Lesson
(By O. E. SELLERS, Director of Even
Ins Department The Moody Bible Instl
tute of Chicago.)
LESSON FOR JUNE 14
THE FRIEND OF 8INNER8.
. LESSON TEXT-Luke 18:M4; 19:1-10.
GOLDEN TEXT-"! came not to cal
the righteous but sinners." Mark 1:17.
The first section of our lesson Is th
beginning of a new paragraph (set
R. V.) and contains ono of tho Mas
ter's best-known parables. Immedi
ately preceding this Is the parablo of
the unjust judge and tho lmportunato
widow. Wo are plainly told (v. 9)
why tho Master spako this parablo.
It Is easy to say that thoeo who trust
ed In their own righteousness and "set
all otherB at naught" (R. V.) were the
Pharisees, but such is not tho case;
and this parable is a warning to us,
lest we also trust our own righteous
ness (Isa. 64:6). Uaing this particu
lar class as a background, Jesus
paints, In words of simple grandeur,
a picture quite familiar throughout the
ages. In it he reveals tho falseness of
human standards and declares the
judgment- of heaven. The contrast is
vivid. Let us look at (1) the Pharl
see. Tho illuminating phrase is In the
words "ho prayed with himself"
- (v. 11). Ostentatiously tho Pharisees
separated themselves from their fel
low men and this separation seems to
have extended even into his prayer
life, and ho is withdrawn from God
also. This is an appalling picture
of the man who trusts only himself.
Examine his prayer and we see tho
supposed prayer is really a paean of
self-exaltation.
Humility of Heart
(2) The Publican regarded himself
as "tho sinner" (v. 13 R. V. marg.).
Ho knew ho was a great, an irrelig
ious offender against law and grace.
He had sacrificed everything to ac
quire money. Ho comes with no out
ward show except an abundant evi
dence of tho ehame and humility of
his heart. JIo also was excluded from
men but not from God. Burdened
with tho sense of his sin, ho casts' him
self upon the mercy of God. He is
absolutely devoid of any trust in him
self, any contempt for others, and
makes a straight, earnest, passionate
abandonment of himself and his need
to God. He goes away "justified"
(judged right). Why? Because he
had taken tho right place, a sinner's
place beforo God, and found pardon.
II. The Second Section is a story
and deals with an individual case, Zac
cheus, who was a "chief Publican."
Jesus Bought him (see Golden Text),
whereas Zaccheus was animated by
curiosity, and the writer informs us
he was small of stature, hence the
necessity of climbing the eycamoro
tree. He went up the tree because
of curiosity, he came down because
of conviction. He wanted to see this
man in the center of th6 crowd and
was amazed to hear Jesus call him by
name.
Mutt Yield Wealth.
Zaccheus was rich, dishonest, dissat
Isfled, but desperately in earnest, and
a man of prompt decision. The esti
mation of bis fellow-citizens is indi
cated by v. 7. Notwithstanding all of
this Zaccheus was not so wedded to
his money as to let it keep him out
of the kingdom. In chapter 18 we
road of the rich man who "lacked ono
thing." He was lost "went away"
because ho would not yield his wealth
(see also 18:26, 27). What took placo
within the house of Zaccheus we ore
not told, but for the Master to enter
was looked upon either as amazing
ignorance of Zaccheus' character or
else extreme caxeleBsnesB concerning
the maintenance of his own character.
Jesus was dealing with ono man, mot
the multitude, hence he leaves them to
their amazement While this is true,
yet wo can surmise something of that
interview by the result (v. 8) for Zac
cheus 'seems to have made a publlo
' avowal of bis ethical and moral
change of heart. Note the steps:
(1) He "sought to see Jeaus," John
3:14, 16; Isa. 45:22. (2) He was very
much in earnest, "climbed a sycamore
tree," Luke 13:24. (3) He" made no
delay, "mako haste" Isa. 56:6. Tho
result was that, of great blessing to
tho people and joy In tho heart of
Zaccheus. (4) He woe obedient, joy
ously and promptly. The genuineness
of his transformation was evidenced
by the way It affected his pocketbook.
JIo mado abundant restitution and
gave bountifully to tho poor. Tho
lovo of God shed abroad in tho heart
of a miserly, selfish man or church
will promoto honesty both to God and
man.
From tho combined parable and
.story we con read tho lesson that Je
sus 1b the friend of- sinnera and not
of sin.
Thus the friend of sinners seeks and
saves men. Ho seea tho acta and the
attitude of men and is ready to justify
those whoso attitude 1b that of humil
ity and supplication. He seeks men.
oven as ho sought Zaccheus, and as
he eaves bo produces in them thoso
fruits of righteousness which nro the
evidence and demonstration of their
salvation. The scribes and tho Phari
sees saw Jesus eating with tho publi-
Icons and expressed this disapproving
surprlso only to receive his rebuke.

Maudle Lalor What do you know
about it, Dad? Don't rebuke a lady.
When you played "Hamlet" for the

Alice Give us some more of it, Dad.
It puts me In mind of the time I was
jwith AL Barnes' rep, doing flag sta

- Leila Westcott -I shall never forget
Sam for giving me that chance. I
'had a presentiment that something
jwould happen
Billy Daly Something would. One
week out and another buneh of trust
ing troupers would go over the brink.
It takes a personality to head a pro
duction. Now, I have an Idea for a
play written around my specialty. It
iwould be a' riot
Maudle Lalor Put clamps on the
icomedy. What chance has your
iGeorgle Cohan imitations got In a
ircal show? You can't get booking
;now. You never had any luck since
you and Susie separated.
Algy Separated, eh? Who got tho
icustody of tho scenery, Billy?
Leila Westcott When I think of
the awful deal poor Susie got when
JBhe married Billy Daly! A man who
'never got a bow or a curtain that ho
didn't steal, Somo day Cohan will
(hear of his work and havo him ar
rested for malicious mischief.
. Alice Le Duo I knew Susie well.
Sho came from Yonkers and got her
first part in "The Fly By Nights."
She only played In the chorus two
weeks when she had a fat part hand
led to her. The night before we came
in for our run the author came out
Ito see us, and the minute he saw
jSusie he wanted to write her a star
jrin vehicle right away.
j Algy E was wise. Susie is a one
.best bet, as y' s'y over 'ere.
j Leila Westcott Did Artie Wrltem
have a case ot heart trouble like that?
Alice Le Due Did he? I was
'standing next to her after the second

Dad Wadell The gentleman didn't
mean a word of it He was proba
bly trying some new lines, to hear
how they'd sound.
Maudle Lalor Aw, don't y think a
man can have any real sentiment?
Certainly, he meant It. Artie's whole
family is that way. I knew his broth
er, Wallte, before he married Elsie
Van Allen.
Leila Westcott Was he senti
mental, like Artie?
Dad Wadell Sentiment is a thing
apart from me. I remember
Alice Le Due Wallle was there
with the romantic material. Elsie was
ono of the Flying Van Aliens. She
did an aerial serpentine for a close.
Wallle was In the house one night
caught her act, and because she put
him In mind of a flyln' angel he made
Artie Introduce him, and married her
the next week.
Leila Westcott That's what I call
putting the "rome" In romance. If
the Wrltem boys are that kind of
stock, I want to meet Artie as soon
as possible
Algy That Wallle must 'ave 'ad a
wonderful Imagination. Susie mlde
me think of a flyln' pelican.
Leila Westcott I want to see Sam
Putton again. If Artie Wrltem was
the author he had in mind for the
play, it's going to be my name on a
Putton contract An author like that
puts soul in his work. When I
know he wrote It it will magnetize
me.
Billy DalyYou need magnetisln';
you don't attract anything now.
Alice Le Due You're speakln',
Leila. Artie is the man yon needed
to write you something. I can see
you living his characters.
Dad Wadell The seven ages of
man I could do. I remember
Algy I can pliy an old man so
'e'll look younger than 'is grand
children. That's art ol' chap.
Maudle Lalor It's a wonder you
never met Artie. His personality and
yours are exactly alike.
Alice Le Due I bet the minute he
sees her It will be Wallle's romance
repeated; eh, Maudle?
Leila Westcott Oh, girU!
- Dad Waddell Years have brought
him discretion. I remember
Leila Westcott I'm going to accept
Sam's offer. I'm positive Artie is his
author. Something tells me
Algy It means a dinner for us on
your 'appy wedding d'y, Leila.

About the Modern Jail.
A jail Is a place where people go
when they are too poor to get ball or
hire the right kind of a lawyer.
The object of a jail is to protect so
ciety from amateur criminals until
they have been In jail long enough to
become Incurable. They are then let
loose in order that the newspapers
may be able to print enough informa
tion about their activities to keep up
their circulation.
Jails are usually made out of stone
and Iron. The atone, which Is pur
posely thick, Is used 'to keep out the
rain and to protect the prisoners from
sunshine and fresh air. The iron Is
used to enter their souls with.

are provided with real bathtubs, where

"Ah, yes, there are still true and
loyal souls in this sad world," mur
mured the solemn individual in tho tortoise-shell
glasses. "I used to know a
dear girl It was ten long years ago
and not a year has passed since that
she hasnt written me a birthday let

the same: 'Dear Alfred, I can't ever
forget not If I live to be a. hundred,
this day of all the days In 'the year.
Let me once again wish you long life
and happiness with all my heart' etc."
"Very sweet of the girl," said the
stout young man with tho amazing
waistcoat, "very sweet ot hor, In

dashed letter to me on a different day
every year."

HAD NO RATIONS TO SPARE
Good Reason Why Confederate Com
mander Was Willing to See His
Prisoners Escape.
When, at Gaines Mill In 1862, the
6th Texas captured two whole regi
ments of Union soldiers, tho Toxans
were alf very proud of their achieve
ment. One of them has described an
amusing scene In connection with the
surrender. '
Whontho Union .Officers gave up
their swords to Col. Upton, thoy were
so prompt In the duty that he was
compelled to lay down the frying pan
which he carried In the place of a
sword and hold the weapons presented
In his arms.
Just then he noticed a commotion at
the far end of the captured regiments.
That was near the timber, and a squad
of the prisoners were making an ef
fort to pass by "Big John" Ferris of
Company B, who stood there unaided,
endeavoring to Intercept them.
Springing upon a log, tho armful ot
swords dangling about in every direc
tion, Upton shouted:
"John Ferris, what are you trying to
do now?"
"I am trying to keep thoso fellows
from escaping," yelled Big John.
"Let them go, you fool!" shouted
back Upton. "We'd rather fight than
feed them!"
Followed Her Vanished Nest
This story of a thrush that missed,
and caught Its train comos from Lima
vady, In Ulster, Ireland. The bird had
built its nest under a first-class car
riage Immediately over tho steam heat
ing pipe, and notwithstanding that the
carriage traveled between Llmavady
and Londonderry, the nest contained
four eggs.
The institution of the summer serv
ice of trains caused trouble Tho car
riage left Londonderry In the evening
at 4:40 instead of 4:50, and whon the
mother thrush, who had presumably
been on a foraging expedition, re
turned, she found carriage, nest and
eggs had disappeared. Sho was no
ticed at Londonderry in apparent dis
tress, and tho station master apprised
Llmavady of the circumstances and
asked the railway peoplo thero to look
out for tho bird, suggesting that sho
would probably arrlvo by tho next
train. Tho bird duly arrived at Llma
vady either by train or air and re
sumed her task of hatching tho eggs.
The sympathetic railway officials
havo decided to withdraw tho carriage
from service pending the hatching of
tho eggs.
He Was Right.
