SUNDAY READING
PARALLELS on Prayer.
Lesson, Luke 1s:1--H

Lesson, Lake 1s:1--M
The first parable may have two APP
pllcations. one individual and the 9th
err general. But in both the same les
son of earnest and perseysring prayer
Is taught as the privilege and duty OF
all Gods children. The effect is hight
ened by contrasting God as a Sender
Father with an unjust judge which
feared not God, neither regarded man.
The cry of the widow is, "avenge me
of mine adversary;" not revenge, but
justice, protection, and just penalty
against the wrong doer. The unjust
Judge selfshly heeds, to save himself
from being wearied by her continual
coming. But the tender Father will
hear and bless his chosen ones speed
lily. ''Theone is unjust. the other right
eous; one is implacable. the other ten
der; one is stranger, the other a
friend: to one she came alone, to the
other we come having an advocate.
Jno. 2:l She came without promise,
we are invited with promise.
In the general sense the parable
shows the relation of the Church of
Christ to the Father and Judge Of
men. The widow is the church de-
prived of the Lords visible presence
until his second coming called in verse
7'his own elect" The adversary is
Satan, the accuser and presenter Of
Gods people. The prayer of the Wild
ow is the same as the one heard by
John. Rev. $50 by the church in
Paradise: How long, o Lord, holy
and true, doSt thou not Judge and avenge
our blood" Here the martyrs pray
not for vindlctivs retaliation, but for
vindicahon and justice. This cry Of
the universal church is heard, and
though ''he bear long with her, even
during his long-sutfering for-bear
ance toward sinful world. he will an
swer ":Speedily,' to Him with whom
day is as a thousand years and ;
thousand years as day.
The second parable is for the encour'
agement of the humblc and penitent
sinner The person who would b'
terrified by the thought Of God a
Judge. The despised publican, stand.
ing afar off with downcast eyes, smote
upon his breast in grief saying "God
be merciful to me sinner, went away
jnstifed,' that is acquitted by tn
Judge! He can see us through an,

Press Comments.

New YORK, May 16.-The Post com.
ments as follows on the designations of
Platt and Conkling: They have re-
signed in pet because they have not
been allowed to have their way. The
act is contemplate in its childishness.
If their object is to revenge themselves
upon the President and the Republic
can party, not only is the proceeding
undignifed and unmanly, but 1t is not
clear how it can be effectual. They
are seeking endorsement Of their con-
duct by means Of reelection, the e1-
pertinent is dangerous to make with a
Legislature that little while ago
unanimously approved the nomina-
ton of Robertson. Perhaps, after all,
the simple explanation is the true one.
Perhaps Ccnkling and Platt have con-
Guided that if the Senate is anything
more than an instrument for the dis
tribution of patronage their occupation
is gone-they can do the State no fur
Their service.
If this shall turn out to be the truth
the grateful people will treat them
magnanimously, and will even spare
the obvious comment that nothing in
their political life has become them like
their leaving it.

In His Boot.

They had terrible time at n we'd
ding in Petaluma, Cal, the other day.
which only goes to show how the
smallest drawback will sometimes take
the stiffening out Of the swellest occa-
sion.
1t seems that the ceremony was a
very grand affair, indeed. There were
eight bridesmaids, and the church was
crowded from pit 70 dome, as the dra-
matte critics would say. But, when
they got to the proper place in the GER
emony, and the groom began feeling
around for the ring, he discovered that
it wasn't on hand. After the minister
had scowled at the miserable wretch
for a while, the latter detected that
the magic circlet had slipped through
a hole in his pocket and worked down
into his boot. He communicated the
terrible fact in whisper to the bride,
who turned deadly pale, and was only
kept from fainting by the reflection
that they would inevitably cut the
strings of satin corsage in case she did.
"Why don't you produce the ringp
whispered the brides big brother,
hoarsely, and feeling for his pistol, un-
der the impression that the miserable
man was about to back out.
~ can't. It's in my boot, " explained
the groom under his breath, his very
hair meanwhile turning red with mort.
ification.
''Try and fish it out somehow-hur-
ry up" munbled the minister, behind
/ his book.
''I'll try" gasped the victim, who
was rather stout; and he put one foot
on the chancel rail, pulled up his
trowsers leg. and began making spas
modic jerks for the ring with his fore
finger.
The minister motioned to the organ
ist to squeeze out few notes to fill in
the time, while a rumor rapidly went
through the congregation to the effect
that a telegram had just arrived prov
ing that that the groom had four wives
living in the East, already.
"I-I can't reach it," groaned th'
half married man in agony. 'Tt won,
come out. F"
"Sit down and take your boot off
you fool" hissed the brides mother
while the bride herself moaned piteous
