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, hc.i English China Thi' present vogue for English China i* amply met In our charming collec- , 11 Dinner and Tea services, sets of pia'-s, odd piece,—all In patterns of artistic type. Maier & Berkele 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- With nn attendance of nearly fifty representative newspaper and trade pa per publishers from all sections of the South, the annual convention of the Southern Trade Press Association was called to order at 10;30 o’clock Friday morning In the convention hall of the Piedmont Hotel.

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. The Publican. 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.

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 were the only one, or as Paul felt, the chief of sinners.
