THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
ing in this parable that are commonly
overlooked. It is part of our Lord’s
discourse on His Second Coming. The
latter part of the preceding chapter is
a talk He had with His disciples about
the end of this age and His own re
turn; then He continues with this
parable on prayer. The time just pre
ceding His return. He said, will be a
time when conditions will be like
those of Sodom, and like the days of
Noah; in both cases God had to visit
swift, sudden, and destructive justice
upon those who were rejecting Him.
And He warned His disciples that,
just before His Second Coming to
this earth, conditions would be such
that it would seem as though God
were letting wicked men have their
own way, while His own people, the
righteous, were being ignored, down
trodden, persecuted until it seemed of
no use to pray that justice should be
done.
But God wants His people, in such
a time, “always to pray, and not to
faint,” for He assures them that the
Lord will return and execute justice
on earth. ’
“Nevertheless,” said the Lord at
the end of this parable, “when the
Son of Man cometh shall He find
faith (the faith) on the earth,” His
question is a warning that His people
should not let their faith collapse, but
should pray patiently, prevailingly,
persistently until the answer comes in
the coming of the Lord Himself.
It is like the passage in Hebrews
10:35-37: “Cast not away, therefore,
your confidence, which' hath great re
compense of reward . . . For ye have
need of patience . . For yet a little
while, and He that shall come will
come, and will not tarry.”
Another immortal parable on pray
er is given, contrasting the self-
righteous Pharisee and the humble,
broken-hearted, repentant publican.
The Pharisee was thoroughly satis
fied with himself, and he really did
not pray at all, but simply meditated,
or “prayed thus with himself,” as he
thanked God that he was “not as
other men are.”
The publican—a tax-gather, hated
because he had been an extortioner,
grasping, all that is bad—was genu
inely repentant, and overwhelmed by
his sin, so that he could only cry out
in prayer: “God be merciful to me, a
sinner.” God is quick to forgive all
who come to Him confessing their
sin, repenting of it, and conscious of
their need of salvation. A commenta
tor has well said:
“The Pharisee justified himself;
God condemned him. The Pharisee
said: ‘I am all right.’ God said: ‘You
are all wrong.’ The publican con
demned himself; God justified him.
The publican said: ‘I am all wrong?
God said: ‘You are now right in my
sight.’ ”
EFFECTUAL PRAYER
Sunday, May 10—Luke 18:1-14
Golden Text
God be merciful to me, a sinner.
(Luke 18:13b.)
Is it not true that a great many
Christian people pray, and then “cave
in” in their praying? They pray eag
erly, hopefully, earnestly that God
will do something which they feel
sure it is God’s will to do. But no
answer comes. They continue pray
ing—for awhile; they go on in their
prayer, somewhat faint-heartedly.
Then they give up that prayer alto
gether. They have “caved in.”
The Lord Jesus had a word for such
people, for “He spake a parable un
to them to this end, that men ought
always to pray, and not to faint.” A
vernacular reading of “faint” is “cave
in,” break down, collapse.
When we believe that a thing ought
to be done, and that it is in accord
ance with God’s will, then we are to
“pray through” until it gets done.
That is praying without fainting; it is
to “pray without ceasing” as Paul
urged.
A famous old Methodist, Peter Mc
Kenzie was asked by a complaining
Christian why his prayers were not
answered. “Possibly it is because
your prayers are like some promis
sory “notes,” replied Peter; “present
ed before they are due. Do not cease
to pray.”
The parable our Lord spoke, on the
importance of continued and persis
tent prayer, has troubled some people.
For it tells about a woman who de
manded justice from an unjust, un
righteous Judge; and she kept ham
mering away at him until he finally
did what she wanted just to get rid
of her.
This judge, the Lord said, “fear
ed not God, neither regarded man.”
The woman, who was a widow, came
to his court, and said, “Avenge me of
mine adversary.” He would not do
so. She kept coming. Finally he
said to himself that, “because this
widow troubleth me, I will avenge her
lest by her continual coming she I
weary me.”
And that, said the Lord, shows that j
we ought to keep on praying, even j
when God does not seem to hear us.
The parable should not disturb us,
for the Lord explained that it gave
a teaching by contrast. “Hear what
the unjust judge saith,” said the Lord.
Then He made the application
