Many Bible students hold that this
parable began 10 have its fultilment in
the Millerite Movement. which in 1914
eliminated in disappointment. For
some fourteen years prior cry had
gone forth throughout the Church that
the Second Coming OF Christ was at
hand. History tells us that many no
bic characters OF all denominations be-
ieved the Message and went forth to
meet the Bridegroom But the Bride
groom tarried Then all the virgins
Slumbered and slept Later at mid
night. the Bridegroom came apparent
ly: and announcements were made to
that effect
An increasing number or Bible stu
dents believe that this latter cry sound
ell forth just thirty years after the dis
appointment Of VIM. Miller's followers:
namely. in 1874 They do not claim
that Jesus came in the flesh then: on
the contrary. they hold that He will
never come in the tiesh-that He Is
flesh no .Duger. that He his assembled
to the spirit piaue-far above angels
They call attention to the fact that the
Bible distinctly differentiates between
the Pagousia Of Christ and His Epipha.
MIA, at His Second Coming.
The word Parousia signifies presence.
without in any sense indicating that
the presence is visible. The word Epi.
phania signifies the revealing OF one
already present These Bible students
claim that In the end OF this Gospel
Age Christ will be present, invisible to
men, during a period Of forty years,
doing work especially in His Church
-rewarding the faithful servants, as
shown in the parallels OF the Pounds
and the Talents. and receiving the wise
virgins. as in this parable.
The Lamps and the oil.
The oil of the parable evidently rep
resents the Holy Spirit, while the
lamps represent the Bible. In response
to the Message, the wise virgins trim
med their lamps-searched the Scrip
lures Thus they had light in their
Lamps. as well as oil. the Holy Spirit,
in their hearts Then the foolish viz
gins said. "Give us Of your OIL"

and to live close to God. This Is the
cost OF the precious Oil.
Hence the wise virgins declared. in
no ungenerous spirit, that they had
none too much of the oil of the HOLY
Spirit for themselves. Then they ad.
yised their brethren who were de.
ncient to go to God, and to seek II nv
obedience to His Word, by searching
the Scriptures and by close following
OF the Masters leading in the narrow
way.
Meantime, the wise virgins went in
one after another-passing beyond the
veil. Then the door was shut Once
In our misunderstanding we thought
that this represented that the foolish
virgins and all the remainder of man.

INCOME TAX RESULTS.

Results of the first years operation
of the individual income tax shows a
wide gap between expectation and
fulfillment. On the smaller classes
of incomes the tax comes nearer ear
" estimates than on the larger; in
fact. the degree to which estimates
have been falsifed by facts increases
as incomes grow larger.
On incomes under $4,000 the
yield was s12,72s,OOO, against an
estimate of a little more than 3d.
100000.
Incomes between $4,000 and $50
900 yield s2,sS4.754. estimate s12,-
100000.
Incomes between $4,000 and
100000 yield sS,OOO.OOO; estimate
1,OOO.56O.
Incomes between 100000 and
s25O,OOO yield s3,s35.94s. estimate
s12. 100000.
Incomes between s25O.00O and
100000 yield s2,334,5S2 and those
above 100000 yield s3,437,S50
against an estimate of s16,O00,OOO
for all above s25O,00O.
The internal revenue bureau re-
ports a total of s71,3S1,274 for what
q calls income tax for the ten months
ending June 80, but it includes under
this head the corporation excise tax
of s1O,671,O77, corporation income
tax of s32.456,662 and individual IN
come tax of s2S,253,534. After due
allowance for the fact that the report
is for only ten months, the results
have still fallen far. short of expecta-
ton.
The disappointment is apparently
due to grave error in estimating the
tax on individual incomes, particu-
,arlv as to the largest. Those are de-
rived chiefly from corporate holdings
which are therefore exempt from IN
diyidual tax. By levying nat TAX
of l per cent on corporate profits
congress has exempted nearly all OF
the very individual incomes which II
sought to reach with the graduated
tax. II it wishes to follow out the
principle underlying every income tax
il will need to find some means OF
applying the graduated tax to corpo-
rate incomes.
Naturally the financial centers'
says the Oregonian, are raising the
cry of discrimination, because New
York pays nearly s1O,00O,000 OF the
s43,OOO,OOO of corporation taxes and
s12,522,797 of the s28,253,534 OF
individual income tax, and because
that state, Pennsylvania and Illinois
combined pay more than half the tax
of all three classes. But the purpose
of the law was to tax wealth in pro
portion to the holdings. Since those
three states have about half the
wealth, they must pay half the tax
1t is too late to complain of this effect
since the nation has adopted the prin
ciple.
