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. Luke, 18:13 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.

Maier & Berkele and whose throne Is founded on Jus tice, whose love for us 1b mirrored In the cross of Calvary—how much more will He be willing to gram our re quests? v 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- First Session To Oalled to Order Friday Morn ing.

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. Fasted twice n week Instead of once a year, us the MnsaL' law required, and iie gave tithes of ail he possessed, even the anise and cummin. The Publican.

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 eye; One nearer to the altar trod. The other to the altar’s God.” ELLA WHEELER WILCOX.
