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- With an attendance of nearly fifty representative newspaper find trade pa per publishers from ail sections of the Bouth, the annual cdnventlon of the Southern Trade Press Association was called to order at 10:30 o'clock Friday morning In the convention hall of the.

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 prayer, thanking God he Is so much better, making a font stool of him that he may stand higher with Owl. And then he boastB of what he hag done. Fasted twice a week Instead of once n year, us the Mosaic law required, and he gave tithes of all he possessed, even the anise and cummin. The Publican.
