prise to think hed run after hor but she found he could climb a tree al- ost as easily as walking but oven when she was high abovo rover she was so frigmened that sho kopt on climbing up and up then when sho was away up there aud looked down she was so high up she was afraid to come down i tell you fluffy was glad when sho saw mamma lady and billy coming homo just then it happened a little neighbor boy saw rover chase fluffy so he came over aud said rover chased fluffy up the treo i saw him mamma lady looked hard at rover and said rover did you chase flufly up there shame i dldut thluk youd do that and rover hung his head and came over slowly then when bo got to mamma lady ho put up hi3 paw to shako hands that was his way of saying he was sorry but mamma lady had to punish him for doing that eo he wouldnt do it again and sho well fluffy was away up in the troo seeing all this and when mamma lady looked up at her aud called her sho was so excited aud delighted she couldnt stand still she called hor again aud do you know what fluffy dld she didnt climb down this time but sho jumped down all the way it may bo she lost her balance for the branch was so littlo away up there and she wasnt used to climbing yet anyway she jumped down all that way and what do you think she landed right on hor paws kittles always fall on their paws if they slip did you ever know that they never

in one day feeling awfully good and wagging his brushy tail like a good fellow fluffs- was behind him and she started to play with it he was so surprised and stopped and looked round at her but fluffy knew he couldnt come after her with billy around she just hid until he stopped looking at her aud as soon as he wagged it again she grab bed it again and the only way he could keep fluffy from pulling at his long hair was to keep it real still aud such a funny look came into his brown eyes he didnt like standing still when he was feeling glad and not be able to wag his tail do you know he had to go

luke 18 114 golden text lord teach us to pray luke 11 1 analysis i the parable of the unjust judge 18 l- ii the pharisee and the publican 18 914 i the parable op the unjust judge 18 18 the point of the parable is to show that christians ore to pray at all times that is even when their pray ers seem not to be answered and not to faint or give up in despair the jdge in the story is perhaps a local magistrate or ino of the two regular policccuurt magistrates in jerusalem who because they sat continuously were paid out of the temple treasury thero are various references to the ignorance arbitrariness and covet- ousness of such men in v 5 a very strong cxpressi- n is used lest in he end she come and give me a black eye but perhaps this is not meant literally for some reason or other the un just judge does not want to right the womans wrong bat in the end be cause of her importunity he listens to her thinking it will on the whole be less bother to him to be rid of her wo 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 we bother him enough god does not an 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 thich jesus so often employed in his teaching about god if even an unjust judge in the end will listen to prayers how muoh more shall god who loves his children in the end in his own good time an swer their prayers by avenging his elect we are pre sumably to understand he deliver ance vindication and justification of those who have been faithful through trial and persecution the parable as we have it seems to deal in gen eral with the questioi of prayers that seem to be unanswered and in par ticular with the sufferings and trials of the church between the death of jesus and his eagerly expected re turn let the persecuted church take heart god will speedily avenge his elect it is not clear whether the second part of v 8 is a saying of jesus or a comment by the evangelist when what new york is wearing by annabelle worthington

collector earth the words the faith seem naturally to mean true christianity and it is perhaps right to suppose that the words are the comment of some disheartened church leader who does not doubt hat soon christ will come but who is gravely disauieted about t state of the church in any case the point of the parable seems to be this your prayers for deliverance seem not to be answered vou are doubting whether god will do hi3 part but the real question is whether you will do yours of course god will vindicate- hi elect but are you sure that you will be found numbered among the elect ii the pharisee and the publican 18 914 selfrighteousness is the subject of this story the public and official worship of the tomple was almost ex clusively sacrificial but the temple ourts it would seem were also used for private prayer it is difficult to sec how far the prayer if the pharisee may properly- be called a prayer a all he giv thanks to god for the blessedness f hi3 condition tut the impression is left with us that the pharisee is not so much grateful to god for the gifts of gods grace as he is boasting before god of his own attainments he as lone more than tro law requires he has fasted on mondays and thursday the chris tians to be different chose wednes days and fridays for their fasts he has paid tithes nj only on his pro duce as the law required but on ihe whole of his income he has avoided the open sins of the worldling a not dissimilar prayer of a rabbi has come down to us i thank thee 0 lord mv god that thou hast put my part with those who sit in the academy and

carefully for each number and address your order to wilson pattern service 73 west adelaide st toronto of destruction it would be a great mistake however to suppose that these prayers give us a complete and normal picture of tho piety of the pharisaic party moreover the phari see in the narable does not seem to be wholly condemned tho publican re turns to his house with a heart more acceptable to god than the pharisees because he ha3 a greater sense of moral realities but the righteousness of the pharisee is not despised what is meant by saying that he publican is justified rather than the other justified is strictly a term taken from the law courts and means acquitted it applies here that all men are sinful in gods eyes and all must pray forgive us our tres passes but that a broken and con- rite heart is more acceptable to god than a proud and selfsatisfied right eousness humility is the right atti tude of man before god and the ion- ship to which we are called is
