Hoyt f Life is real, life is earnest, so the ; s poet has told us; and if we are to ; make a success of our journey I i through this vale of tears, we must 8 be prepared for emergencies and have the strength of characters to 0 meet all situations as they arise. ’• Jesus exemplified this fact well, ' indeed, when he told the parable 1 of the ten virgins who awaited the I coming of the bridegroom. Five foolish virgins brought only a small amount of oil for their lamps. Five | wise virgins brought an extra sup-j ply. And those who had the fore-i sight of preparedness attended the I wedding feast, while those who 1 dilly-dallied by the way were left I outside, barred from the festivities.; Life is to be taken seriously. Christianity is to be taken seriously if it is to be accepted at its real value and if we are to follow its tenets as we should. We cannot let each day take care of itself nor can we shift along, careless and uncomprehendingly. For success in life and success in religion depend upon preparedness. We must plan our lives not with ; our own selfish interests always in i view but with the idea of helping | others and with being an aid to ( those in trouble and to the com- [ munity in general. In our business ; dealings, we should inject the kind- ; ly rules of Christianity and see to ; it that we practice what is preach-1 ed to us as our religion. In our : family life, and the intimate circles ’ of the household, there must be a plan for the future, for religious j welfare as well as for temporal suecess. Preparedness in all things means ; success in all things. Not like the : five foolish virgins who burned; their lamps in vain need we waste our efforts of living, but like the I i five wise handmaidens who plan- ' ned ahead and met emergencies I should we carry on, confident that the future will bring us the sue-1 cess we have earned,

Jesus told them of the passing of all worldly things and of the coming of the kingdom of heaven. And to point his moral, he related to them the parable of the ten virgins, five of whom were wise and five of whom were foolish. The scene was a Hebrew wedding of that day and the ten virgins were waiting for the bridegroom to come from his home to claim his bride.

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON FOR MAY 20, 1934 Matthew 24:1-25:30.

' ■ Sunday School ? QUESTIONS ? The Wise and Foolish Virgins QUESTIONS 1. When and where did Jesus relate the parable of this lesson? 2. How did he come to speak ' it? 1 3. What is a parable? 4. On what custom did he base ’ it? 1 5. Why is the number ten mentioned here? 6. Who were the five foolish and the five wise virgins? 7. 'What happened to them? 8. What was the result? 9. What point did Jesus wish to make by this parable? 10. What other parable is included in this lesson? ANSWERS J 1. Incidents related in today's I lesson took place on Tuesday. ..April 4, 30 A.D., following immediately upon those described in i the les.-on of a week ago. . I 2. As Jesus and his disciples i left the temple, the group admired • the building. Jesus foretold its destruction and the many things that were to befall before the. I coming of the kingdom of God. Then he spoke the parable of the ten virgins. 3. A parable is a short story from which conclusions can be . drawn by comparing the characters and incidents with events at . hand. It is a common method of teaching in oriental countries. > 4. In a ceremonial Hebrew j wedding, it was the custom of the : bridegroom and his train to come • to the home of the bride to fetch her to the wedding feast. The ten \ j virgins were awaiting the ap- . proach of the bridegroom to join in the procession, as was the i , custom. > 5 ' Ten was the customary num- , ber of virgins who attended the: bridegroom on such an occasion. ; 6. Five foolish virgins came j ; with their lamps filled. Five wise ! ’ : virgins came with their lamps J , | filled and an additional supply of oil. In the event of having to i wait, they had a sufficient supply! to replenish their lamps if they: burned out. 7. The bridegroom and his r train tarried until midnight. The virgins slept. When the approach-' ' ing procession awakened them. ’ the five foolish virgins found' ■ their lamps burned out, nor did ■ they have oil to replenish the ■ ! lights. J' 8. The five wise virgins refill- | ed their lamps, joined the procesI sion and were admitted to the i feast with the procession. But | when the five foolish virgins had ; ■ found oil and reached the house, | 1 the gates were closed against 5 j them and they were barred out 1 with the uninvited curiosity seek- ' ers. 1 9. That the kingdom of heaven • is ever near. None knows when • the opportunity to seize upon it r may be at hand. Therefore, like >!the wise virgins, be prepared. 10. Jesus at this time also' , I spoke the parable of the talents.; . o— Zion Lutheran Church Paul W.

As the bridegroom and his friends passed down the street, they were joined by others, bearing torches. Now while the bridegroom tarried with his friends, the ten virgins waited his coming with burning lamps. But some only filled their lamps while others brought extra oil. When the bridegroom came at last, the foolish virgins found their lamps extinguished.

So the foolish virgins were unable to join the procession, while the wise virgins mingled with the merrymakers, waving their lighted lamps, and were admitted to the marriage feast. When those with unlighted lamps arrived, they were refused admission. “Watch hterefore, for ye know not the day nor the hour," was the moral pointed by Jesus as to the time of the coming of heaven.
