Prayer la,absolutely necessary to
the spirituaI life. It is to the spiritual

life. Men ought to pray under every

sorrow and burdens for strength to-1
endure, in times of ji»y and success for [
grace to behave aright. Prayer ougli* v

Italians Revert to
Sails for Training
Rome.—Giant modern three-masted
sailing vessels, built of iron ami with
a speed up to 14 knots, are being used
by Italy as training craft for naval

After several years wherein steam
ships were employed for training pur
poses. the navy department lias de
rided to return definitely to the sail
ing vessels. The opinion here is- that
the instruetion the midshipman re-
eeives aboard these boats is superior
to that gained aboard a strap) or
motor boat. - • £
The Italian navy now has one su

The apparent delay in the vindication
of the church may dishearten some
and cause others to mock (II £eter

emn warning against allowing appar
ent delay of tin* coming of the Lord
to crowd out our praying. Though
tmany may give up. we should be as
sured that genuine faith will abide
and that the divine promise concern
ing the coming of Christ shall he ful
filled.
HI. The Prayer of the Proud Phar
isee (W. 9-12).
1. He ttaik a striking attitude (▼.
ID.
The Jewish custom was to stand
while praying, but the word "stood"
implies the assumption of an osten
tatious position. He was self-righteous
and trusted in him§t*lf.
2., He prayed with himsglf .(vv.
11. 12).-
He used the name of God, but
wtfs really, a soliloquy. He pretended
to be tli&hkiug God when he was real
ly complimenting himself—rehearsing
his own goodness. , His whole thought
centered in himself. He congratulated
himself for his morality (v. 11). He
thanked God that he was not as other
men are. such as extortioner*, unjust,
adulterers, or even as the publican
who was standing afar off. One who
has been kept from these gross sins
ought to he grateful to God hut should
not set himself above big fellow men
because of It. He congratulated hi it
self for his religjous merits (v. 12).
He fasted twice a week and gave
tithes of all lie |>ossessed. He thus in
formed God 'll tat lie - did more than
what was required, implying that God
was under obligation -to him.
IV. The Prayer of the Humble Pub
lican (v. 13).
In contrast with thjs supposed saint
stood the publican, whose shame kept
hipi from even looking up to heaven,
beating upoir his breast as a sign of
anguish of soul and trying out to God
to be merciful to him. a sinner.
