
and made white (Dan. xii. 10.) To be
purified is to have sin burned out; to be
made white is to have brightness burned
in. One is purity; the other glory. The
bride is not only justified and sanctified,
but redeemed (I. Con 1. 30), glorified.
The inner robe spotless; the outer robe
glorious. Water makes linen clean, a
hot iron pressed hard makes it shining.
The bride will be justified by grace,
cleansed by blood and purified by trial.
III. The wise virgins (vs. 4, 0). The
virgins are the tompanions of the bride,
who follow her (Psa. xlv. 14). The fool -

Cattle Buyer.
Ottawa, Sept. 30.-Savig00e, the
would-be murderer of his wife and moth
er-helaw, has' been capturen, and is now
in the county jail here. He was aerest-
ed at about 6 o'clock last night in a
tram house three miles from Beauletr-
nois by Chief Detective Dicks and. De-
tective Ryan, ef the Ottawa force,
and was secured only after a des-
perate struggle. When searched two
loaded revolvers and a box of cartridges
and $136 in bills were foune on him. The
two detectives left here at noon on Fri-
day upon receipt of a tip that Savignac
had been Seen on the toad front Corn-
wall. The officers went first to Coteau,
and then drove west about twelve miles,
but failed to „locate their man.
Yesterday they got more definite clues
and started east from Coteau. They
learned that the fugitive had been pos.
ing as a cattle buyer on his way to the
United States, and were soon hot on his
trail, Finally, as night was drawing en,
they traced him to the farm house where
he had made arrangements to stay the
night. The detectives and their French-
Canadian. driver cautiously approached
the house. Jt. was dusk, and the lamps
had uot been lit. First the driver en.
toted, and then Dicks and Ryan. The
officers quickly spice, Savignae, although
he had shaved off his beard, and after a
fierce struggle, during which the prison-
er fought like a wild -cat, he was disarm-
ed and nutuaeled. • The detectives took
Savignae to Montreal Juliette% where
they caught the westbound "Soo" train,
arriving, in Ottawa about 2.30 this morn-
ing. The prisoner was kept in the city
lock-up until 10 o'clock and then brought
to the county jail. To -morrow he will
appear before Police Magistrate Smite,
Savignae •ifirs told that bis two vic-
tims would recover, but manifested no
concern. But for the pouring rain he
would have safely got over the 'border,
but his creme was not equal to facing
the wet weather.

WOULD DROWN A CORELLI,
Outlook Has Reached Conclusion That
There Are Two,
London, Oct. 1. -The Outlook has
reaehea the conclusion that there ids
two Mario Corellis. 14 says that oue of
them could write good second-rate books
if she could be prevailed epoxy to drown
the other in the nearest bucket of
water. The Coral the Outlook wants
drowned is the one that 'mists upon
postulating in every Corelli novel it
society of the rich steeped in vice, and an-
other of the poor endowed with every
itringinable virtue. It frankly admits,
however, that if that Corelli shotild be
drowned the surviving Corelli could not
wtite popular books.
