Lesson j
(By E. O. SELLERS, Director of Evening
Department, riie Moody Bible Institute, i
Chicago.)
LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 13
THE TEN VIRGINS.
LESSON TEXT Mutt. 25:1-13.
GOLDEN' TEXT "Watch therfore for
ye know neither Iho day nor the hour
when the Son of Mian cometh." MiitL
25:13.
A parable Is "an earthly 6tory with
a heavenly meaning." An analogy Is
"a likeness." This story is a parable.
It Is to Illustrate the vigilant, expect
ant attitude of faith, Heb. 6:28; II
Tim. 4:8. Leaving the temple, Jesus
drew the disciples' attention to its
buildings and predicted Its destruc
tion. Proceeding to the Mount of
Olives, his disciples ask him, "Tell us,
when shall these things be? And what
shall be the sign of thy coming, and
the end of the world?" In reply Je
sus gave the disciples his Olivet dis
course and prophecies found in chap
ters 24 and 25. To fully comprehend
this parable wo ought to review all
of this teaching. The discourse as a
whole falls Into these parts (1) 24:1-44
deals with Israel as a nation; (2)
24:45-25:30 deals with the church as
being responsible for the king dur
ing the period between his two ad
vents; and (3) 26:31-46 deals with, the
Judgment of the nations when the Son
of Man comes In his glory. It will be
Been then that this lesson comes in
the second part and Is one of three
parables concerning the responsibil
ity of the church. Jesus is the bride
groom, John 3:28, 29; Eph. 5:25; II
Cor. 11:2; Rev. 21.9, and sets forth
the love of Christ for the church,
Eph. 5:25, 28, 30-32.
Two Classes.
I. "While the bridegroom tarried"
w. 1-5. The first and strongest Idea
of this section is that he, Jesus, the
bridegroom, is coming again. Among
those who wait are two classes, the
wise and the foolish, though both
were right lntentioned. The lamps
symbolize Christian profession, Luke
12:35; II Tim. 3:5, and the oil that
which is essential to give us power
whereby we maintain our profession,
Acts 10:38; I John 2:20-27. The fool
ish virgins were superficial and had
not enough to maintain their profes
sions. The wise virgins had enough
oil; so also may the believer have the
abiding spirit of Christ's presence
wherein to maintain his Christian
profession. Waiting they all nodded
(slumbered) and others evidently lay
down (slept). The wise virgins could
afford to rest as they had all things
ready. If they had been awake, how
ever, they might have seen and ren
dered aid to those who were In the
sorry plight of not being ready. The
tarrying was a test of the faith and
patience of both the wise and the
foolish as both awaited the "fulness
of time" when he should appear.
The Great Question.
II. Behold the bridegroom cometh"
vv. 6-13. All are awakened by this
midnight cry. The hour was one
when he was least expected, and the
church of today needs to be awak
ened to a realizing sense of this truth.
Both the wise and the foolish have to
meet him, but the wise were the only
ones whose lights could shine and
show the way Into the banqueting
room. They all outwardly appear alike
even to the very point of separation.
The church of God Individually and
collectively, has yet to sense the dan
ger to It and to others if its light for
any reason be not continuous. This
cry was a call to "meet him" and we
all need to aak ourselves, "are we
ready to meet him?" The hour was
too late to make needful preparation
to meet him. In their emergency they
turned to the five wise ones but the
wisdom of or.e cannot supply the de
ficiency or the foolishness of others
(v. 9). There is no Scripture to sup
port the teaching tljat one man's merit
Is applicable to another except the
merit of the God-man Jesus as ap
plied to sinful humanity. Hence the
wise sent their sisters to the orig
inal source of supply for oil, and as
they went "the bridegroom came." So
will it be with all who put off too long
the securing of the Holy Spirit in
their lives.
"They that were ready" went la,
they that were not ready when they
came found the door "shut" To at
tend a marriage feast is highly es
teemed everywhere, but it is a priv
ilege that is worthy of careful prep
aration. Remember that Jes.us is
here showing the attitude towards
himself of those, who i rof ess to be
devoted to him during the period of
bis absence, and who expect his re
turn as king. That being bo, we need
to remind ourselves of the laws of
the kingdom a he gave them.
Jesus knows those that are his,
John 10:27; II Tim. 2:19; I Cor. 8:3.
but such are not those who make a
mere outward profession of faith and
lack the abiding presence and power
of the Holy Spirit The day of sep
aration between the true and the false
is surely coming, a time when the
real, genuine. Spirit-filled Christians
will rejoice "at his coming."
The lesson for us Is "Watch." Be
cause we do not know the day nor the
hour when he will come, therefore,
"watch." This word does not mean
simply to look or to gaze but to keep
awake, to be vigilant

WILSON'S LEADERSHIP
By U. S. Senator Charles S. Thomas.
of Colorado.
Who are the great Presidents of the
United States, beginning with Wash
ington and ending with Woodrow Wil
son? Precisely those who, recogniz
ing the public needs, and keeping in
touch with the public conscience, have
stamped their individuality and their
influence upon national "legislation;
those who, perceiving the need of a
given policy, have had the courage to
advise and direct it; those who have
prompted Congress to the nprform-
ance of their duties as outlined in
their public declarations and as de
manded by the public needs; those
who have proven their claim to lead
ership by wisely and courageously as
serting it. We need but name Andrew
Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Theodore
Rosevelt and Woodrow Wilson is
types of those Presidents who, keep
ing close to popular sentiment, have
counseled wise and needed legislative
reforms, and have commanded, be
cause they earned, the popular ap
proval. I glory in the fact that the Presi
dent of the United States knows what
the people want, communicates with
Congress upon subjects of national
concern, and reminds its members of
the duty which rests upon them, and
calls upon them to perform it. The
President, is calling our attention to
needed legislation, keeping us in eom
musion both with what we were elect
ed to accomplish and what popular
opinion demands, is always abreast of
the times. He is abreast with, but
never behind, the people, and bears
with serene composure that criticism
and denunciation which pronounces
him a tyrant and an usurper and
which reproaches a Democratic Con
gress for complying with and con
forming to a common purpose. It is a
happy circumstanee that we have a
ruler who knows how to rule and a
leader who knows how to lead. Such
a man, I, for one, am willing to follow
and to aid as my poor abilities will
permit in the observance of a common
duty. We have had Presidents of the
United States who have been unequal
ta '.h?se suprerr.o i-oquremestj. Pres
idents who have misinterpreted popu
lar sentiment and ran counter to the
declarations upon which they were
elected; ar.d the people, a1 ways jut,
have never failed to relegate such ex
ecutives to the oblivion which they
have justly earned.
So long as the President of the
United States keeps in close contact
with the people, so long as he seeks to
interpret and obey the popular ex
pression cf of the popular will, so
long as he leads in the development
of needed legislation for the popular
good, just so long will the people sus
tain, and just so long will the Demo
cratic Congress command and follow
him. Thus far he has kept faith and
shows no sign of weariness in well
doing. ACUTE INDIGESTION
"I was annoyed for over a year by
attacks of acute indigestion, followed
constipation," writes Mrs. M. J. Galla
gher, Geneva, N. Y. "I tried every
thing that was recommended to me
for this complaint but nothing did me
much good until about four months
ago I saw Chamberlain's Tablets ad
vertised and procured a bottle of them
from our druggist. I soon realized
that I had gotten the right thing for
they helped me at once. Since taking
two bottles I can eat heartily without
any bad effects." Sold by all dealers.
OUR DUTY AS NEUTRALS
President Wilson never appeared to
better advantage than in his calm
words of counsel to the people of the
United States concerning their course
in the present crisis. It behooves us
as a nation to follow his advice and
share with him "the pride of feeling
that America if nobody else has her
self-possession and stands ready with
calmness of thought and steadiness of t
purpose to help the rest of the world.
FRENCH AND GERMAN WAR
SONGS
"The Marsellaise"
"The Marsellaise" was written by
Claude Joseph Rouget de Lisle, a
young French officer of engineers,
penned on the night of April 27, 1792.
It was written in Strasburg, the prin
cipal city which was taken by Ger
many in the war of 1870-71, and
around which the present conflict will
probably rage:
Ye sons of freedom, wake to glory!
Hark! hark! what myriads bid you
rise!
Your children, wives and granlsire3
hoary,
Behold their tears and hear their
cries!
Shall hateful tyrants, mischief breed
ing, With hireling hosts, a ruffian band,
Affright and desolate the land,
While peace and liberty lie bleeding?
To arms! to arms! ye brave!
The avenging sword unsheathe;
March on! march on! all hearts re
solved On victory or death.
Now, now the dangerous storm is roll
ing, Which treacherous kings confeder
ate raise;
The dogs of war, let loose, are howl
ing; And lo! our fields a:i,' ritips Maw.
And shall we basely view the ruin,
wnue lawless lorce, with guilty
stride,
Spreads desolation far and wide,
With crimes and blood his hands im
bruing ?
To arms! to arms! ye brave, etc.
O Liberty! can man resign thee,
Once having felt thy generous
flame ?
Can dungeons, bolts or bars confine
thee?
Or whips thy noble spirit tame ?
Too long the world has wept bewail
ing That falsehood's dagger tyrants
wield.
But freedom is our sword and
shield,
And freedom arts are unavailing,
To arms! to arms! ye brave, etc.
The Watch on the Rhine."
"The Watch on the Rhine" was
written by Max Schneckenburger, a
Wurtemburg manufacturere, in 1840,
when France was threatening the left
bank of the Rhine. It was set to music
by Carl Wilhelm, and during the
Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71 was
adopted as the national folk hymn and
rallying cry of the army:
A voice resounds like thunder-peal,
'Mid dashing waves and clang of steel ;
"The Rhine, the Rhine, the German
Rhine!
Who guards today thy stream divine ?
CHORUS
Dear Fatherland, no danger thine:
Firm stand thy sons to watch the
Rhine.
They stand, a hundred thousand
strong,
Quick to avenge their country's wrong
With filial love their bosoms swell,
They'll guard the sacred landmark
well!
The dead of a heroic race
From Heaven look down and meet
their gaze;
They swear with dauntless hearts, "O
Rhine,
Be German as this breast of mir.e!"
While flows one drop of German blood
Or sword remains to guard the flood,
While riflle rests in patriot hand
No foe shall tread thy sacred strand!
Our oath resounds, the river flows,
In golden light our banner flows,
Our hearts will guard thy stream di
vine: The Rhine, the Rhine, the German
Rhine!

ELErHANT BALL GAME
Of the many stunts performed by
the Sparks Circus herd of elephants
the one that probably gets the most
appreciation is the game of base ball
played by these mighty and unwield
ly pachaderms. Every play is gone
through with in the most ludicrous
manner, and the laughs furnished by
this number will remain as a pleasant
remembance of the circus.
All the accessories pitcher, batter,
catcher, umpire, fielders and their
gloces, masks, bats and uniforms are
present and "Big Mary" in the roll of
batter seldom misses a home-run
swat, and has thus established a 400
mark batting record for herself. Run
ning the bases and the slide to home
plate never fail to bring forth rounds
of applause and laughter from the
audience. Another funny situation is
when the pitcher has two strikes on
"Big Mary," he and the catcher get
into an animated argument over the
next ball to be served by the pitcher
and trumpet into each other's ears.
This little piece of by-play always
meets with the instant approval of
the audience and adds greatly to the
already funny number. This act was
presented to New York City's delight
ed millions last winter and came in for
more favorable newspaper comments
than any animal act seen there in re
lent years. This feature is positively
m the program of the Sparks World
Famous Shows, which are billed to
?xhibit here Friday, September 18.
