The Judge, the Pharisee and the Publican.
Luke xviii. 1-14,
Oommentary: I. The Judge and the
widow (vs. 1-8). 1, Spoke a. parable --
"In response to a question of the Phar-
isees
har
isees as to when the kingdom of God -
should come. Jesus gave them warnings
and instruction as to the coming, and
especially as to the need of being al-
ways prepared (xvii. 20-37), and nat-
urally turns to the subject of prayer as
a means of preparation." Men ought --
Note the force of the word "ought" -
it is their "duty" to do this. Always
to pray -That is, we should always
maintain a spirit of prayed. The habit
of prayer in private in the family and
in public should be cultivated. Not to
faint -Not to grow weary and discour-
aged because of the delay of the ans-
wer. "Why must prayer be importun-
ate? 1. Not because of God's unwilling-
ness to answer. 2. To cherish ansi culti-
vate our faith. 3., To intensify our desire
to receive. Prayer that is not persevering
indicates a lack of faith and oberlence
and fitness to receive. It is a sad thing
when prayer grows silent on the lips and
faint in the heart, for without it the
Christian life ceases and the man is.spir-
itually dead."
2. A judge-Accordiiig to Deut. xvi.
18, Israel must have in all the grates of
the city judges, who were under obliga-
tion to administer justice, without res-
pect of persons. See Exod. xxiii. 6-9;
Lev. rix. 15. In the days of our Lord
also, such municipal tribunals existed
(Matt. v. 21, 22.) -Lange. Feared not
God..man-He was unprincipled and
cared for no one but himself. "The
judges in the East are generally irres-
ponsible and corrupt. They take bribes
from either or both parties, from their
decisions there is in most cases no ap-
peal, and the proceedings in execution
of their decrees are summary." -Abbott.
3. A widow -"The conditions of widows
was indeed desolate, helpless and friend-
less. A widow, 'without influence and un-
able to bribe, had little to hope from
a wicked judge." Avenbe-The original
means "to vindicate one's right," "to do
justice to," "to protect or defend one
from another."-Thayer's Lex.
4, 5. For a while -These verses show
the abandoned character of the judge re-
ferred to. As long as he was not speci-
aly annoyed by her he paid no attention
to her request. 6. The Lord -That is,
Jesus. In verses 6-8 an application is
;made, and the truth Jesus desired to
teach by the. parable is emphasized. 7.
Shall. not God We are not to suppose
that the character of God is at all repre-
sented by this judge. The great truth
which our Saviour designed to teach is
that "men ought always to pray, and not
to faint." -Barnes. The application of
the parable inay be made by contest. 1.
"Cod is not compared to the unjust
judge, but contrasted 'with him.- If a
hard-hearted, wicked judge, who cared
for neither God nor man, but only for
Himself and his own interests, would yet
grant justice on account of the perse-
verance of the widow, how infinitely
more readily will the good God, our Fa-
ther in heaven, who loves to give for
more than we are willing to receive„ give
us the help we need against our adver-
saries. 2. And if the unjust judge does
this for a poor widow, in whom he has
no interest, how much more will our
Father grant the prayers of his own
children, even his select ones, whom he
has chosen. 3. .And if the unjust judge
will do it for the sake of deliverance
from some vexation in common life, how
niu,eh more will God save his children
from their adversaries, all enemies of
the true church and of the soul -sin,
temptation, bad men, bad principles, ev-
ery embodiment of evil that wars
Against the 'kingdom of God and its
principles -including Satan, the prince of
darkness, the persecuting rulers of this
world, and all combinations of men in
evl against the good."-Peloubet. His
own elect -That is, they are `-chosen,"
"a choice," for so the word elec means.
They are chosen according to God's eter-
nal purpose in Christ, and according to
his foreknowledge of their meeting the
cosditions of election, namely, faith, re-
pentance and perseverative.-Whedon.
Bear long with them -That is, though
he bear long with their adversaries. "Al-
though be defers long and greatly tries
their patience, yet be will avenge thein."
-Barnes. The translation given in the
Revised Version may bear this same
meaning, or may mean that God bears
with his own people, and is never vexed
or impatient at their importnnity.-Pe-
loubet.
8. Spesdny-Suddenly, unexpectedly.
He will not delay a moment longer than
is necessary ,and ashen he comes to de-
liver hie people he will make speedy
work. Son of man co•rnetll-W�hecton•
thinks this entire parable 'leas reference
to the second coming of Christ. •
Ii. The praliiaee's prayer (ve. 9-12), 9.
Trusted in thcvnselves-Jesus now pro-
ceeds to show another reason why many
prayers are not answered. The Phari-
sees did net trust to God, or the Mes-
eiah, for. righteousness, but in their own
weeks. They vainly supposed they had
themselves complied with the demands
of the law of God. -Barnes. Despised
others -Disdained, made nothing .of oth-
ers, treated them with eonetnipt.
10. Two men ---Both Jews. Two extreme
eases are Here chosen -a rigid, exclusive,
self-satisfied member of the religious• so-
ciety of Israel; and a Jewish offieer of
tli.e hated Roman Government, The plane
of prayer in the temple was probably
the court of the wonren�, where aloe were
the chests for depositing the . alms of
the faithful.--V4'hredon.

said of elle Pharisees that all their
works they did to be seen of men. -

need of confessing sins.
III. The ;publican's prayer (vs. 13, 14).
13. Publican -One employed as collector
of the Roman revenue. It was the bas-
est of all livelihoods, They overcharged
whenever they had. an opportunity
(Luke iii, 13). They brought false
charges of smuggling in hopes of extort-
ing hush -money (Luke rix. 8). They
detained and opened letters on mere sus-
picion. All this was enough to bring the
class into ill favor .everywhere. The
employment .brought out all the beset-
ting vices of the Jewieh character.
Standing afar off -Not ca
Not beuse 'he was
-a heathen, and dared not approach the
Holy place, but because he wee a true
penitent, and felt himself unworthy to
appear before God. -Clarke. Not lift
up -Utterly sad and heart-Ibroloen, the
publican neither recounts nor thinks of
any good in his life. He felt that he
was a sinner, and shame and sorrow
caused him to look down. It was usu-
ally the custom to pray with uplifetd
hands, and with look turned toward hea-
ven (L Tim. B. 8; Pea. exxiii. 1, 2).
Smote...breart-A token of anguish and
self-reproach. I am a sinner and cannot
be saved but in thy way. He threw him-
self wholly upon God's mercy and love.
14. Justified -His sins were blotted
out, and he was accepted. That exalteth
himself -Boasts of his own goodness, is
proud or ambitious, or looks in disgust
upon another, whom he considers be-
neath bis notice. Abased -Shall be
brought to shame; 0a1l see how God
hates his self-righteousness. Instead of
receiving the approval of God he will
find he is rejected, because he trusted in
himself. Pride and ambition are dis-
graceful, and must be punished. That
humbleth himself -By confessing his sin
and unworthiness, and plea.ding for mercy
from God. Self-denial and humility are
pleasing to God, for then he can enter
the heart and snake it new. Exalted
-Lifted up from the depths of sin and
made an heir of God. Frorn sorrow he
is admitted into the realm of praise.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
1. This poor publican was conscious of
Peed. The Pharisee was not conscious
of any lack in his life and so not con-
ecious of any need from God. He "pray
ed thus with himself" (v. 11). He saw
himself as a respected citizen; religious,
honest, pure, amstemious and generous.
God saw him as one "destitute of heart,"
as one of those sinners "who trusted in
themselves and despised others" (v 0).
His prayer was in the sight of God as the
odious, offensive "smoke" from a wet
"fire that burneth. all the day" (Isa.lxv.
5). He was "condemned out of his own
mouth"( Job ix. 20) . He said, "I am not
as other men" (v. 11). His prayer proved
he was like "inost men" (Prov. xx. 6).
He went away unjustified, "not washed."
from his "filthiness," because pure in his
"own eyes."
II. The publican was convicted of sin.
"The publican smote upon his
breast" (v. 13). He felt in his inmost
being thhat his heart was deceitful (Jer.
xvii. 9;; that out from his heart pro-
ceeded the things which made him vile
and miserable (Mark vii. 21). The pub-
lican,
ublican, like the prodigal, "came to him-
self" (Luke xv. 17). He saw himself as
God saw him. A man must realize that
he is a sinner before he is ready to ac-
cept a Saviour. If yon have not a con-
viction of sin ask for it. A little boy
nine years old did wrong. He knew he
had disobeyed God, but he did not feel
sorry for it. Thinking about it one day
out under a tree, he knelt down on the
ground and cried to God earnestly in a
loud voice and was overheard by the
gardener. This was his prayer: "0 God,
who died on the cross and rose again
for siners, give me a penitent heart,
like David in the fifty-first Psalm -give
me a heart -broken heart -give me a
heart that will weep bitterly as Peter
did after he betrayed thee 1" While he
was in prayer God answered, and sud-
denly lie fell on his face on the
grass,
crying with sobs and tears, "0,
sinner I awl Lord Jesus, have mercy
on met" Then the gardener kneeling by
his side said, "Behold the Lee:lb of God
bearing the blame of your sins!" and
while the boy thought of Jesus on the
cross, a great peace carne to his soul.
God gave him penitence, then pardon and
peace. publican is ed correctly.
III. The l prayed.
"God be merciful to inc a sinner" (v. 13).
These seven words fare a model prayer
for the sinner: "God," l -Ie eould not
say "Our Father" (Matt. vi. 3), nor even
"My God" (Pea. xxxviii. 21; lix. 1. The
sinner has no sense of divine possession;
no consciousness of sonslrip (Psa. li, 1;
x, 14). "Be merciful." "Be propitiated"
(R. V., margin)., Hie only proper plea.,
"Be merciful," is found elsewhere but
once in the New Testament, and there
it is "make reeoneiliation" (Heb, ii.
17), the word. from which mercy is de -
dived.
IV. The publican confessing sin. "The
sinner" '(R .V.) The Pharisee came tell-
ing God how good he was, the publican
could not find 'words in which to con-
fess how bad he was. If we sin let us
not blame others, like Adam and Eve,

(Prov. xxviii, 13); but let us confess our
sins to God and man and not rest until
we know we are forgiven.
V. The publican comforted. " This
man went....justified" (v. 14). Not
only pardoned, but acquitted, looked up-
on as never guilty. Justification is a
"setting Tight" To justify is "to make
or declare right." In court the only way
a prisoner can be justified, is to be found
not guilty. If acquitted he is justified,
declared innocent and. just.

THE WORST YET.
mission of the female is ended, she shrivels
and dies. Shortly afterwards the young
caterpillars emerge and begin their destruc-
tive work. This is their life and history
and to counteract •the work of any insect
is a hard problem. So far the destruction
of the larva in their present stage is the
best by killing a female now. But when
they have gassed the present stage the col-
lection of the•egg-masses is the only safe
remedy,
The egg masses are covered by a gelatin-
ous coating, that protects them effectively
from spraying, which is only of telling ef-
fect on the young caterpillars. The collec-
tion and destruction of the egg must be
thorough to bring practical results.
The great malority of the hibernating egg -
masses are deposited low:down on the trunk
of the tree or upon the meain limbs and can
be easily reached. Those that have been
scraped off should be collected and burned.
A satisfactory liquid for spraying is creo-
sote oil, towhich turpentine is added to keep
it lIeuid.
No explicit directions for spraying with
arsenical poisons are needed. It is essen-
tial that the caterpillars of the first gen-
eration ought to be destroyed, thereby kill-
ing the second and more destructive brood.
We owe a great deal to our school child-
ren, who under guidance of a few teachers
have aoonspltshed much, and they could do
more, by also attending to residence streets
like Deleware avenue .and others.
So much about the tussock moth. Now
a few words about the destruction of our
beautiful biroh trees that at one time
adorned our gardens and lawns, which is
done by the small agrilus anxius. I re-
ceived my first specimen in the year 1891
from Kansas. You can now see its de-
structive work down to the shores of the
Atlantic ocean. It belongs to the bupreF-
bidae, is not over a half-inch 1n length
and .of a. dark bronze color. Those that In-
terest themselves about this insect can see
its work on the ]awn between those two
fine. residence homes of Charles D. Marshall
and the children of our well -remembered
Gerhard • Lang, corner of Main and Tupper
street..
In order to prevent the spreading of this
handsome small budpresidae the infectod
trees must be out down, as we at present
know of no remedy. Our park superinten-
dent ought to attend to this by weeding out
several leafless birch trees around the
westerly part of the meadow, thereby sav-
ing a few of the nearby trees. -O. R.

SAID TO BE MISSING.
New York, Aug. 6. -According to the
Tribune, Roscoe V. Hurd, a dealer in
genes at 126 West 23rd street, complain-
ed to the police early this morning that
he had been robbed of a quantity of dia-
monds. rubies and opals, worth between
$10,000 and $12,000, and a cheque for
$150.
He said also that he was unable to
find his messenger, John O'Hiell, 22
years old, lVeshington .square, Brooklyn.
He says that he gave the jewels and hie
cheque to the young man eo take to the
office of his brother, another diamond
dealer, in Maiden Lane, at 2 o'clock yes-
terday. The mesenger never delivered
the valuables, Hurd says. After waiting
until 11 o'clock last night, Hurd says, for
the return of O'Hiell. he went to the
home of the boy's father, but the young
man was not there. Hurd says he em-
ployed O'I.liell only yesterday morning,

STONE FELL FROM TREE.
Elgin Marble Worker Sustains Injury to
His Head.
�St. Thomas, Ont., despatch: Mr. John
Dunnell, of Aylmer, who is employed
in a marble shop at Lyndoch, states
that while he and Mr. Ford, his em-
ployer, were working under an apple
tree a stone descended from the
branches and struck Mr. Flood on the
head, inflicting a severe gash. It ap-
pears that boys were in the habit of
throwing stones into the tree to bring
