She haw been purified and made white (Dan. xii. 10.) To be purified is to have sin burned out; to be made white is to have brightness burned in. One is purity; the other glory. The bride is not only justified and sanctified, but redeemed (I. Cor. i. 30), glorified. The inner robe spotless; the outer robe glorious. _ Water makes linen clean, a hot iron pressed hard makes it shining. The bride will be justified by grace, I cleansed by blood and purified by trial. IIL. The wise virgins (vs. 4, 9). The virzins are the companions of the bride, who follow her (Psa. xiv. 14). The foolâ€" ish virgins miss the marriage supper becarmse they have not the oilâ€"type of the Holy Spiritâ€"in their vesselsâ€" type of the human body. They wil not «it beside the Bridegroom; they will be ashamed beafore Him at His coming (I. John ii, 28). A woman who had no® lived with her husband for ten years, learning of his death, went into the city where they had formerly resided, and claimed her property. The court refused her request, as it was found her husâ€" band had obtained a diverce from her nine years before, after every effort to find her and serve a notice of the trial had failed. She had separated from hor husband, but she had not thought to loso the million dollars he left, and was grievously disappointed. There are those who bear the name of Christ not living in communion with Him, yet expecting to share His imheritance. O the sorrow and the shame of it when they discover that they can have no part in His glory or His government! The great truth of the lesson is the golden text, "Watch, tharefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh" (v. 13). A few watched for His coming. Zacharias, Elizaboth, Simâ€" eon, Anna, and the wise men. We who are looking for His second coming should watch with loins girded and {ights burnint â€" Watsh | nuranvarimoitae should watch with loins girded and lights burning. Watch persevering (Eiph. vi. m)\.g "Watch for...‘..sonu"z;, as they that must give account" (Hab. vili. 17). We are not to watch ourâ€" solves, but "looking unto Jesus" will keep us from being weary and faint (Heb. «ii. 2, 3). 4 I1. The bride. The first verse of our lesson in the old versions reads, "To meet the Bridegroom and the bride," and read this way it perfectly describes an Eastâ€" ern wedding. The bride is of divine deâ€" scent;, "born from above" (John iii. 3, 5.) Adam ard Eve, the first bridegroom and bride (fien. ii. 18â€"24, margin), typify ‘the great mystery" (Eph. v. 22â€"23.) The bride is separated to Christ. Her love is all for the Bridegroom. She has heard im say, "Let us go forth" (8. of 8. vii. 11.) She is "in the world" of sorrow but not "of the world" of sin (John xvii. 11. 14â€"i8), Lecause living in the Spirit and walkizne in the Snirit "above" the "Behold, the Bridegroom cometh" (v. 6.) The key of our lesson is the coming of the Bridegroom. The greatest earthly felicity typifics the greatest heavenly blessing. Like the Oriental wedding, the marriaze supper (Rev. xix. 9) will be a time of feasting (John ii, 1â€"11), rejoicing (sa. Ixii. 5; Jer. xxxiii. 11). and gifts (Pst. xi.v. 12.) At the wedding will be, 1. "The Bridegroom" (v. 1.) The Beâ€" loved it "fairer than the children of men" (Psa. xiv. 2.) They tell us the Hebrew reads, "Beautiful, _ beautiful art thou above the sons of men." In every virtue, every grace. the Bridegroom is the chiefâ€". est among ten thousand and the one altoâ€" ‘ gether lovely. William G.
