of the parable evidently represents
the Holy SDirit, while the lamps re-
present the Bible. The wise virgins
trimmed their lamps in response to
the Message. They examined the
Scriptures relative TO Christ's Second
Coming. Thus they had light in
their Lamps, as well as the Holy
Spirit in their hearts. Then the
foolish virgins said, Give us OF your
oil" We wish that we could be as
earnest at Bible study as you are,
but these things no longer deeply In
terest us.
However. there is but one way to
get the Holy Spirit, and that is from
the Lord Himself and upon His own
terms. In order to receive a fresh
supply we must look well to our
| Covenant with the Lord and to our
loyalty to the principles of righteous
ness. This costs something OF time
/ and study, of neglect of the things OF
/ this life. It means to forego strife
! for wealth and fame. 1t means to
live close to God. Hence the wise
virgins in no ungenerOus spirit adj

1t is this class that the parable des-
cribes.
ParOusia and EpiphaDia.
Many Bible students hold that this
parable began to be fulfilled in the
Milerite Movement, which in 1874
eliminated in disappointment. For
some fourteen years prior a cry had
gone forth throughout the Church
that Christ's Second Coming was at
hand. History relates that many no
hle characters OF all denominations
believed the Message and went forth
to meet the Bridegroom But the
Bridegroom tarried. Then all the
virgins, both wise and foolish, slum
bered and slept. Later, at midnight,
the Bridegroom came apparently;
and announcements were made TO
that effect Behold the Bridegroom!
Go ye forth to meet Him!"
An increasing number of Bible stu
dents believe that this latter cry
sounded forth just thirty years after
the disappointment. of Wm. Miller's
! followers; namely, in 1874 They do
not claim that Jesus came in the
flesh: on the contrary. they hold that
He will never come in the fesh-that
He is flesh no longer. but has ascen-
ded to where He was before-to the
spirit plane-far above angels.
These Bible students call attention
to the fact that the Bible distinctly
diferentiates between Christ's Parou-
sia and His Epiphania, at His Second
Coming. The word Parousia signifies
presence, without in any sense indica-
ting that the presence Is visible. The
word Epiphania signifies the reveal.
ing of one already present These
Bible students claim that in the enc
OF this Gospel Age Christ will be pre-.
sent invisible to men, during a periOC
of forty years doing a work in His

THE TEN VIRGINS.
Mnithew s5.I.Is-Sepi. l9.


swatch therefore; for ye know not the
day nor the hOur."-Yerse l3.
The parable of todays Study is
supposed to have been uttered by
our Lord about three days before the
crucihxion. as part OF Bis response
10 the question, What shall be the
sign of Thy Coming and Of the end
of the Age?" In the preceding chap
ter the Master traces various expert
ences of His people down to the time
of His Second Coming-the time OF
the consummation of this Age and
the inauguration Of tire Messianic
Age.
That this parable has not been ap-
plicable at all times and under all
conditions is shown by the fret
word. "Then"-at that time-"shall
the Kingdom of Heaven be likened
unto ten virgins" Furthermore, the
parable does not describe the world
ia general, but merely the virgin class
the Church-the pure ones who
have left the world. have come tc
God through Christ, have been justi'
ned through faith in His blood, anc
have thus been made prospective
members Of the Kingdom class-th'
Bride class. This parable shows
then, that in the end of this Age Z
division will take place in the true
Church Of Christ. regardless of wha
may be the attitude of the world ol
of the nominal Church.
With the Jews. a betrothal tool
place between Bride and Bridegroom
usually a year before marriage. Dur
ing that year the obligations of mar
riage applied; and any unfaithfulnes
to the bridegroom annulled the con
tract which was usually made, no
by the Bridegroom himself with tn
Bride. but through Intermediates
So, during this Gospel Age, a Churcl
