Tweedsmuir Makes Confession About Childhood OTTAWA—Lady Tweedsmuir spoke recently at the opening ceremonies of National Education Week and ad- mitted that as a child she was poor at arithmetic, a "difficult anddis- tressful science." Cites Advantages • "In the modern world where condi- tions are changing with such lightn- ing rapidity," she said, "it is vital that we all set our minds to devising a system of education at once elastic enough to meet our needs and strong enough to stand the strain of the ever-changing conditions o f t la e 1930's." After outlining her idea of educa- tion which included the three R's and a G., geography, Lady Tweedsmuir mentioned mechanical advantages ac- corded the modern child over those of his •predecessors but added: "To stare stupidly at the znovies and listen unintelligently to the radio is not going to help people to have minds that work for themselves. One of the curses of modern lie is a tendency to smatter and never go deeply into anything. The mind may become boneless and flabby because it has never used its mental muscles and its sinews." Bane of Childhood The governor-general's wife admit- ted that arithmetic was the bane of her childhood, but added: "None of us can survive without this difficult and distressful science in a world where problems are becoming more those of economics every day that we live." Of geography, Lady Tweedsmuir said: "A comic poet has written: 'Geography is about maps, biography about chaps.' And an enlightened un- derstanding of maps and chaps should be the slogan of the worthy citizen." "There is a grotesque contrast be- tweeen the capabilities and achieve- ments that, people have ascribed to me and what 1 really am and can do." —Albert Einstein.

FU MANCHU sta Prestos% By Sax Rohmer 1.1,••••••• A tt LESSON Yi. — May 10 EFFECTUAL PRAYI?..R. — Luke 1 Printed Text Luke 18 : 1.14 OLDEN RULE — God, be rho Merciful to me a sinner. --Luke 18 : 1 the world could judge,- a very moral 8 person, indeed, quite a religious per- son. "And the other a publican," For, u the -meaning of a publican, • see the lesson dealing withLuke 5 27, 3. "The Pharisee stood and prayedi thus with himself." There is nothing particularly wrong with this moaner of praying, RS some would seem to state; to pray with himself was sim- ply to pray in his mind without ex- pressing his thoughts audibly. "God,: I thank thee, that I am not as the, rest of men, extortioners, unjust,i adulters, or ven as this publican," Actually, this is not prayer at all. Its is an utterance of thanksgiving, but he is not thanking God (or something that God has done, but is actually' congratulating himself for what he himself is. "1 fast twice in the week; r give tithes of all that I get." His clescript-I ion of his facfs and tithe -giving is doubtless quite correct. The man) says absolutely nothing about his! own sins.- You can put it down that; when a man does not confess sin to; God, he has sins which he is afraid' to speak to God about. "But the publican, standing afar, off." He probably stood far off from! men whom he knew to be more' righteous than himself in a sense of!. true unworthiness. "Would not lift' up so much as his eyes unto heaven."j (See Psalm 40 : 12; Ezra 9 : 6.) "But smote his breast." An emblem! of the stroke of death which the sin-) ner feels that he has merited at the' hand of God. "Saying, God, be thou) merciful to me a sinner." The Phari-; see thought of others as sinners. The publican thinks of himself alonej as the sinner, not of others at all.— A. T. Robertson. "I say unto you, This man went' down to his 'house justified rather than the other." It was not so much thought himself to be justified, as that actually in God's sight he had that the man, in his own heart, been justified. Here is a clear il- lustration of that great word justi- fication, so continually used by the, apostle Paul in the years that fol -1 lowed (Rom. 2 : 13; 3 : 4, 24, 28,'30;1 5 1, 9; Gal. 2 : 16; 3 11). "Fol every one that eteth himself shall : : fal be humbled." The humbling of the self-satisfied will consist in the dis-1 covery of self in the light of God's' requirements. When a man comes to see what God meant him to be, and, puts by the side of it the things) that have satisfied him, he comes to the most terrible bumbling. "But he'l that humbleth himself shall be ex- alted." The man who humbles him- self in this life by placing himself: under the atoning blood of the Lord! Jesus, utterly devoid of all self-; , righteousness, knowing himself to be; a sinner and nothing else, is the one, whom God exalts into the far heavenly places sitting ogether with Christ Jesus (Eph. 1 : 3; 2 : 6). ' THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—All that is recorded in this chapter took place during February and March, A.D, 30, shortly before Passion Week. Place—The events of this chapter took place in Pearaea with the single exception of the concluding' miracle the healing of the blind man (vs. 35 43) which occurred near Jericho. "An he spake a parable unto them to the end that they ought always to pray, and not to faint." Of course Christ does not mean to say that men must always be audibly praying •to God; but that our lives ought to be continually abiding in God, anti that, on every occasion, for every problem, for every need, before every undertaking, instantly after con- sciousness of any sin, our souls ought to go out to God in confession, ad- oration, intercession, thanksgiving, or petition. "Saying, There was in a city a judge, who feared not God, and re garded not man," A practical atheist who does not scruple to confess him- livingself to be what he is; a man in defiance of both tables of the de- calogue, placed in a position Of power to play the tyrant and availing him- self of that position to the full. "And there was a widow in that city." The word widow in the East was a synonym for helplessness. "And she came oft unto him, say- ing, Avenge me of mine adversary." Apparently some one was attempting to persecute her and to rob her of what possessions she had. "A-nd he would 'not for. a while: but afterward he said within him- self, Though I fear not God, nor re, gard man; yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, least she wear me out by her continual coining." The judge was afraid that the widow would, in a modern phrase, get on his nerves. "And the Lord said, Hear what the unrighteous judge saith." The in- sertion indicates a pause during which the audience considers the parable, after which Jesus makes a comment and draws the moral of the narrative. "And shall not God avenge his elect, that cry to him day and night, and yet he is longsuffering over them?" If an unjust judge would yield to the importunity of an un- known widow who came and spoke to him at intervals, how much more will a just God be ready to reward the perseverance of his own elect, who cry to him day and night? "I say unto you, that he will avenge them speedily." Speedily here prob- ably means suddenly. So taken, the expression conveys a truth which we find elsewhere taught in Scripture, viz: that, however long the critical. action A divine providence is delay- ed, it always comes suddenly at last. "Nevertheless, when the Son of man cometh, shall be find faith on the earth?" It is more accurate to trans- late faith as the margin has it, the faith. This was hardly a. question which Jesus asked others, for others could not answer it, but rather an ejaculation, something 'Which he Mitered to himself. Occurring where it oceurs. it is like a sigh. "And he spate also this parable unto certain who trusted in them- selves that they were righteous, and set all others at nought." The ones to whom Christ is now speaking were self-righteous men who, super- ficially', were probably attempting to pose as his followers, "Two men went up into the temple to pray." On praying in the temple, see Acts 2 : 46; 5 : 12, 42; Luke 24 : 53. "The one a Pharisee." The Phar- isees were noted for their rigid ad- herence to the law, for their aloof- ness and their self-righteousness. Un- doubtedly, this man was, as far as • Courage • Courage is but a word, and yet, of • words, The only sentinel of permanence; The ruddy watch -fire of cold winter _ days, We steal its comfort, lift our weary, swords, And on.
