By VIM E. GIIROY, D. D., Editor of Advance

Among the effective illustTnt tons of tho Kingdom of heaven none was more vivid or striking than that of tho 10 virgins with tho 10 lamps, going forth to meet the bridegroom,
 Tho lamps were of no use with. out oil and it might have been supposed that oil would be tho HrBt confederation, but let my reader who ha8 ever been stalled on tho highway with m auto out of gas cast n stone ht the foolish virgins.
 The virgins wore fair types of ordinary people and it wng not remarkable that one.half of them were 50 slnck as to go forth with their lamps without oil. So It was that, ng ths bridegroom was late, they had falion asleep.
 When they were aroused to meet him, the i've wise virgins lighted their lamps md went forth, but the foolish virgins were put 10 shame, for their lamps had gono out and there was no time for them to go md buy moro oil, though they went 10 sock It. The bride- groom came while they were gone, md the door wns shut.
