WORLD HEADY ID STUDY DEEP TRUTHS Dramatic Farewell Admonition of Jesus Is the Sunday Lesson ARE WE READY FOR GOD? Story Touches Upon Our Prepara tion For Both Life and Death RBAPY fob the crisis The International Sunday School Ives f»n For September IS Is "The Ten Virgins."—Matt. 25:1-13. (By William T. Bills) Amid the crash of empires we are called upon to consider one of the most dramatic of the farewell admo nitions of Jesus. The pertinency of the present parable is in the Jnlnd of every member of the Sunday School that uses the International, Lessons. Sobered, chastened, awed men and women to-day are ready to study the deeper truths of life; and to '®nd an attentive ear to hear what the Master of us all has to say concern ing ultimate things. The closing utterances of Jesus had to do with the Kingdom of Heaven —that kingdom which has out lasted all empires and still moves for ward in its benetlcient way through all the shocks to human institutions. Mere we face a subject that is vaster than this overwhelming war, that is to-day engrossing the world s thought. . Myriads of Christians are asking themselves whether the present world upheaval protends the con summation foretold by Jesus. All of us are solemnized by an interna tional catastrophe without parallel in human history. Whatever ones views of the judgment, it is certain tha this war is the end of all things earthly for myriads of men. Small wonder, therefore, that it is a pro found spiritual experience for still larger hosts of the living. The Sufficient Preparation When we arc ready for God, we are ready for anything. That is the inclusive truth of the great parable of the Wise and Foolish \ lrgins. They who go to meet the bridegroom joyous and unashamed, fear nothing else; at peace with Him. they are at peace with all the world. Here the lesson truth strikes down deep into every man's philosophy of life. There is absolutely no other satisfaction possible to human nature equal to the surpassing peace of preparedness for the presence of God. Every crisis teaches the su premacv of things spiritual. When the storm of unexampled war broke over Europe, it drove the nations to their knees. Even irreligious France turned to prayer. Kings and councils called their people to supplicate before the throne of Heaven. Inevitably the war has set people to thinking of the God who was before all, and Is over all, and will be after all. When right with Him, men are right with all the world. There is no other disaster equal to the disfavor of the Intinite. The Ten Maidens Because the greatest truths may be mirrored In the humblest happen ings, Jesus set forth His wonderful teaching of the last days of the fa miliar story of an Oriental wedding, and of the ten maidens who wore to help give joyous welcome to the wedding party. Of these ten, five were wise and five were foolish; for only five had laid by any store of the oil needed to make the wedding illumination. The parable is one of preparation. There Is no need to point out any analogy to present world events; every one must do that lor himself. The story touches upon our prepa ration for life, as well as our prepa ration for death; it is a truth for every day, as well as for the last great day; it serves to make charac ter for youth, as well as to afford consolation for age; It makes vivid the Master's oft-repeated exhorta tion. "Be ye also ready." That is the most practical motto for the boy or girl starting out in life; and it is the most spiritual counsel for the aged person waiting death's sum mons. v Too Late, Too Late" Somewhere I have read of a paint ing that merely showed a shut door, that was all; but the artist conveyed to the imagination the impression that that door stood for separation and finality. History is full of tragic regrets of those who have arrived too late at their opportunity. We see even such an empire-builder as Cecil Rhodes crying on his death-bed, "So much to do; so little done!" Queen Elizabeth's shrieks offers of a regal bounty for only a minute of time as she stared into the pitiless eyes of death as it drew nigh. Let us get firmly into our thinking the truth that there comes a day when we must cry "Too late!" opportunities pass; occasions are not abiding. In the affairs of business; in mat ters of pleasures; in the vaster con cerns of the spiritual realm, there surely approaches an hour when in vitation and opportunity rejected ex ist no more; the grace of God is no longer heard knocking at the heart's door: the hour for filling the lamps of service and of happiness has passed. Tennvson repeats the refrain in his "Idylls of the King;" " '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.' M "No 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 Glorious Relief!

" The Thing* Which Cannot Bo Shared The five wise virgins who had to use their own store of oil, even as every one of us Is steward of his own gifts, have often been criticised for not sharing what they had with their heedless sisters. There are some things which cannot be shared. In this case it was better for the honor of the wedding party that five lamps should burn brightly throughout, than that ten should shine for but a little while, leaving the feast in un timely darkness. Be it remembered that the whole episode was for the honor of the bridegroom, rather than for the pleasure of the guests. Preparation is always individual. One cannot lay by any store for many. The mother cannot go to school for the child; the father can not exercise prudence and industry and faithfulness for his son; all spir itual experiences are one by one, each for himself. The great trans actions of the soul are enacted in the vast loneliness of the apartness of one soul with its Maker, quite as if no others had ever shared the same experlenre in the past. The Ave virgins are not character ized as wicked, but aa foolish; un preparedness is folly; It was a lack I of common wisdom. There was no excuse for the careless and reckless course of the five virgins who came to their hour of opportunity unready. One of the severest indictments that the business world makes of the youth of this generation, is that it comes in the world's market place unprepared to do the service for which It asks pay. Nations cannot propare for war whilo the enemy is hammering at their gates; neither may a people make ready for peace and self-gov ernment over night. Only the long look can bring to fruition the full value of the preparation time, which is the most important time in all of life. The Point of the Parable Over and over, by story and by exhortation Jesus had been stressing the one dominant idea "watch." He wanted his friends to be ready for the Kingdom's coming. The very unexpectedness of the event is an exhortation to fidelity. If a man knew he were to die ten years hence, he might be able to make his peace with God after nine years of living for himself. But because the bridegroom's coming may be to-night or to-morrow, the friends of the bridegroom must watch. This eternal vigilance is the price of opportunity of soul. Only by an attitude of alertness may the spirit be kept quick and sensitive. Spiritual life is forever a present experience. It is the watchful who are the wise in things of the spirit. To be ready for Christ is to be prepared for everything that life may bring. Much Work Needed to Get Trade of South America Special to The Telegraph Philadelphia, Sept. 11. The estab lishment of an export trade in South America with Philadelphia manufac tures depends, according to Wilfred H. Schoff. secretary of the Philadelphia Commercial Museums, on an aggressive sales campaign conducted by American buyers Into the markets or the South American republics; an increased con sumption by the United States of South American products and by direct bank ing relations between this and South American countries, which will ad mit of a general hadllng of credits. It was also pointed out that if th» development of the South American trade diverted by the European war be pursued on the threefold basis of sales, purchase and credits It will endure. But if on one basis only, sales, it will re vert again to Europe on the conclusion of peace. The Argentine Republic, It was as serted, possesses the greatest foreign trade of all the Latin-American repub lics. and that we now sell more goods to the Argentine than we buy from them. They take our agricultural Im plements and machinery, our business i supplies, our street cars and building I materials. On the other hand, Socre- tary Schoff noted, the establishment of German bunks In all of the Argentine cities has brought a great extension of German sales In that country. This, he pointed out, Is the Immediate factor In our trade relations. Secretary Schoff spoke glowlnglv of the great advantage the opening of the Panama Canal gave this country for trade with the west coast ports of South America over Kurope. He point ed out that Bolivia, Peru. Ecuador and Colombia, all "wonderfully rich In min eral resources," are awaiting develop ment by Investment of capital in rail ways from the mines to the sea coast. Also in the actual development of their mines. "The establishment of American branch banks In America," he asserted, "as now made possible under the Federal reserve law. Is really the first step toward a steady Increase of trade."
