Matthew, 25.1-13. Golden Text—Watch, there- fore, for ye know not the day nor the hour.—Matthew, 25.13. BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. Probably never in all the history of birthday by |Christianity has there been a deeper interest taken by men of every faith than that which exists today con- cerning the return of the Lord. This, to0o, in spite of the fact that this sub- ject has to a large extent been dis- credited by speculative theories and false prophetic forecast which have no foudation in Scripture. When the Lord Jesus had completed His public ministry He turned toward His be- ioved disciples so that He might sup- ply them by His counsel and comfort with the courage which He recog- nized that they would need if they were to endure faithfully until the end of their days of trial. It was in answer to the questions of His apos- tles that He warned them against identifying His appearance with the coming or the rumors of war; of abounding iniquity and love waxing cold; of devotion to selfish interests or of exspecting His return in connec- tion with some great catastrophe. It was in reply to their queries that the Master gave expression to the mes- sage, a part of which furnishes our study this week, that covered the sec- ond advent. While the Lord’s return is certain and imminent, yet it would be pre- sumptuous in any one to fix a date for the coming again of the King. For four thousand years before Christ came the first time the world waited fpr Him, neglecting clear intimations rot only about His advent, but details in connection with His coming. This caused Him to come practically unno- cd and unrecognized by the men of Is there not the danger that humanity, after two thousand years of Christian history, may act toward the declara- tions of His return practically as they then? The New Testament terian Church the Sunday evening|abounds in teachings concerning His forum, “the inquiry room.” will be continued. This week the pastor will answer in his discourse as part of the evening worship, “The Im- pertinent Question.” the Young People’s meeting at 6:45 will be Rev. George de Salaj, his sub- ject being “Rumania.” The motion picture, “Miracle Money,” will be shown in the assembly room of this church Thursday evening. * X x *x “Bahal House,” 1301 porthwest, will be public tomorrow: afternoon at 3:30 o'clock. Bahal services will be held at this hour each week, and there will be study meetings on Wedne: day and Saturday evenings at 8:15 o'clock.

The speaker of | Men today are asking when shall these things be? They are overlook- ing the unmistakable teachings of the cripture, which, while they assure us that we will not know the day or hour, indicate conditions that will precede His return to rule the na- tions. While .we are called upon to pursue a watchful, waiting policy and work, while we wait the Lord's return, there are certain indications that are worthy of men’s consideration at this very mo- ment. The gospel has been preached among all nations (Matt., 24.14. Many think that the world war fulfills the prophecy of Haggal of how Jehovah declared: “Yet once again I will shake all nations, and the desire of all na- tions shall come.” Palestine has been taken from the Mohammedans and a few weeks ago the son of the distin. guished English Jew who rules Pales- tine was married in Jerusalem. This causes some to ask if the day of the gentile, predicted by the Lord, has ended and the day of the Jew has come again, for He said: “Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the gentiles until the times of the gentiles be fulfilled.” There exists a national vitality among the Jews of all nations such as no other age has ever witnessed, which indicates His coming is nigh. It is a period of lawlessness (Matt., 24.23) as well as Daniel predicted. Peter spoke of the last times as a period when scoffers would appear “walking lusts, and saying, “Where is the promise of His coming? ‘“‘men would be Ras recently organized a senior and |lovers of pleasure mors than of God,” Sunior Christian Endeavor Society for | which characterises modern times, which e young peogle of the church and]are also marked by an unwillingness to community, At a recent business'lsten to sound docuine turning away ] $i S ANNA THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

Au invitation is issued to the public to attend the lectures. —_——— SHOW PLIGHT OF NATIVE CHRISTIANS IN ORIENT Conditions among Christian natives in the orient and the food crisis in China were presented to members of the Woman's Interdenominational Missionary Union at a meeting in observance of the universal day of prayer for world-wide missions yes- terday aftcrnoon in the Mount Vernon Place M. E. Church South. The ~four _thirty-minute periods were led by Mrs. Earle Wilfley, Mrs. John Newton Culberson, Miss Mary J. Wright and Mrs. Ellis Logan. Dr. Paul S. Reinsch of the China famine relief committee, asking help for starving millions in that country, and Miss Marcella Syn, a_Chri Korean, told of sufferings of Chri natives in that nation as a result of Japanese oppression. Other addresses were delivered by Mrs. John H. Young, representing the women's missionary committee of the Federation of Churches; Mrs. Cabot Stevens of the Near East Relief com- mittee, Mrs. John S. Bennett, who pre- sented needs of local missions; Miss E. C. Carter, representing the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A. of this city, and Rev. C. G. Chappell. D.D.. who spoke on “The Power of Prayer.” The union voted to co-operate with the Korea Relief Society and with the Federation of Churches in buying Chinese famine relief stamps. PRESBYTERIAN CONFERENCE. An important conference for min- isters and laymen of the Presbyterian churches of Washington will be held in New York Avenue Presbyterian Church Friday evening. Rev. A. F. McGarragh of New York city, expert on modern methods of church man- agement, will conduct the conference in the interest of an every member canvass to be put on in Washington on some Sunday of March. from the truth. He also pointed out that in the latter times “men shall give heed to seducing spirits and the doc- trine of devils.” It is of just such hours of darkness, despair and doubt that Christ called for His followers not only to endure but also to ‘be ye also ready” for His return. In the preceding chapter of Mat- thew’s gospel the duty of waiting for the return of the absent Lord was emphasized. In that chapter Jesus makes the definite statement at least six times that He s coming again. The early churches were knowa as stargazers because they were locking upward constantly to the heavens to see signs of His return. The second advent of Christ is to be a personal return of the ascended Jesus. He as- sured. His disciples in the preceding chapter that He would come swiftly, visibly and " unexpectedl 1f the parable of the ten virgins contributes anything to the details of His coming, it is that He shall return personally and joyously, which comes out of the word “picture of the bridegroomfs coming. The Old Testament, upon the surface, appears to teach only one coming of the Messial, but in the light of the explanation of Christ Jesus, men have come to see that it also contains prophecies of both the first and second comings. This para- ble assumes the absence from the earth of the Lord, who_zlthough ab- sent in the body, is present in the spirit, for He sent the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, and through Him the risen Savlor guldes His church. 8 statement, “While the bride- Broom tarried,” which Is truly sei- ental, hints to the delay of His return and the fact that “they all slumbered and slept” indicates the state of the Lord’s friends when He returns, that caused Him to urge upon them that they “be ready” to go out amnd meet Him when at midnight the ory is heard, “Behold, the bridegroom cometh, €0 ye out to meet him.” Thera is no reason for one trying to seareh out the hidden meaning of each bit of drapery of this parable. Calvin has well said: “Some expositors tor. ment themsclves greatly in explain. Ing the lamp, the vessels and the oil: but the simple, genuine meaning. of the whole is just this, that it js not enough to have a lively zeal for 4 while. We must add to this a perse. verance that never tires” We are net only to wait and watch for His eom. ing, but to work to hasten His King. dom. ~ This parable calls por a pes.

Five were careless con. cerning their personal relationship tg the absent Lord. They were not tg be star gazers, but should have been prepared by life, labor and love for His return. Our readiness for the King’s return involves the expectancy of true love for the Bridegroom ex. pects this from His bride. In an. other place Jesus refers to His com- ing as “your Lord,” and this implies that He looks for obedlence in His servants. The Master of the house when He returns expects to find that His stewards have labored with a practical fidelity. He also speaks of His coming as that of “the Son of Man,” and by this inference it shows that He expects purity in His breth- ren. The qualities of personal pre- paredness are love, fidelity, obedience and purity. No man can live such a life unless he enjoys the indwelling life of Christ Jesus in his own heart. Five were found, although they pro- fessed and looked to be friends of the bridegroom, to be without oil, which, according to the symbolism of the Scriptures, meant that they were without the grace of the Holy Spirit, which could not be supplied by the others, when they found that they lacked ft. ‘This is the great lesson of the para.
