mat the Father knows our hearts and
.nat ne knows all the needs OF our
lives. He not only knows-he cares
~ course we are not to understand
That there is no need for us TO ash,
! for blessings, for we are distinctly told
10 ask, with the promise we shall re-
celve But we are not to pray like the
hypocrites or the heather.
Jesus set for his followers a mode,
or pattern Of prayer In what we
know as the Lords Prayer.
Prayer Encouraged duke is: l.s,.
with the passage under considera-
ton compare Luke IL: ST. Men should
never lose heart in prayer
The exceeding desolation OF the
state of widowhood In the east has been
often noticed She was IN distress, and
called on the unjust judge for re-
hef. And though he feared not God
nor regarded man, because of the
widows importantly he determined to
avenge her of her adversary The case
of the unrighteous judge is by no
means rare exception in that coun
try where judge renders a verdict
against his own will in sheer self
defense. And as a bad man will yield
TO the mere force OF importantly
which he hates. how much more GER
tainly will righteous God be pre-
vailed on by the faithful prayer which
he loves"
Prayer Illustrated (YIukc IS: 9-14).
Here we have the illustration Of the
Pharisee and the publican. the one
outwardly righteous but inwardly I'M
clean. The publican had found his
sins an intolerable burden and yearned
for deliverance from them.
Proud and self righteous the Phari-
see proceeded to brag rather than to
pray. 1T is better to be ashamed Of
never having done anything 20 be
proud OF than to be proud OF never
having done anything to be ashamed
Of
over his sins. and was truly humble.
He was unconscious of the condition
of others, for his own soul must be
cleaned before he could help others.
and the marginal reading of the re-
vised text would indicate that he
thought OF himself as 1.-The" sinner in
Gods sight.
The sense OF sin In the publican's
heart was good. but the sense Of for
giveness that followed was better still
as he went down to his house justi-
fed Prayer Is Gods own antido.e
for sin Sin confessed is sin COW
cred. Such a prayer God can and
does answer" (Tarbell's Guide.)

II Is also to be noted that contract
steel ships constituted the great bulk
OF the recent launchings and deitv-
cries. whereas In the corresponding
month OF 1918 the deliveries were al
most exclusively OF requisitioned steel
ships and tho launchings chiefly OF
requisitioned steel ships and contract
wood ships.

II the May record Is any criterion of
the months to follow, the current cal
endar year will go down In the history
of American shipbuilding as most
noteworthy one. The estimate for the
year is for a total of not less than
100000 gross tons of constructed
shipping. provided conditions gov

terials continue as favorable as they
have been.

where soldiers and sailors danced

LODGE FALLS FROM HIS HIGH PLACE.

We have rarely agreed with senA-
tor Lodge, Of Massachusetts,. because
he has seldom been on the right side
in any of the great issues before the
country. But heretofore we have al
ways regarded him as man of bril-
liant mind. profound learning and
some ar-statesmanlike qualities.
But the Inconsistencies which have
marked his course of recent months,
the studied attempts to make partisan
capital out of every situation, the Bit
tar and unrelenting partisan attacks
upon the president and everything
done by the chief executive have caus-
ID as to wonder what might have be

Christians do not need to pray as
tho heather do, as IL to tease God
into doing for us that which we desire.

Tin nothing be anxious: but in every
thing by prayer and supplication with
Thanksgiving, let your requests be
made known unto God"
II Is frequently harder for even the
best OF Christians to get ready to pray

forted by the stated of Scripture that
the Holy Spirit intercedes for us with
groanings which cannot be uttered.
THE LESSON CONSIDERED
Prayer Modelled Matt. 8: 5-15.)
A hypocrite il one who acts a false
part or makes false pretensions. Such
were those who loved to stand and
pray In the synagogues and in the
corners OF the streets, that they might
be seen OF men. What is the hypo-
critics reward? Praise from some
OF his fellowmen which the conscious
ness that he does not deserve IL,
perpetual dread lest they find him out.
and frequent fears OF that coming time
when the secrets OF all hearts shall be
revealed"
The disciple Of Jesus rs enjoined
to pray In private place and even in
public prayer. which. OF course. Jesus
Is not here condemning. the one who
leads should not be mindful to please
his hearers. but faithfully to repre-
sent them in praise and petition.
1t is also enjoined upon disciples
that they are not to use vain repe.i-
tons, l. e., to repeat the same words
or phrases. as the heather do 30 fire.
quently, as the prophets OF Baal did
on Mt. Carmel
The Jews had an idea that there
was efncacy In long prayers There is
OF course difference between praying
a long time and praying long pray
ers. DR.. Broadus thinks that our
Saviour could not have meant that
long continued praying is in Itself
improper, for he himself sometimes
spent whole night In prayer.
