tCOntinued From Page One) Matthew. He explained that the Ea9i- ous parables were pictures used by the Savior to illustrate certain cond tfons as seen from different points ot view, just the same as an architect would have a number of pictures or blue prints made showing d building or piece of machinery, and that it would not be fair to say that any one of the parables represented all that Jesus meant 10 teach concerning his kingdom any more than it would be to take the picture of one section of a piece of machinery and conclude that that was all there was to it. The ten virgins represented large company of people who Were expect ing to attend the marriage of the King $ son. No definite date had been set for the wedding, but all were look ing forward to it with much pleasure No one intended to be left out. The wise ones kept their lamps filled and trimmed, ever ready for the call, but five, or about one-balf the people, were negligent or foolish. Not know ing the exact date, they put off from time to time the necessary prepara- tion, They were so busy attending to their worldly affairs that when at last the call came their lamps were empty and they were shut out from the feast. And so it is with the world The Mas ter has said: 'Ye know not what hour your Lord doth come" The peo- pie want to be saved; they expect to be saved, but many are so busy mak- ing money or attending to their vari- ous worldly interests that when they are called their lamps will be empty how much their Christian friends may want to see them saved, it will not be possible for them to divide their oil. No man can live Christianity for his brother; he can only live enough for his own salvation
 Reverend Hadodck pointed out that the people represented by the five foolish virgins were not wicked peo- pie; their sin was not premeditated; they fully intended to be present at the marriage feast, but by their care lessness and procrastination they were shut out

 At the evening service Miss Cline sang a solo, and her clear, and sWeet-tCned voice carried the melody and pathos of the beautiful hymn straight to the hearts of all present.

scrfptural quotations and received a hearty response from the audi ence. after which he read from his text. ohn 11:39-t4. The subject of his discourse Was Gods HarMori- Ous Law
 Mr. Haddocll said that great many people were withholding their influence from Christianity claim lh% there We're sn many thin4s abont it which they could not 'm- derstand, yet tteT would aeeega other things every day which they could not explain and abou which they know absolutely nothing: fol instance, electricity.
 He said Jesus commanded the stone to be rolled away from the tomb of Laza1H4 because He never does anything for man that man can dc, and that fs why ill one plaec He teaches his disciples to plal for daily bread and in another that man must labor. He said that God gave Us laws governing what wc call the natural world and that these laws are parallel 10 the law of grace. The syne God that maSa one made the other. We find some people who study very carefully in order that they may find ont causes and effects ill inc natural world. but when they came to the spiritual world shut their eyes.
 A man will claim to understand the ordinary method of making wine, but cannot understand the extraordinary manner in which Jesus changed the water into wine at the marriage feast. Yet this man will plant little grape seed and go away and leave it. After awhile it sprouts and begins to grow. then it blossoms and the fruit gradually takes form and grows and ripens, so that when he Tetu1ns ,he finds countless little bottles of the purest wine and he can no more explain how it was made than he can the miracle per formed by the Savior.
 Mr. Paddock said that there was great deal of excitement few years ago because it was thought that science was about to over throw the Bible and religion, but that today the scientific world recognizes the great truths taught in the Bible and acknowledges the harmony existing between spiritual law and the laws governing what they are pleased to call the natural world. His sermon was forcible and pointed.

There are many strong points urged by the socialists. We have no words of condemnation for the fearless leaders of socialism, because we believe that they are patriotic and earnestly working for the betterment of mankind. If their motives are good they do not deserve censure, even if they are wrong. And we believe they are wrong in this, that their doc Urine is revolutionary and beyond the necessities of reformation They invade the domain of indi vidualism.

Walter was SO greatly superior to him In
