CHARACTER NOT TRANSFER
ABLE

O11AnAC4G NO4 nkAXN De EN-.
ABLE
Why did not the wise virgins divide
their oil with the foolish ones? For
the same reason that no one can take
the patience which he possesses and
hand over q part Of it to the one who
has not patience of his own. For the
same reason that your courage be put
into the heart, of the coward. You
can sympathize with the unfortunate
and help them with money and goods
but character is not transferable. The
father of the headstrong, reckless.
dissolute boy would be glad to share
his sobriety, integrity and love of hard
work with his son, but it is impossi-
BILE. If he could dip his hearts blood
and transfer his character to his son
in that fashion he would gladly do so,
but it would be Of no avail. Spirit
ual adequacy is a purely personal
matter. "And the door was shut"
Evidently, there comes time it is too
late to seek for the adequate supply.
Late, late, so late! And dark the
night and chill;
Late, late, so late! but we can enter
still.
Too late, too late! Ye cannot
enter now.
No night light had we; for that we do
repent;
And learning that, the Bridegroom
will relent.
Too late, too late! Ye cannot
enter now.
No light! So late! and dark and chill
the night!
Oh, let us in, that we may find the
light!
Too late! too late! Ye cannot
enter now.
Have we not heard the Bridegroom is
so sweet?
Oh, let US in, that we may kiss his
feet!
Too late, too late! Ye cannot
enter now. ;

A MARRIAGE CUSTOM IN
PALESTINE

One of the wedding custom in
Christ's time included company of
young women who welcomed the home
coming of the bridegroom with songs
and dances. They were notified to
gather in some well-known place and
on a given signal go out to meet the
wedding party with flaming torches
and conduct him to the nuptial feast.
In this lesson the Master draws pic
ture of such an event. There were
ten virgins in the company. For some
reason there was delay so long con-
tinued that all the watchers fell
asleep. 1t was not until midnight that
the sleepers were awakened with the
shout; "Behod, the bridegroom COM
eth!" Then they all sprang up to
trim their lamps, when to their con-
sternation, five of the Attendants dis
covered that their lights had burned
out, and they had no reserve with
which to replenish them. They could
not borrow from those who had only
enough for their own use, it was too
late to buy, and while they broke
out into wailings over their fatal
lack, the bridegroom came, the wise
virgins went in to the banqueting
hall with him, and the door was shut.
In such dramatic language our Lord
points out the testing of the storage
capacity of the wise and foolish vir-
gins:
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1921-02-16
THE CHIEF DIFFERENCE IN
THE VIRGINS

The chief difference here is not that
five were sincere and five were hypo-
critics. The fact is there are very few
deliberate hypocrites in the world.
The difference between people gener-
ally is that some take call of duty
seriously and others lightly and care
lessly. The foolish virgins did moth
ing wicked-they did not stone the
wedding procession, criticise the bride,
insult the bridegroom, f1out the invi-
tations, scott at the feast, or steal the
refreshments. They simply failed to
make sure of an adequate prepara-
tion-they had no reserve force in the
time of testing. Their lamps were
not equipped to last until midnight
and wise folks see to it that there is
oil enough in reserve for an emergen-
cy. They prepare for unexpected con-
tingencies; they may not need to use
what they have in store, but if it is
necessary, they are prepared.

THE CHARACTERS CONTRAsTEI

There was only one respect in which
these virgins differed; namely. their
storage capacity, their reserve power.
They have the same name, virgins !;
they wear the same dress; they are on
the same errand; they all have lamps !;
they all heve vessels; they all slum-
Der and sleep. They had complete
externalism, a beautiful externalism,
prolonged externalism, but fveAof
them had deceptive externalism, and
an unavailing externalism. In other
words, when the crisis came five of
them had oil enough in their vessels;
with their lamps to carry them
through, and five of them had empty
oil cans, and their lights had gone
out.

1000 Eggs
in Every Hen
New System of Poultry Keeping-Get
Dollar A Dozen Eggs-Famous
Poultryman
L HOW

THE great trouble with the poultry
business has always been that the lay
ing life of a hen was too short" says
Henry Trafford. International Poultry
Expert and Breeder, for nearly eighteen
years Editor of Poultry Success.
The average pullet lays $50 eggs. If
kept the second year. she may lay 100
more. Then she goes to market. Yet. 1t
has been scientifically established that
every pullet is born or Matched with over
system-and will lay them on a highly
profitable basis over a period Of four to
six years time If given proper care.
How to work to get 1000 eggs from
every hen; how to get pullets laying
early; how to make the old hens lay like
pullets; how to keep up heavy egg pro-
duction all through cold winter months
when eggs are highest; triple egg produc-
profit from every hen in six winter
making poultry secrets are contained in
Mr.. Trafford's 81 900 EGG HEN system
of poultry raising. one copy of which will
be sent absolutely free to any reader of
this paper who keeps six hens or more.
Eggs should go to a dollar or more a
dozen this winter. This means big profit
TO the poultry keeper who gets the eggs.
Mr.. Trafford tells how. If you keep
chickens and want them to make money
for you. cut out this ad and send 1t with

SET FORTH POLICY
Indicate Economy Will BE
Practiced in County Affairs.

Announcement today was made by
County Commissioner Carlin Shank and
President Lewis George of the policy for
1921
Mr.. shank outlined the 1921 policy of
the commissioners as follows:
"To complete all hard service roads
now under process Of construction as well
as those for which contracts have been
awarded
ITO allow no new road contracts un-
less an emergency demands immediate
improvement.
ITO pay off 100000 on the Courthouse
indebtedness
ITO attempt to arrive ut a definite pol
icy on the future Of Julietta, the county
hospital for incurable insane"
In discussing the condition Mt Julietta,
Commissioner Shank said:
"Julietta Is now overCrowded, so much
so that beds must be pulled out at night
to enable inmates to get into bed, 1t
seems impossible to get the State to
take action to enlarge the Central Hos
pital for the Insane so we can do away
with Julietta, and It now seems possible
that the county will be called upon to
enlarge the place with the view of max
ing it a permanent institution
The commissioners will meet with rep
resentatives Of the Marion County Tax
payers League Jan. Ia, to discuss the
1921 policy of the. board The league has
asked that the connty refrain from order
ing any new hard road improvements
while the prices of material remains at a
high figure.
