We may not discover the wonderful secret by searching ever so long,r and diligent- ly in God’s Word, for it is not there. Hunt is locked in- the innermost re- cesses of the heart of God. We. may ,not even dare. to guess the hour, for when God says no man knoweth the day nor the HOUR, neither the angels. and not even the Son, but the Father only, it places the quesâ€" tion absolutely outside the pale of human reason or the right to deal with it in an effort to fathom its mystery.

Bui. Christ, the Bridegroom. is coming at the bluck hour of midnight to take to Him- self Iiis bride, the church. It is significant. It. is declared of Jesus upon His first. advent into the world that He came as Light into darkness but “the darkness comprehended it not." ' The waiting church, Christ’s; bride, represented by the ten virgins, hears ilhe cry and trims the lamps in read- iiness to receive its coming Lord. The {five wise virgins, with the oil of the ilIoly Spirit filling their hearts and [keeping the, ilame’of their faith burn- }ing brightly, pass quickly on to meet 1their coming Lord and go with Him into the nmrriuge supper. The live foolish virgins, whose heads haVe re- ceived the truth in regard to the Christ, but Whose hearts have not opened up to receive the Holy Spirit find that the lack quenches the flame of their faith in the crucial time of the coming, and while they go in eagerness, apparently, to sup- ply that deficiency, the door is shut and the wail of disappointment and anguish bursts from their lips. THE MII,)NI(,}II'1‘ HOUR. It was at midnight that the Bridegroom came. Darkness, grim darkness, sat on her throne, the conqueror of the day. Strange hour for the Bridegroom to come i It is not so with man. The Rim,r of day‘ WE CANNOT KNOW THE DAY Some of the most tragic and most momentous events in profane and {sacred history have transpired dur- ‘ing the quiet hush of the midnight hour. Man has frequently chosen that period to plot and to plan, to work and to execute, and God has often found it a. convenient season in which to move among men and 'urry out his eternal purposes. The words of our text are taken from the pu‘able of the ten virgins, and mark the advent of the Bridegroom us He comes to claim His bride and go into the nnu'riure supper. But it must not be suppofied that they fix definitely the hour of the second coming of Christ, for Christ llimâ€"‘ self declared that "of that (lay and‘: hour knoweth no mun. no, not the! angels which are in IleaVen, neither the Son, but the Father."

It is filled with joy, for its stillness will be broken by the shout of triumph of the descending Lord; it will ring with the heavenly voice of the arch- angel, it will thrill with 'the awak- ening trump of God. The bride longs for the return of the bride- groom an'd rejoices exceedingly when she hears his hurried tread and feels his love clasp about her. The church, made up of the true believâ€" ers, by whatever name or denominaâ€" tion calleii,- is the bride of Jesus Christ. She is expectant of her coming Lord.

God in His Word has set; certain Sign posts which will indivutv to the believing heart that the day is approaching. But. Paul declares, “that day shall not come, except them come a falling away first. and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdi- tion ; who opposelh and exulteth himself above all that is called God. or that is worshipped; so that he. as Hod, sitteth in the temple 01' (led, showing himself that like God.” The disciples desired to know the Sign of the coming; of the Low], and Jesus in the twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew outlined to them some of the conditions which would pre- vail in the world previous to His second coming, and closing with the (letlaration that “this Gosi'el of the‘ Kingdom shall be preached in all the wovl'd for a witness unto all na- tions: and then shall the enizl comm"! ‘know that God knows, and that in the fullness of His time the joy and hope of the Christian heart will be realized. It is enough to know that this same Jesus; is coming,r again, and that when He comes the dead in Christ Jesus will rise from their graves, and with the living saints will be caught up into the air: to meet their Lord. It is enough for us to know this and to "comfort one another with these words.” But let us heed Christ's warning; word : “WATCH,” and in faithful service be patient unto llis coming. For, James goes on to say, “be- hold, the hushan-dman Waitcth for the. precious fruit if the earth. and hath long patience for it. until he receiVe the curly and the latter rain. 2e yo also patient: establish your hearts; for the coming vi the Lord durwet/h nigh." “It is remarkable." said the DO- litical star, “how differently people are affected by the same thing."

Journalistic circles in Portugal wem a feW months ago thrown into a .ntutc of wild excitmucnt owsr a. wordy warfare between the editors of two Well-known chs-papors. When instrument of the wireleSS telegraph will readily respond to the vibra- tions of the sending instrument across the ocean which is tuned to the same pitch, but all the inctru- merits which are not so tuned would be as insensible to the ether waves flashing over the ocean as a dead ‘body is insensible to pain. The Christian heart which is tuned to the expectant hope of a returning‘ Lord need not fear that the thrill of‘ the midnight cry will not be felt.l The shout. of the coming Christ will set the chords of the true believers' hearts to vibrating, and they will mount on the wings of faith to join heir voices with the voice oi the! archangel while the trump of God. fills the Heavens with its triumph- ant music. Ah, at midnight, \vhati hope to make the dark hours of waiting bright! Ah, what need of; \vatchfulness, that the heart may be turned to hear the cry! Ah, what sad appointment to be among the] five foolish virgins who are shut out’ of the marriage supper! 011‘ Chris- tian, \VATCH YE! You may be ready to go in with your Lord when He comes if you will. HE FOUND THE HOTEL. EXTRAORDINARY EDITING ‘.
