THE LIGHT OF OUR HOME "An Ode to a Departed Daughter" (By the boy poet to his Cousin Alberta Tolbert) I always will utter a little moan When I think of my darling, who is gone: gone; Wherever I go, wherever I roam She always will be the light of our home. If seems as if all joy has flown, I seem now, forever alone; E'en on the sea, and its white foam She will remain the light of our home. Lighting our home like a bright light shone Giving our home a most colorful tone; In the depths of the earth; on the sky's blue dome She will remain the light of our home. If of the Lord, I could ask a boon, I'd ask why He took her back, so soon: Great old Babylon, and greater Rome, Cannot be as great as the light of our home. —JAMES E. ANDREWS. M. B. Talbert Y.W.C.A. The Tuneful and Colorful, Operetta, "Circus Day" was presented at Central Intermediate School, Friday evening, May 16, under direction of Mrs. H. T. Geeder, Miss Josephine Cunningham and Miss Harper. This was one of the most outstanding entertainments of its kind ever presented the public by the Y. W. C. A. Too much praise cannot be given to the General Education Committee and especially the three members who worked so untireingly to make this operetta possible. Since the organization by the Y. W. C. A. it has been hoped that the Educational Committee could be able to make at least one worth-while contribution to the community each year. This year has marked the beginning of a realization of what can be accomplished if there is vision. Not only did this effort make possible an evening's entertainment, but it gave thirty or thirty five boys and girls an opportunity for some intensive development along the lines of music and dramatics that they probably wouldn't have gotten elsewhere The Girls' Athletic Club met at the Branch, Monday evening. It was decided that a delegate would be sent to the Oklobojo Industrial Converence at Mi'ford, Ia., in July. Mrs. Grace Dillard and Miss Vaughn were hostesses—sixteen members were present. All girls and women interested in spending a weekend at Camp Bideawae are urged to register at the Y. W. C. A. Don't forget your Y. W. C. A., mem berachhip this month!

(4, 1928, Western Newpaper Union.) Lesson for May 25 JESUS DESCRIBES THE FUTURE OF THE KINGDOM LESSON TEXT—Matthew 24 1-35 18 (Print 28:1-18). GOLDEN TEXT—Take ye heed, watch and pray; for ye know not when the time is PRIMARY TOPIC—Being Ready to Help. JUNIOR TOPIC—Being Ready. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Being Ready. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Christian Preparedness. 1. The Prophetic View of the Course of Time from Christ's Crucifixion to His Second Coming. (24:1-51). The order of events in this time are in general as follows: 1. The moral condition of the world during Christ's absence. (vv. 1-11). This is the period covered by the parables of chapter 13. 2. The appearance of the Antichrist (vv. 15-26). 3. The great advent (vv. 27-31). In connection with this advent there will be mighty convulsions of nature, the mourning of the tribes of the earth, and the gathering of the elect. 4. Warnings to God's people in view of the great advent (vv. 32-51). The time of this advent is unknown and on the part of many unexpected. 5. Instruction to believers in view of the unexpectedness of Christ's coming (25:1-30). 11. Behavior of Bellaveres In View of the Coming of the Lord (25:1-13). The teaching in the parable of the ten virgins has continuous application in the present time (I Thess. 10:13; Titus 2:11-13). 1. The equipment of the virgins (vv. 1-5). (1) The foolish virgins took lamps, but no oil with them (v. 3). Lamps signify Christian profession (Matt. 5:16) and oil the Holy Spirit (Zech. 14). Having lamps but no oil shows that they were professors of religion, without possessing its reality. The Christian life is sustained by the Holy Spirit. As soon as a man is regenerated, the Holy Spirit takes up His abode with him. The Spirit's indwelling therefore, is an advance work upon regeneration. The proof that one is a child of God is that he has the Holy Spirit dwelling within him (Rom. 8:3). The foolish virgins were professors, but not possessors. (2). The wise virgins possessed both lamps and oil (v. 4). They backed their profession with a real life of righteousness. Both the wise and the foolish virgins slumbered and slept. This shows that as the present age lengthens, the real and the professing church will cease looking for the coming of the Lord. It is unspeakably sad that so many, even of God's chosen—the wise virgins—should give up the expectancy of the return of the Lord. 2. The coming of the bridegroom 2. The coming of the bridegroom (vv. 6-12). (1) The midnight cry (v. 6). In the midst of the night when all the virgins were asleep the cry was heard, "Behold the bridegroom cometh." Who knows but that the time of this cry is now close upon us? (2) Activity of the virgins (v. 7). They all arose and trimmed their lamps. There will be great activity when the Lord comes on the part of both believers and those who only make a profession. It will be a day when the reality of one's faith will be tested. (3) The foolish virgins' request of the wise to share their oil (vv. 8, 9). The revelation of Christ will make manifest the gentleness of our faith and expose the folly of mere profession. When the Lord comes, it will be too late to mend one's ways. (4) The wise enter to the marriage (v. 10). While the foolish were seeking to amend their ways—trying to buy oil—the bridegroom came, and those who were ready were admitted to the marriage. (5) The pitiful petition of the foolish virgins (v. 11). They begged the Lord to open the door. (6). The awful judgment (v. 12). The Lord declared, "I know you not." 3. The solemn obligation (v. 13). "Watch, for ye know not the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh," Two solemn facts should engage the attention of every one. (1) Entering with Christ to the marriage depends upon faithfulness to the end. If oil and light be wanting when Christ comes, no admittance will be granted to the heavenly banquet. (2) Borrowed religion will not avail at that day. Despite the value of godly companions and associates, they can render no service in the day of Jesus Christ. Personal contact with the Lord Jesus through faith in His blood is the absolute essential. Those Who Do Not Sleep While many are sleeping and taking it easy, we, as overseers, are struggling under the burden resting upon us, weeping and warning and begging for help to battle against the forces of evil around us.—Jonas Mininger. Hear That Voice How hard it is to get down to that point where we hear the voice which the sheep always know! Be not content until you have heard that voice! —John R. Mott Mrs. Laura Owens passed away at her home May 14, 1930. She was born in 1860, at Clark County Mississippi, (The day of the Month, which she was born is unknown.) She was well liked by everyone.

And our hearts, though stout and brave brave. Still, like muffled drums are beating Funeral n arches to the grave." —Longfellow.
