SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
STUNNING PEERESS
AND STUNTED PEER
THE JUDGE, PHARISEE AND PUBLICAN
Luke 18: 1-14.
By DR. GEORGE A. BEATTIE.
God bs merciful to mi a •inner.
Golden Text.
T HE incidents of this lesson oc
curred some weeks aftef the last
week’s lesson. Jesus had been
ailed to Bethany to restore Lazarus
life, and then again returned to
Perea. This lesson eontaIns two par-
allies, in which four characters play a
part * The parable of the unjust Judge
was Spoken to emphasize the 1mpor«
tunity of prayer. In this, as In every
parable, there Js a peculiar fitness In
the selection of characters.
The Judge was unjtlst, neither fear
ing God nor man. The supposition la
there were such judges then as there
may be now. He had no conscience t«*
govern him; his heart was impervious
to any appeal for mercy. Page 2.
Jn nearly all the other parables the
truth that they are intended to teach
is Stated at the close. The story !•
told before we see the moral. Here it
Is stated at the beginning; as Matthew
Henry says, '-This parable has the key
hunting to the door.”
This unjust judge recalls days In
England, when one of her greatest
■uns. the father of modem philosophy,
Bacon, was dismissed from the
0 m Lt*IV,a L’nl* aim.

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 u very
common portrait, for it was His custom
to draw iltustrations of the divine truth
from familiar objects.
Had this judge feared God lie would
not have kept this poor widow wait
ing so long. Nor If he had any regard
for the opinion of his fellow-men.
Even avenue to his henrt seemed
closed. His eyes were shut, his ears
were deuf. his heart was steel. No one
would think of appealing to such a man
lot Justice or mercy.
The widow came to him, who had
been wronged. Doubtless some one
had taken advantage of her because
i*he was a widow; »e had no one to
defend her. Hhe hi 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 an advocate? As many a wom
an fdnee has done—by her importu
nity.
As soon as the unjust Judge took
his seat at the gate of the city, where
In the East court* are held, and cases
heard, his eye as it surveyed the au
dience 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,
spirit unbroken! resolved to give
the judge no rest till he had righted
her wrong. He can not shake her off.
She persists in her plea. She insists
In her demands.
At last he yields to her request. She
conquers by her Importunity.
The Application.

Always Pray.
"Men ought always to pray." Not
merely In times of need anti danger.
We need not be always on our knees,
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 that has not its burdens to
be borne and battles with self and sin
to light? 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 in the morning
she prayed that she might waken with
the righteous In the resurrection. When
she bathed that she might be washed
In that fountuln that has been opened
for sin nnd 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 bo fed with heavenly man-
nn, 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 than many profess
ing Christians. A traveler In the Him
alayas tells us of a tribe of Indians
who pray by machinery. Certain pray*,
era were placed on revolving cyllndrra
and as the wheel went round the pray
er came up; each time Us face turned
God wns supposed to read it. While
engaged at work or passing the cylin
der ut Intervals, the worshippers from
’time to time gave It u turn so ns to
keep it almost constantly spinning on
Us axis. Some placed It In a running
stream, so that In turning like n 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 inlnd or heart In It? We might
put our prayers on a phonograph re
cord nnd with an electric current keep
It revolving, but God would never hear
it, nor we receive a blessing. We •as'.;
and receive not, because we ask amiss.
We do not believe whnt we profess. —
feel what we say, nor wish wha;
ask.
Sometimes, like the man rowing the
boat, we look one way and pull the
other. How can we expect God to nn-
wer prayer when He sees and knowa
we arc not In earnest? If we werq, wo
would be urgent, praying In the fleld
anti factory, In our home, by the way,
nt nur business, praying always, everyw
here.
The Pharisee and Publican.
This |>arable 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 llkelv 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
pendence of spirit, even a sacred re
spect to God’s truth.
In Herod, It wpre a mask of con
science; In the Jews of a tender regard
for «.*!’* honor; In the Pharisee purity
of life that would not permit him to
come In contact with what he regarded
ns common or unclean. The religion of
,he Pharisee consisted In mere cere
monial forms, washing platters and
keeping fasts. They wore the garb of a
-.tint 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 tithes on things not re-

qulred, ns If they would 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 nil
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 u foot stool of him that
he may stand higher with God. And
then he boasts of what he has done.

Instcnd of extending his hands to
heaven, us did the Pharisee to receive
what he felt he merited, he smote upon
his breast, by which action the natives
of the East express the deepest sorrow,
and then from his heart, uh well us his
lips, went up the prayer.
•’God be merciful to me, a sinner.”
Ho does not suy us sinners. It Is easy
to include ourselves with the multitude,
but he says me, the sinner, as If he
were the only one, or as Paul felt, the
hlef of sinners.
This is the shortest prayer recorded
in the Bible, and one of the best. No
man who sincerely prays It can be lost.
“Two went to pray, or rather say,
One went to brag, the other to pray.
One stands up close and treads on high,
Where the other dares not send hb

One nearer to the altar trod.
The other to the altar’s God.”
