No Suggestion Of Threat.
Now 1 would not have any of the
class to get the idea that there is in
this lesson the slightest suggestion Of
a threat, or even of unforgiveness in
this parable. Without some knowledge
of the facts you might feel that way
about it. and you would do yourself
grave injustice. Y3a must remember
that they did not have any police sys-
tenn in those days such as we have In
most civilized countries now. People
travelling at night travelled in large
parties for protection. A few travelling
together were likely to be attacked.
When the bridal party entered the
home of the bridegroom the doors were
shut, to keep, out intrnders while the

was no provision for opening the doors
to late comers, and it was not well to
take chances on the admission OF any
who might be thieves and robbers.
Those who had knocked after the doors
were shut were allowed to remain out
simply because it would not have been
safe to admit them and that was un-
derstood.
But the doors of this kingdom stand
open to all who wish to qualify them
selves to enter. The qualifications for
entrance consist Of something more
than temporary enthusiasm. The can
didates must not only provide them-
selves with lamps but they must sec
to it that they have plentiful! supply
of oil-enough oil to last until the end
of the journey with bright enough
light to ensure their identification and
acceptance.

THE BASIS OF PEACE.

Marshal Foch, aside from being a great soldier pos.
sesses the Frenchman's felicity of expression. We
would scarcely expect to find the warrior and the
philosopher in the same person, yet the Chicago ad-
dress of our distinguished visitor confirms him such
unexpected combination.
Two of his -epigrammatic statements proclaims him
"Peace-we shall have It soon on the same condi-
ton that we got war. We must fight for it in the
moral sphere as we did in the physical sphere. Peace
has been promised from the first night of Christianity
only to men of good will.
Good will must be in the bottom of the heart; with
out it, it is only a sham peace"
1t may all be familiar, but how often forgotten, this
message to the world at the birth of Christ?
The marshal has recalled to us the basis Of all
peace.

mi A LossEs.

Involuntary idieness by workmen in this country
between July. 1920, and August, 1921" reports the
Chicago Journal Of Commerce, cost them the pro-
digious sum Of Sc, 1905 900, 600 in wages lost to them
forever-enough to build three million homes worth
more than $4,000 each for the families of laboring
men.
1t was caused by the shutting down of great mills and
industrial plants, the paralysis Of building trades, the
excessive demands for high wages everywhere, and
the refusal of the public to buy manufactured prod
ucts at ruling high costs.
"The losses estimated were not figured at peak
wages, but on normal pay levels by experts of the un-
employment conference.
"In the face of such losses to labor because of in
tolerable conditions which have frozen industrial en-
terprise and restricted manufactures and freight
movements to absolute necessities, men who have jobs
which promise a living during the winter months would
be doing an inconceivably foolish and tragic thing to
press further burdens on business"
