TIIM ATLANTA GKORGIAX AND NEWS. MTUKDAY. Al'UIL THE QUERY OF CAIN ir is By REV. EVERETT DEAN ELLENWOOD, | PASTOR UNIVERSAL1ST CHURCH IIHMIHHIHMHIHI 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 designed to assist In tho great wodi of emancipating humanity fre^n it* thrandom of Ignorance and poverty atM> Indolence and moral and physical d| 9 . 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.
