LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 13
THE TEN VIRGINS.
I ? ?? #
LEPSOX TJOXT Matt. ?.1:1-13.
G' tl.DlCN TEXT?"Watch therefore for
ye know neither tie? day nor the lic.ur
iu When the Son of Man cometh." Matt.
25:j3.
A parable is "an earthly story with
a heavenly meaning." An analogy is
"a likeness." This storv is a nnrahle
It is to illustrate the vigilant, expectant
attitude of faith. Heb. 6:28; II
i, Tim. 4:8. Leaving the temple, Jesus
drew the disciples' attention to its
buildings and predicted its destruction.
Proceeding to the Mount of
Olives, his disciples ask hint, "Tell us.
when shall these things be? And what
shall be the sign of thy coining, and
the eiyl of the world?" In reply Jobus
gave the disciples his Olivet discourse
and prophecies found in chapters
24 and 25. To fully comprehend
this parable we ought to review all
of this teaching. The discourse ns a
whole falls into these parts (I) 24:1-44
deals with Israel as a nation; (2)
21:45-25:20 deals with the church as
being responsible for tho king during
the period between his two advents;
and (3) 25:31-46 dculs with the
judgment of the nations when the Son
of Man comes in his glory. It will be
seen then that thiH lesson comes in
tlit: second part and is one of three
parables concerning tho responsibility
of the church. Jesus is the bridegroom,
John 3:28. 29; Kph. 5:25; II
Cor. 11:2; Rev. 21.9. and sets forth
tho love of Christ for tho church,
Kph. 5:25, 28. 30-32.
Two Classes.
I. "While the bridegroom tarried"
vv. 1-5. The first and strongest idea
of this section Is that he, Jesus, tho
nriciegroom, is coming again. Among
those who wait are two classes, the
wise ami the foolish, though both
were riglit intctitioned. The lamps
symbolize Christian profession, Luke
12:2~>; II Tim. 3: a, and the oil that
which is essential to give us power
whereby we maintain our profession,
Acts 10:38; 1 John 2:20-27. The foolish
virgins were superficial and had
not enough to maintain their professions.
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 ;\11 nodded
(slumbered) and others evidently lay
down* (slept). The wise virgins could
afford to rest as tlioy had all things
ready. If they had been awake, however,
they might have seen and rendered
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 "fulnesy
of time" when ho 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 ho was least expected, and the
church of today needs to be awakened
to a realizing sense of this truth.
Both the wise and the foolish have to
meet him, but the wise were the only
oim'S whose lights could Hhine 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 danger
to it and to others If its light for '

cry was a call to "meet him and we .
.nil need to ask 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 wiso one:, but the '
wisdom of one cannot supply the deficiency
or tlio foolishness of others ^
t v. 0). There is no Scripture to support
the teaching that one man's merit J
is applicable to another except the J j.
merit of the God-man Jesus a: up-!
plied to sinful humanity, llei.ee the
wise sent their sisters to the original
source of supply for oil, and as .
th y wont "the bridegroom cauio." So ^
will it be with all who put ofT too long f

Tho idealist sees the things of earth
is they are, hni also as they ought to
