The parable of the ten virgins without doubt belongs to the time of the end. It is a prophetic parable. It tells of all, both wise and foolish, looking for the bridegroom; then, of the sleep, in which both share; and, then of the awakening first at the end. Now that is die . actual history of th» Church.. For the first three centmie*' there was expectancy. Then from the time of Constantine, there was a sleep. A partial awakening took plaoe at the Reformation, followed by another sleep. The, doctrine of the Lord's seoond comingl was again rediscovered and promulgated in the second quarter; of the last century, and since then the midnight cry has been increasing in intensity. The Bible gives v ' us many unmistakable particulars as to the tendencies of this present day. These were furnished to be a light to guide us during the hours of darkness so that w» oan see where we are till the day dawns. WHO ARE ON THE LORD'S SIDE? MR. MASSEY, as reported by the Press Association,' is returning from the Imperial Conference and his dinner with the Archbishop of Canterbury, and, interviewed in Canada, has stated:— ' " ' (1) "That the next war will be fourh't with the Pacific as the centre of . , activities," and „,, „..,„, (2) "That he (which means - New -- Zealand) supports, a renewal of ' th» Anglo-Japanese Alliance."■•■ - This, then, is the inspired pennon waived by the righteous deliberations of the Conference, as no one will assume that our Prime Minister has suddenly out of his oheery brain developed another war hysteria, or that anyone can name in history any war which was definitely foreseen, except by those who deliberately planned it. Now, no person who has lived, as I hay done; both in.the United States .of America and Japan, will for a moment assert that the U.S.A. .either wanis or, will.nialEa " Avar. The Pacific war, when it comes, must therefore find Japan tho assailant. V, here shall we stand if our alliance with tho heathen be' again renewed? Let every, man who is not a vulture of commerce, and who professes Christianity, solemnly answer this question to Almighty God. It is always the relativity of things which' causes a commercial sting; commercialism produces avarice and jealousy, and jealousy both war and murder. The great Republic, and not Germany, is to-daj our greatest world-trade competitor, ana our largest creditor nation. It is hopeless t» look to the Churches for a lead. They have long since transformed our "religious ideal" into the "sportive ideal" and the religion of the sword and reprisals; they have canonised the individual and put tho love of money in tho place of God. Let every child of God in this benign, country from this moment.out make a vowito his Redeemer that he or she will have no more of this madness, this criminal foolery of "playing the game" which is grinding us to powder and'everlasting damnation, or with the " poif on of dragons and the cruel venom of asps." War fiends must be driven from power. Tho next General Election will be too , ■ late. If these men can work their will, war will force itself upon us while wo ars sleeping, and before the Vox Populi can make itself heard. • < '. ' ,Thero\ is no greater truth than that k* who knows-what is right, and does it not. loses all knowledge of what is right, and ho who would nob do well when Se could loses ths power'when he would.
