A Sunday School lesson by Rev P B Fitzwater D D Moody Bible Institute Chicago, published under copyright 1918 by Western Newspaper Union. The piece presents devotional exhortation and scriptural reflection styled for church instruction.
Lesson outlines Luke xvii 11 14 and Psalm 51 17 stressing prayer as vital to spiritual life. The widow’s plea illustrates steadfast petition to God for rights and mercy. The proud Pharisee’s ostentatious prayer contrasts genuine humility before God, urging faithful, persistent prayer despite delays in divine response.

A moral contrast is drawn between a self congratulating Pharisee and a contrite publican. The Pharisee boasts of religious deeds while the publican pleads for mercy, illustrating true justification by humility and repentance.
