April 26. -Lesson IV How to Pray Luke 18, 1-14. Golden Text Lord, teach us to pray. Luke 11: 1. ANALYSIS. I. THE PARABLE OF THE UXJLST JUDGE, 18: 1-8. II. THE PHARISEE AND THE PfBLU'AN', 18: 0-14. I. THE PARABLE OF THB UNJfST JUDGE. 13: 1-8. The point of the parable is lo show that Christians are to pray "at all times" (that is, even when their pray- ers seem not to be answered) and noc to faint or g^ve up in despair. The j"dge iu the story is perhaps a local magistrate, or ^ne of the two regular police-Cuurt magistrates in Jerusalem, who, because they sat continuously, were paid out of the Temple treasury. There are various references to the "ignorance, arbitrariness and covet- ousness" of such men. In v. 5 a very strong expreesi n is used, "lest in -he end she come and give me a black eye," but perhaps this is not meant literally. For some rc^.-jii or other the un- just judge does not want to right tha woman's vrong. but in tho end be- cause of her importunity he listens to her, thinking it will on the whole be leas bother to him to be rid of her. We must not understand by the par- able that God, who otherwise would not trouble to answer our prayers, will in the end answer them if wo bother him enough. God does not ,m- swer our prayers because of our im- portunity, but we are to go on asking him without ever despairing, because we know he will answer our prayers. This is another instance of the "how much more" argument 'vhieh Jesus so often employed in his teaching about God: if even an unjust judge in the end will listen to prayers, how mu-'h more shall God. who loves his children, in the end (in his own good titrt?) an- swer their priiy^rs! By "avenging his elect" we are pre-j sumably to understand "he deliver- 1 ance, vindication and justification of j those who have been faithful through ( trial and persecution. The parable,: us we have it, seems to deal in g>en- 1 era! with the question of prayers that seem to he tirp.nswred, nm! in par- ticulnr with the sufferings rind trials of the Church between tho death of Jt><'is and h : s eagerly expected re- j turr. let tho rx-rseculed Church ta'-ce . heart: G-xl \v : 12 spoeililv "a venue his It is not clear whether the second i part "f v. 8 is a saying of Josus or i :i comment by the evangelist.

In any ; case, the point of the parable seems to; '", . h ; -: your prayers for deliverance' sevm not to be answered; vou are doubting whether Gvxi will do his rarr. but thi? real question is whether you will do yours; j of course God will vindicate hi* elect, but ar.' you ?nr< that vou will be | tVuml numbered among the elect? II. THE I'H \RISKE A NO THE PUBLICAN, Self -righteousness is the subject of this story. The public and official worship of the Temple was almost ex- cln<ive'y sacrificial: but the Teir.ple mrts.

It would bo a gr-.'iu mistako, however, to suppose that these prayers give us a complete and normal picture of the piety ->i . :\a | Pharisaic party. Moreover the Phari- ' see in the rmrable does not seem to be i wholly condemned; tho publican re- i turns' to his house with a heart more ' acceptable to God than the Pharisee's j because he has a greater sor.-e if moral realities, bjt the righteousness of the Pharisee is not despised. What is meant by saying that m- i publican is justified rather than the ' other? "Justified" is strictly a term taken from the law courts anil :>i -ar* "acquitted." It applies here that i'l men are sinful in God's eyes, and all must pray, "forgive us our tres- passes, 1 ' but that "a broken ami con- 'rite heart 1 ' is more acceptable to God than a proud and self-satisfied right- : eousness.
