The parable does not show how the
foolish Virgins, excluded from" tbe
wedding and from membership in the
Bride class, will be treated. Other
Scriptures, however, show that this
foolish virgin class will share with tbe
world in a great time of trouble, which
will then come to every nation. In
that time of trouble these foolish vir-
gins will suffer severely and “Wash

lost his revolver and continued his trip without weapons, which he says are

Tbe following explains itself:

4j™?HE Great Teacher in today’s
v Study tells us further about
bls glorious Messianic King-
dom and concerning those who will
be accounted worthy to share it
with him—as hla Bride. This para-
ble has not been of general application
all through this Gospel Age. It ap-
plies merely at tbe close of the Age—
at the present time, we believe. It
does not take Into consideration tbe
world, nor even tbe nominal Church,
but solely, only, the true Church, the
Virgin class. The word “virgin” signi-
fies pare, and In using this term the
Lord Implies that he is referring only
to those who have been justified, by
faith and consecration, because by na-
ture none are pure; none are holy;
none are virgins.
Five Wieo—Five Foolish
One of tbe special lessons of tbe par-
able is to show that amongst tbe pure,
the wise, the consecrated people of
God, there are two classes. For a time
these will be all together—unseparat-
ed. But lu the fulfilling of this para-
ble certain circumstances and condi-
tions and truths will develop and sep-
arate these two classes of saints, vir-
gins.
The parable shows all the virgins as
sleeping, waiting for tbe coming of the
Bridegroom. Apparently, there is no
difference; but really there io a differ-
ence—the wise had a larger supply of
oil than bad the foolish. Then eame
an announcement of tbe presence of
tbe Bridegroom and a call to go forth
to meet him. This Implies that some-
thing from the prophetic Word at the
appropriate time will call tbe attention
of all the Virgin class
of Messiah. But at tbe Second Advent
It will be as it was at the First Ad-
venL when John said to Jesus, “Be-
hold there standeth one among you
whom ye know not." We are not to
expect the Second Coming of Christ in
the fleoh, but as a spirit being.
We are to remember that the Scrip-
tures outline two distinct features con-
nected with the Second Coming. First
will come the parouoia or “presence”
of tbe Lord, recognizable only by the
Wise and Foolish Virgins. In bis
parouoia or “presence" be will test and
prove his Church, dividing them into
wise and foolish virgin classes—the
wise virgins to become tbe Bride class
and the foolish virgins to become the
class who will experience a second
grade of salvation—coming up out of
great tribulation and becoming the
Bridesmaids, so to speak, “the virgins,
the Bride’s Companions, who follow
I after her" (Psalm xlv, 14). These will

“No wonder!" "Boyd laughed.
“I wish I were a man.” she went on
"I’d like to engage In u business of th' -
sort, something that would require In
genulty and daring. I’d like to handle
big affairs.”
“There is your copper mine. You
surely handled that very cleverly.”
Cherry's expression altered, and she
snot a quick glance at him as be went
on.
“How is it coming along, by the
way? I haven’t heard you mention It
lately.”
“Very well, 1 believe. The men were
down the other day and told me It
was a big thing.”
"I'm delighted,
to be rich?”
"I—I hardly know. Rich! That has
always been my dream,'and yet”—
“The wonderful feature about
dreams,” he took advantage of her
pause to say, "is that they come true.”
"Not all of them—not the real, won-
derful dreams,” she returned.
“Oh, yes! My dream Is coming true,
and so is yours.” “
