THE JUDGE, PHARISEE AND PUBLICAN
' Luke 18: 1*14.
By DR. GEORGE A. BEATTIE.
GotcUn Text. God bo merciful to me a tin nor.
Luke, 18:13
T HK Incidents of this lesson oc
curred spine weeks after the last
week's lesson. Jesus had been
called to Bethany to restore Lazarus
to life, and then again returned to
Perea. This lesson contains two par
ables, in which four characters play a
l-artr* * The partible of the unjust Judge
was spoken to emphasise the-impor
tunity of prayer. In this, a* In every
parable, there Js a peculiar fitness in
the selection of characters.
The judge was unjust, neither fear
ing God nor man. The supposition is
there were siich judges then as there
nay be now. He had no conscience to
govern him; his heart was impervious
to any appeal for mercy. Page 2.
In nearly all the other parables the
truth that they are Intended to teach
I* stated at the close. The story Is
told before we see the moral. Here it
is Stated at the beginning; a« Matthew
Henry says, "This parable has the key
bunging to the door."
This unjust Judge recalls days in
England, when one of her greatest
sons, the father of modern philosophy,
Lord Bacon, was dlsmls^d from the
bench for accepting a brlte. For sim
ilar illustrations we need not go so
fur back In history, nor so far away.
The most common characteristic of
Eastern nations was, and still is, the
difficulty of clients obtaining Justice.
Jt may be that the picture Jesus paint
ed of the unjust judge was a very
common portrait, for It was His custom
to draw Illustrations of the divine-truth
from familiar objects.
Had this Judge feared God he would
nut have kept this poor widow wait
ing so long. Nor If he had any regard
fir the opinion of his fellow-men.
Everv avenue to his heart seemed
closed. His eyes were shut, his ears
were deaf, his heart was steel. No one
would think of appealing to such a man
foi justice or mercy.
Th** widow came to him, who had
been wronged. Doubtless some one
had taken advantage of her because
she was a widow: *e had no one to
defend her. She lu no social position
that would appeal . » him; no money
with which to bribe hip; no powerful
friends to back her. And yet from
one who had neither regard for right
nor wrong, to whose eyes her distress
brought no tears, in whose heart her
Borrow touched no chord of pity, she
obtains justice—bringing fire out of a
' cobl Hint.
How did she win her case alone,
without on advocate? As many a wom
an since has done—by her Importu
nity
As soon ns the unjust Judge took
his seat at the gate of the city, where
in the East court* are hPld, and cases
heard, his eye as It surveyed the au-
dien.fen on her. She was always
there—sorrow in her dress as well as
in her face, but determination in her
look—her form bent down with grief,
but spirit unbroken; resolved to give
the Judge no rest till he had righted
nor wrong. He can not shake her off.
She persists in her plea. She Insists
in her demands.
At Inst he yields to her request. She
conquer* by her Importunity.
Th* Application.
Christ taught by disparities as well
ap similarities. In this case we find
assurance of final victory, and the
greatest encouragement to Instant,
constant, urgent, persistent prayer,
if a bad man with a heart as cold
and hard as Iron was moved by
and whose throne Is founded on Jus
tice, whose love for us Is mirrored In
the cross .of Calvary—how much more
will He be willing to grant ouh re
quests?
Always Pray.
"Men -ought always to pray.” Not
merely in times jot need and danger.
We need not be always on our knees,
or In the attitude of prayer, but we
can be In the spirit of prayer ai.«l In
the habit of praying. What day
closes without many mercies to be
grateful for, and many sins to be con
fessed and pardorted? What day en
tered on that bas not its burdens to
be borne and battles with seif and sin
to fight? To omit prayer is like going
to battle without our armor or weap
ons of defense: to go to our labor with
out the morning meat; to cross the
bar where the breakers roar, without
taking our pilot on board.
A Christian servant once gave an
Illustration of praying always. She
said when she woke In the morning
she prayed that she might waken with
the righteous in the resurrection. When
she bathed that she might be washed j
In that fountain that has been opened
for sin and unclennness; when she
dressed, that she might be clad In the
robes of a Redeemer’s righteousness;
when she ate her morning meal, that
she might be fed with heavenly man
na, and so through all the day, the In
cense of prayer and praise ascended
from her heart.
The heathen sometimes seems to ap
preciate the value and power of perse
vering prayer more thnn many profess
ing Christians. A traveler In the Him
alayas tells us of u tribe of Indians
who pray by machinery. Certain pray
ers were placed on revolving cylinders
and as the wheel went round the pray
er came up; each time Its fnco turned
God was supposed to read It. While
engaged at work or passing the cylin
der at Intervals, the worshippers from
time to time gave it a turn so os to
keep It almost constantly spinning on
its axis. Some placed It In a running
stream, so that in turning like a mill
wheel, prayer might be offered night
and day.
We laugh at their folly, but what
better they that mumble prayers in an
unknown tongue, or read a prayer
without mind or heart in It? We might
put our prayers on a phonograph re
cord and with an electric current keep
it revolving, but God would never hear
it, nor we receive a blessing. We ask
and receive not, because we ask amiss.
We do not believe what we profess, n »r
feel what we say, nor wish what
ask. . .
Sometimes, like the man rowing ton
boat, we look one way and pull * the
other. How can we expect God to an
swer prayer when He sees and knows
we are not In earnest? If we were, we
would be urgent, praying In the field
and factory. In our home, by the way,
at our business, praying always, every
where.
The Pharisee and Publican.
This parable was spoken to reprove
those who "trusted in themselves that
they were righteous," and to encourage
all represented by the Publican. The
Pharisee was proud.
Pride is a sin of the heart, and one
more likely than many others to escape
our notice and can be Indulged in with
apparent impunity. It may assume the
features of virtue, ape a noble inde-

their attendance at the temple. They
gave to charity, but at the sound of
the trumpet, they blew their own horn.
They prayed, not that they might be

They made a stepping stone of their
humility.
Look at the one In the parable. How
he swelle, struts, nnd stnnds by him
self to attract attention, and with
himself. A soliloquy. He begins all
right, with “God I thank thee." If he
had only stopped there, but the rest
spoils It. He would make the sins
of others a background upon which to
display his virtues'.
And then, looking around, he sees a
poor Publican and drags him Into his

better, making a font stool of him that
he may stand higher with Owl. And
then he boastB of what he hag done.
