Marks the Relations of
Men to God.
rious thoughts about
Ills is Its Individuality. St. Paul puts
lt In a on he says: ' Beeb
mini shall bear his own burden." We
ar- in danger ol forgetting this truth.
Bk so much of our lives In their
mutual relations that unless we are
direful . lit of our Individual
ilblllty. The duty of helping
. her ls so impressed upon us that
? i that In the deepest
?' e cannot help each
Other,BOT CBS ? kelp from oth?
ers. Kach has to stand for himself.
Bach one should think of himself aa an
Individual, standing alone before God,
no companionship in the most
vital affairs of life, and should
of this posi?
tion.
a we think of It, the truth read
fy becomes apparent. No one can
choose for us; each one must make his
own decisions. We must take our own
place before God and meet our own re?
sponsibilities. No one can believe on
Christ for us. Others can Intercede for
ot when we baie sinned, but until we
ourselves, in penitence and contrition,
r-pent, confess and seek forgiveness,
forgiveness will not come to us. Four
men carried a paralytic to Jesus, and we
ire told that when Jesus saw their faith
lie forgave the man's sins and then
healed him. Bul we know well that the
re not forgiven because of the
faith of the four friends who carried
the man. There must have been In his
tiwn heart a sense of unworthily-**, a
confession of sin. a cry of forgiveness.
Dr .losus would not have said to him:
"Thy sins are forgiven thee." No one
but ourselves can consecrate our life
' No one can obey the com?
mandments for ns. No one can do our
duty. All about us may be those who
are busy and active in God's service,
keeping his commandments and do/xg
His work, but this avails nothing for
ns we mu*t do Qod'i will for ourselves.
Kach one of us must get the love and
f God into his own heart hy a
personal faith in Christ. Kach of ut
must have a lamp of his own and must
? filled and burning, says J. R.
if rv. In Northwesters Christian
Advocate. No one ran walk In the light
of another's torch. No mstter how
wife ls, how earnest she ls in her
praters, how full of God's love her heart
ls. her husband cannot stand In ths light
of her lamp; he ? - own
lam[i or walk in darkness. In our I-ord's
parable, five of the ton virgina had a
of ol! and their torches blazed
out brightly on the midnight dBi
sot tho other five have
?-vo walking beneath
tack torch? Hut each ons must have
her own light, or be left outside the
shut door. In the parable, the foolish
virgins, In their hour of need, cried to
? ,ive ns of your oil; for our
lamps arc going out." Hut the answer:
Iveatnre there will not be enough
for us and you." Perhaps lt seems to
us that the t-ij.c ought to have given
part of their oil to the
ones.
There ls said to be in a private gal?
lery in Boston a fine representation of
this scene in marble. A wise virgin Is
kneeling, trimming her lamp. A fool?
ish virgin, with a most pathetic ex?
pression, ls begging oil from her sis?
ter. The wise, however, w ltji in< I
. !ness, lifts up her hand aa If say
N'ot so." It ls related that a
great literary man, standing before this
group said: 'She ought to have given
her the oil." Perhaps many of us have
felt as we have read the parable, that
the wise virgins ought to have aharod
their refusal seem
ungenerous? dur blessed Lord avery
*Hcre In His Gospel teaches us that we
should give to everyone that asketh of
? the strong should bear the bur?
dens of the weak. Why does He repre?
sent the wise virgin? as seeming so un
pitlful?
A deep moral truth lie* In this part
of the parable. The grace of God is
something which cannot be given by ono
lo another. There are points In life at
which no one can help his friend.
