THE QUERY OF CAIN
ir

PASTOR UNIVERSAL1ST CHURCH

u
S INCE first awakened conscience
acquainted man with the posees-
slon ot a aoul ho hn» been con-
atantly obliged to give heed to the In
dignant question traditionally accred
ited to Cain. In the Genesis legend of
tho Initial fratricide something more
Is depicted than the murder of Abel
by his brother. With the first recep
tion. by the vengeful and accusing
earth, of willfully wasted human blood,
there began the eternal conflict between
the soul's Inherent selfishness and the
promised Intimations of altruism.
With man's Increasing elevation to
higher planes of social consciousness
there drives In upon his aoul with In
creasing Insistence Cain's old, old ques
tion. "Am I my brother s keeper?" Or
ganised society Is humanity’s attempt
to find a satisfactory answer to that
question. Civilisation becomes an ac
tuality Ip place of a mere name, Just
In so far ns Its makers unhesitatingly
and unequivocally ariswer this momen
tous question In the affirmative, and
ipromptly begin the discharge of tho
obligation thus Implied and assumed.
The Bible proves Itself to be a most
, valuable and trustworthy revelation
Ifrom Ood. as thero Is reveuled to us In
these early legends their writer’s dawn
ing and unfolding consciousness of the
eternal presence of that Power which
mokes for. righteousness. And, as we
follow history on down through to the
close of the Bible story, and Into the
time when began more Intensely the
Jdttempt at the application of Its truths
and precepts, we are cheered and en
couraged by the Increasing evidences
‘ the constantly developing Instinct of
human brotherhood.
Man’s recognition of his relation to
his fellows Is not a virtue, to be wel
comed and developed, or to be denied
and neglected at will. It Is one of the
fundamental laws of human progress,
one of the Immutable laws of God, and
any attempt at Its Infraction must of
necessity be visited with Its attendant
penalty, so dramatically symbolised by
the cursing of the ground for the pun
ishment of the first murderer’s sin,
Some Individuals there are whose
dally lives would Indicate a belief that
the laws of God may, with Impunity,
be made the sport of men. The pre
vailing and popular Christian theology
makes bold provision, us one of Its
fundamental tenets, fur the successful
Infraction or evasion of divine law. But
man’s fatuous fancy and theology's In
atructlons are here sadly- at variance
with God's unmistakable teachings as
revealed In the entrancing pages of
nature’s outspread Bible, and in the In
delible records of human experience.
The logic of the situation Is simple.
If the God whom we worship shall be
able to worthily command the adora
tion and allegiance of finite l>elngH, en
dowed with aspirations after infinity,
then It must follow that our belief In
Ills Infinity and omnipotence must en
compass the absolute. Huch a faith
can not logically ascribe to Him laws
and ordinances which, by the remission
of penalty, must become void and dead.
Otherwise, our poor Intellects must
shame the omniscience of God! "Be
not deceived: God Is not mocked;
whatsoever a man soweth, that ahull he
also reap.” Whatever else men may
try to teach us concerning God’s eter
nal plan for the redemption of Ills
sons. Ills voice speaking In the si
lence of our hearts makes us able to
say with the olden writer, "He will
make the wrath of men to praise Him.”
Beforo Cain's petulant query had
ceased to tremble upon the Indignant
nir, God's answer, like an arrow, had
pierced the murderer's heart! With
accusing voice, the earth, wet with his
brother’s blood, convinced him of his
uneseapable guardianship. From that
tragic day began his bitter, bitter les
son, a lesson which was designed to
teach all the races of men that the
most unhappy and Impossible word for
human speech Is "alone.” Humanity,
walking In the footsteps of Cain, has
labored diligently toward the mastery
of this lesson, through countless blood
stained generations. Today the supreme
problem of human government Is to
persuade mankind to willingly ac
knowledge that he Is his brother's
keeper.
"God moves In a mysterious way."
He uses His own methods for the ac
complishment of His plans and pur
poses. His laws are unfailingly obeyed,
according to the divine will, and their
obedience Is secured according to His
own designs. Hurely, then, It would be
presumptuous for us to question or to
criticise the method. If our study-of hu
manity's development should reveal to
us that the cure of selfishness Is being
effected by a method of treatment
which Involved, first of all, the co
operative assistance of man’s latent
selfishness. That primitive Impulse,
which we have named the Instinct ot
self-preservation, holds within Itself
both the microbe of the deadly disease
of selfishness and the seed of the tree
of healing, whose beautiful, full-blown
flower Is altruism.
Undoubtedly the dawning of man's
consciousness of the fraternal relation
ship began with his recognition of his
brother's worth to himself, a utilization
of his co-operative value. It may be
argued that this Is but the evidence of
the existence of the gregarious Instinct
of a large portion of tho animal crea
tion. and It must be granted that It Is
un Impulse very far removed from a
REV. E. D. ELLENWOOD.
conscious and Intelligent' following In
the footsteps of Him whose chief mis
sion upon the earth It was to tench
the fatherhood of God and tho conse
quent brotherhood of. man; neverthe
less, here broke upon man’s waking
conscience the first faint glimmer of
that light of universal love, whose ra
diant noonday shone forth from the
great heart of the man whose life and
whose teachings constitute the goal of
all of our prayers for an Increase of
righteousness. Here began tho Influ
ence that shall some day make man
thankful and glad that he can not es-
raps being his brother's keeper.
ne need not be discouraged and pes
simistic, therefore. If analysis shall
reveal to us that very many of our at
tempts at social betterment have their
actual Inception In this primal Instinct
of self-preservation.
If the physical and morel plague
spots In our great dtles are abated
mainly through dread of the pestilences
which their presence may provoke,
surely the means must be Justified by
the end. If we are moved to Insist
upon the proper sanitation of our
neighbor's premises through fear that
his Illness may accomplish our (loath,
surely we are not to utterly condemn
this motive os one entirely unfit for
residence In the heart of a child of
light. If we are anxious to convert or
to suppress the anarchist because we
fear his utterances may eventually dis
rupt the government which secures us
safety of person and property, we are
not thua entirely unmindful of his claim
upon our thought and care.' The gov
ernment which protects us, also encom
passes him In Its care. "Tile Lord 1°
ever mindful of His own.” He will
constantly accomplish the deliverance
of His chosen ones, and all of His
children are His chosen ones. “The
fear of tho Lord Is the beginning of
wisdom.’’ Through our dread of tho
evil consequences of our sins of com
mission or of omission do we receive
tho first Intimation of that Impulse
which, nurtured and obeyed, shall one
day expand Into the soul’a sincere de
sire for righteousness. Our Father
who art in heaven may be trusted to
ultimately persuade us of the unes-
cnpablo truth of the brotherhood of
man. even though Ho may at first be
obliged to proceed toward that-goal,
along the well-worn pathway of our
heart’s gross selfishness.
Tho mission of Jesus Christ upon
tho earth Is to persuade man to change
the motive and the method of hta
obedience to the divine command.
Surely It was never ordained thot man
should forever remain at "the begin
ning of wisdom." We are not to be
content to pose forever as Indifferent
and unwilling servants of an Inexor
able master or as cringing and sub
servient, but secretly mutinous sub
JectB of an autocratic sovereign. Our
high privilege It Is. to be henceforth
known as friends and colaborers with
God. We are to work consciously and
with eager appreciation of our splen
did opportunity toward the bringing
In of the kingdom of God. We are to
be content with nothing less than our
greatest possible progress upward ami
away from that obedience through fear,
which is the beginning of wisdom. Be
ing taught of Christ, we are to learn
the true meaning of brotherhood. Then
shall Christianity’s organized effort to-
ward the amelioration of the condi
tions of the unfortunate and the un
wise be prosecuted with that power
which Is only possible through the In
telligent co-operatton of the head and
the heart. If. In the man whose squalid,
insanitary hovel Is a reproach and a
menace to the community, we are able
to recognize a brothel*, zharlng Impar
tially the love of a common Father,
then our efforts to persuade him to
adopt a higher standard of living and
to make for himself new Ideal*, will
assume, in our consciousness, a new
worth and dignity. He Is no longer
merely a sociological problem, to ue
solved according to the latest sociologi
cal formula, but he has become a man
and a neighbor, a man whose disap
pointments and whose triumphs pull
at heart strings Identical with our
own. Then. Indeed, does our affection
become Intimate as well as universal,
and then only may the Christ In eaoh
one of us become a savior to the man
sorely In need of fraternal counsel.
encouragement and consolation. 'The.i
do we become anxious that our lm-s

ease, shall be framed and executed to
cure rather than to punish, that th-v
shall be conceived In love, rather than
In vengeance, and that the severity of
their justice shall always be tempered
by the tenderness of their humanity.
The query of Cain Is Indeed a hard
one for most of us to answer. It Is so
Intensely and so Intimately personal In
Its nature. We are not called upon
merely to express our faith In the uni
versal brotherhood of man. That were
comparatively easy of demonstration
All things indicate the solidarity of
the race. The question is not whether
all the different men whom we muv
meet and know, all the teeming multi
tudes of the earth, with their widelv
varying physiognomies and spiritual
characteristics, are members of one
great brotherhood. The question which
you and I are called upon to answer lr,
"Am I my brother’s keeper’!” It is one
thing to have an indefinite sense of
kinshipwith all the sons and daughters
of God. It Is quite anbther, and quite
a different thing to know, beyond nil
question and beyond all protest, that
some one particular Individual, dl».
credited by polite society, unkempt and
unlovely to look upon, marred by sen
suality and selfishness, forever rebel
lious and unthankful, his liberty forfeit
to the law he persistently repudiates. Is
still my brother, and entitled, by this
Indissoluble bond, to my forgiveness
and my love.
Christ alone Is able so to train our
hearts that willingly and unhesitating- 1
ly they shall give to this age-lonr
question the answer which the eternal
years of God shall ultimately demand
of the heart of humanity.
