STUNNING PEERESS
AND STUNTED PEER
THE JUDGE, PHARISEE AND PUBLICAN
Luke 18: 1-14.
By DR. GEORGE A. BEATTIE.
Golden Text. God be merciful to me a tinner.
Luke, 18:13
T HE Incidents of this lesson oc
curred some weeks after the last
week's lesson. Jesus had been
railed to Bethany to restore Lazarus
t» life, and then again returned to
i’erea. This lesson contains two par
ables, In which four characters play a
part. The parable of the unjust Judge
was spokei^ to emphasise the Impor
tunity of prayer. In this, as In every
parable, there Is a peculiar fitness In
the selection of characters.
The Judge was unjust, neither fear
ing God nor man. The supposition la
there \^ere such judges then as there
may 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
in stated at the close. The story Is
told before we see the moral. Here It
Is Mated at the beglnhing; as Matthew
Henry says, '‘This parable has the key
hanging to the door.”
This unjust Judge recalls days In
England, when one of her greatest
sons, the father of modern philosophy,
Lord Bacon, was dismissed from the
bench for accepting a bribe. For sim
ilar illustrations we need not go so
far back In history, nor so far away.
The most common characteristic of
Eastern nations was, and still Is, the
difficulty of clients obtaining Justice.
It 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
not hove kept this poor widow wait
ing so long. Nor If he had any regard
f >r the opinion of his fellow-men.
Every 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
for justice or mercy. , , ,
The widow came to him, who had
bfrr-n wronged. Doubtless some one
had taken advantage of her because
she was a widow; * te had no one to
defend Iter. She ha no social position
that would appeal ;*» him; no money
with which to bribe him; 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
sorrow touched no chord of pity, she
obtains justice—bringing fire, out of a
cold Hint.
How did she win her case alone,
without nn advocate? As many a wom
an since has done—by her Importu
nity.
As soon as the unjust Judge took
bis seat at the gate of the city, where
In the Hast courts are held, and cases
heard, his eye as It surveyed the au
dience fell on her. 1 She was always
there—Morrow In her dress ns well as
in her face, but determination In her
look—her form bent down with grief,
hut spirit unbroken; resolved to give
|he judge no rest till he had righted
her wrong. He can not shake her off.
pc persists In her plea. She insists
in her demands.
At last he yletds to her request. She
conquers by her Importunity.
The Application.
Christ taught by disparities as well
as 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
as ice and hard as Iron was moved by
importunity to redress the wrongs of
? nr ‘ far whom he felt no regard, whose
hel'pin*-ss or misery was nothing to
hhn, how much more will Gpd, who
cry High and sees every tear,

and whoso 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 our re
quests?
Always Pray.
"Men ought always to pray." Not
merely In times of need and danger.
We need not be'always on our knee*,
or In the attitude of prayer, but we
can be in the spirit of prayer and In
the habit of praying. What day
closes without many mercies to be
grateful for, and many sins to be con
fessed and pardoned? What day en
tered on Lhut has not Its burdens to
be borne and battles with self 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 meal; 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 Jn the morning
she prayed that she might waken with
the righteous in the resurrection. When
she bathed that she might be washed
in that fountain that has been opened
for sin and uncleanness; 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 am) praise uscended
from her heart.
The heathen sometimes seems to ap
preciate the value and power of perse
voting prayer more than many profess
Ing Christians. A traveler In the Him
alayas tells us of a tribe of Indians
who pray by machinery. Certain pray
ers were placed on revolving cylinders
and as tile wheel went round the pray
er came up; each time Its face 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 as 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, nor
feel what we say, nor wish what >
nsk. . ...
Sometimes, like the man rowing the
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 atid can be Indulged In with
apparent impunity. It may assume the
features of virtue, upe a noble inde
pendence of spirit, even a sacred re
spect to God's truth.
In Herod. It wore a mask of con
science; In the Jews of a tender regard
for God’s honor; In the Pharisee purity
of life that would not permit him to
ome in contact with what he regarded
as common or unclean. The religion of
ihe Pharisee consisted In mere cere
monial forms, washing platters and
keeping fasts. They wore the garb of a
saint to serve the devil. Jesus pro
nounced them whited* sepulchers, ser-
pents and vipers.
Their religion consisted in ritual ob
servances. and certain external acts of
worship. They gave alms, they prayed
often, paid Uthes on things not re-

A recent photograph of the Marchioness of Townsend, said to bd the

striking contrast between the stunning peeress and the stunted peer.
qulred, ns If they w'ould make God
their debtor. They were regular In
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
pardoned by God, but praised of men.
They made -a stepping stone of their
humility.
Look at the one In the parable. How
he swells, struts, and stands by him
self to attract attention, and with
himself. A soliloquy. He begins all
right, with "God I thank thee." If ho
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 n
poor Publican and drags him Into his
prayer, thanking God he Is so much
better, making n foot stool of him that
he may stand higher with God. And
then he boasts of what he has done.
Fasted twice a week Instead of once a
year, as the Mosaic law r required, and
lie gave tithes of all he possessed, even
tiie anise and cummin.

Now the Pharisee becomes a back
ground to set off the Publican and
never did humanity appear more J>eau-
tlful than when contrasted with the
proud, inflated, ostentatious man.

But though his eyes are not lifted to

Instead of extending his hands to
heaven, as did the Pharisee to receive
what he felt he merited, he smote upon
his breast, by which uctlon the natives
of the East express the deepest sorrow,
and then from his heart, as well ns his
lips, went up the prayer.
"God be merciful to me, a sinner.’’
He does not.say us sinners. It Is easy
to Include ourselves with the multitude,
but he says me, the sinner, as |f he
