as their reasons for so doing that
the Committee was devoting most
of its time to the investigation of
Communistic activities in this
country, and was not thoroughly
investigating the activities of the
Nazists and Fascists. In the course

this commitee has done magnifi
cent work in bringing to the know
ledge and attenion of our people
the nature of the undermining
fifth-column activities of the sub
versive groups at W'ork here in this
country. Some of its startling revel
ations were:
1. That the sit-down strikes
were largely instigated by the
Communist Party.
2. That Communistic doctrines
were being spread through the the
atre and as a result of this ex
posure the W. P. A. Federal The

3. Exposed activities of the Ger

American people the Communistic
Party affiliation of Harry Bridges,
West Coast director of the C. I. O.

PREVAILING PRAYER
The Larger Lesson: Luke IS.
The Lesson Text: Luke 18:1-14.
the first part of last Sunday's es
son. Time, spring A. D. JU. r-iace,
Perea. Jesus was still speaking to
his disciples (Luke 17. ll). tne
Pharisees were present ana l
sought to trap Jesus ortotma t
with him, (Luke 11 .e
midst of such trials J ® sus
parable unto them (his disc p es)
to this end, that men ought alway
to pray, and not to faint, jesus
had been telling of the last days
and of the hardships which were
ahead of the disciples. While wait
ing and preparing for the “day
when the Son of man is revealed '
(Luke 17 30) the disciples are to
watch and pray (Luke 21:36; Eph.
g.jg. '
There was in a city a judge who
feared not God and cared nothing
for man but because of the per
s,stent appeals of a woman to be
avenged of her adversary he saw
to it that her case was settled and
that her adversary received his just
punishment. If an unjust judge
would do that for a poor widow
who persisted in her appeal how
much more will a righteous God
do for his own elect who cry unto
him day and night?
Why did Jesus use the example
of a judge who feared not God, was
unrighteous cared nothing for man
and his rights, and was completely
selfish in his attitude—why select
such a man to compare with God !
The answer is evident. The force
of the example is in the contrast
more than in the comparison. If
such a judge would heed the ap
peal of a poor widow who evident
ly had no money to pay a fee, how
much more will a loving God hear
the cry of his own child. If such
a woman could get what she wanl
ed from such a judge, surely the
child of God may get what he
needs from a righteous, all-power
ful Heavenly Father.
The woman received what she
wanted from Hie judge because she
persisted in her request. Please no
tice that the request was not grant
ed at first but, lest he be wearied
with her appeal, the judge avenged
the woman of her adversary.
We do not always get what we
want when we want it. God’s delay
may be occasioned for several rea
sons but always for our good. (1)
God may know that the thing we
desire and ask for is not good for
us now and may withhold it lest
we use it to our hurt (James 1:2-3).
(2) God may be working in us
faith and patience. A faith that
cannot await God’s time is a faith
that God cannot entrust with his
power. (3) God wants us to con
stantly keep in mind our depend
ence upon him. He is the giver of
every gcod andjperfect gift.
The parable shows how a selfish
man was compelled to help a wo
man against his inclinations. He
was forced to help because of the
confidence which the woman had
in herself, in the law, and in the
judge She evidently had a just
, promised , her .
claim. The law jus
tice. The judge was appointed to
see that she got justice. Despite her
difficulties she continued to have
confidence and assurance in her
resources. She had the law on her
side and she never gave up faith
in her demand for justice.
We, as Christians, have God s
promises on our side and even
though the answer to our ’petitions
may be delayed it will not be for
gotten. Faith gives us the assur
ance that “what things soever ye
desire, when ye pray, believe that
ye receive them, and ye shall have
them” (Mark 11:24). Notice that
the promise is based on a real de
sire on an attitude of piayer . and
on the presence of faith. Given
these three conditions the Christian
may have whatsoever things he de
sires. bis
Even though God will avenge
own elect and will answer his
prayers, the question is asked. Will
, against doubt
man, thus fortified of
and evil, abide until the Son
man cometh? The verses which fol
low show that, if he is to remain
faithful, he must trust in God and
not in self. He must be ever con
scious of his need of God. Ihe
Pharisee thought himself to be
good enough and strong enough to
merit God's grace. The publican
felt his insufficiency and sought
God’s mercy. He who thinks him
self to be strong is vveak. He who
recognizes his weakness and de
pends on God’s strength is strong.
Paul says. “I can do all things
through Christ which strengthen
ed me" (Phil. 4:13). “According
to your faith be it unto you" (Matt.
9:29) is still Christ’s answer to our
prayers, He who has faith will re
main faithful. He who has doubt
and fear will be hesitant and un
fruitful. When the Son of man
comes will he find you faithful?
There are many kinds of prayer
—the prayer of supplication, the
prayer of thanksgiving, the pray
er of intercession, the prayer of
communion, the prayer of dedica
tion, the prayer of aspiration, the
prayer of submission, the prayer
for forgiveness, the prayer for en
duement with power.
We may pray with words, or we
may pray without words. Over
against the picture of the Pharisee
with his glibness and egotism. Jes
us sets a publican, a taxgatherer j

-ere are six practical suggestion!
concerning the practice of prayer
»ven for busy men and womer
who would make their praying
more effectual: (1) Close the dooi
on other pursuits interests, attrac
tions of the mind. (2) Regard »
reverence the God whom we thu,
approach. (3) Think of the matter:
which we wish to bring before him
Speak simply and naturally o
those matters. (5) Wait for an.
accept his response. (6) Withdrav
reverently from that special inter
view with the Father,
“Lord, teach us to pray.” So beg
ged the disciples of old, and so wi
should beg. God is a person
Christ is a person, the Holy Spiri
is a person, we are persons. Wh;
should we doubt the possibility o
communication between God, th
infinite person, and ourselves
finite persons? Are we giving tim
enough to prayer? Are we carefu
prayer? Have we sufficient inter
ests outside ourselves to call foi
the seeking of God’s attention
Christ’s will and wisdom, and th.
Holy Spirit’s guidance? Are w.
willing to follow where our praying
leads? We shall go forward it
Christian growth and
largely in proportion as we go for
ward in the practice of prevailinj
prayer.
