THE GOLDEN SILENCE OF GOD
“BUT HE ANSWERED HER NOT A WORD"
By REV; JOHN E. WHITE
'PASTOR SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH.
ILENCE I* coldcn.” Tee, to the
man who keep* It "Golden 1
'to Von Moltke, who knew how
to keep silence In seven languages
"x Men” to General Grant, the aphynx
of camp and cabinet; “golden” to the
man who masters Ills soul In provo
cation and grips his own rplrit when
tempted to angry speech; "golden” t<
the man who hides confusion and Ig
norance behind a wise taciturnity.
Hut how for the man who has asked
1 a question and gets silence for an an
swer: the man who states his case
and Is denied response; the man who
has sought an audience >to And only
deaf ears and dumb lips; how for the
woman who cried bitterly, "Have mer
cy upon me, oh, thou son of David,
my daughter Is grievously vexed with
a devil?”
Is silence golden? There is nothing
more exasperating than silence when
one wants speech. It frets the spirit
as nothing else when we want response,
to be met by silence. It Is Insulting
to our self-respect. It Is an affront,
grievous Indeed, and discouraging In
the extreme.
"But He answered her not a word.”
Why did Christ not speak; what meant
that silence? He did speak. His si
lence was a loud voice. It said more
to that woman than nny word His Ups
could frame. It Inspired her nnd urged
her and moved her Into a reslstless-
ness of prayer and a grandeur of faith
which caused Christ to exclaim In sur
prise: ”Oh, woman, great Is thy faith.”
Now the disciples misinterpreted the
Silence of Jesus. These well Informed
guardians seem to have a strange habit
of misunderstanding their Master. They
thought It meant that He was dis
pleased; that It was contempt on his
K rt, or that He was tired of such prob-
ns and had shut Himself up In si
lence. They said: "Bend her away,
for she crleth after us.”
Doubtless they wondered that the
woman wouldn't take the hint and get
Insulted or rebuked and leave off her
continual crying. That's because they
missed the meaning of His silence.
They didn't hear the voice of that si
lence as It went to her quickened heart,
saying, "Oh, woman, I hear you; 1 love
you: I am burdened with your prayer.
Pray on. Thy prayer will fling down
these narrow walls of prejudice against
thee, for they are already down In
Me All faith Is God's, only be It pure
and strong."
She did pray on. Then he answered
her not a word for ao long. His silence
moved her. It Inspired her mind to
wit and holy retort, when at length the
words do come. "Truth, lord," how
meek and yet keen Is her confidence.
"Yet the dogs eat of the crumbs that
fall from the Master's table."
"Golden silence." It was the soil In
which faith found Its firm rootage.
Happy woman. Bhe heard the voice of
His silence. Better than the elect and
the favored few, she grasped the secret
of the Lord's love, though "He answer
ed her not a word." «
The Problem.
The mystery of a silent God Is the
sorrowful perplexity of human life.
Atheism solves It by declaring that
there Is no God. Indifference solves
the problem by failure to recognise It.
The morally stunted solve It by their
Ignorance of It. The optimist solves
It by an attitude of thoughtless revelry.
The pessimist solves It by challenging
the goodness of everything. And some
times the Christian solves the problem
of a silent God by referring It to the
realm of divine mystery and Inscru
table providence. The ostrich hides his
head In the sand and thinks he Is
safely hidden. But we cannot meet the
shnrp cry of this age by denying It.
The silence of God Is an Issue of faith
to be met. It cannot be Ignored. It
ought not to be smoothed over as It
were of no account. If It Is not your
personal problem, It Is the problem of
your brother. Within a little time I
could carry you to a home where It Is
the vital problem of faith and hope at
thla hour. One hears me this morning
whose faith staggered under Its burden
of perplexity for many a day.
God seems to be silent. The heavens
seem to have no voice. A while ago
the entire Christian population of Ar
menia was crying to God for .deliver
ance from the murderous Turk. The
Indlgnntlon of the world was stirred
by the sultan's Indifference to the
wholesale massacre. He had the pow
er to stop It If he would use It. In
London .Mr. Meyer was addressing a
congregation on the Macedonian out
rage. ■
exclaimed: “we must arrest the Turk
In his terrible course." From the great
crowd Instantly arose a deep-volcad
groan: "Blot him out." The sultan of
Turkey could have stopped the out
rage in an hour. Ho could God.
There are wrongs and cruelties un
speakable at home. The press has
teemed with exposures of the atro.
clous money shark In our own city.
The sum of cruel villainy and Injustice
In this world every day Is beyond
pall. In gilded circles of society
scarlet woman Is a crowned queen. In
the low alleys vice soaka Innocent young
children In the slime. Hear the cries
that are going up from endangered
manhood crying for help, from Imper
iled virtue crying for help, from broken
homes pleading for a token of God's
love and comfort. Why doesn't God
speak? Why do the heavens seem
brass? We are told to ask and we
shall receive, to seek and we shall flnd,
to knock and It.shall be opened unto
us. Oh, how often have we asked;
how often have we sought, and how
much are our poor hands bruised and
bleeding with knocking? But how si
lent God Is. Is It true then that "life
Is a narrow vale between the cold and
barren peaks of two eternities; we
strive In vain to look beyond the
heights; we cry aloud and the only
answer Is the echo of our walling cry?”
oh, the bnffllng silence! I am not voic
ing an Imagination. You have thought
the thought If you haven't framed It
Into words. And If you have not
thought It, you will In a few days, when
you stand In the presence of some sor
row that has snapped your heart In
twain. Brethren, our Lord Jesus Christ
has made atheism a momentary iknmI-
blllty for us all In His cry nt Calvary,
My God, m>* God, why hast Thou
forsaken Me!" The picture In Tancred
of the hero—a nineteenth century up-
to-date Englishman, Journeying to
Mount Blnal, nnd prostrating himself
on Its bald summit, crying for a new
revelation, Is a pathetic Illustration of
the soul’s Impressive protest against
the silence of God.
The Key to the Problem,
Now, thank God, there Is an answer
to all the bewilderment of doubt and
question, and there Is, I believe, but
one. It Is an answer seldom Insisted
REV. DR JOHN E, WHITE.
on, but when It Is, the problem of God's
silence Is not a problem, but a revela
tion.
The silence of God Is one of the
modes of IBs expression. The silent
Heaven Is but a form of dlvlnest em
phasis. It Is one of the ways, one' of
the oldest and meaningful ways God
has of, speaking to man. This truth
Ailed my heart with all the Joy of a
new thought this summer as one day I
picked up a book and read the dedica
tion on the title page. Here Is what I
read: .
"A youth complained to his mother
that his prayers contained no sure
sense that God heard nr would answer.
The mother replied: 'May not your Im
pulse to pray be God's manifestation
of Himself to you?' As the youth grew
to manhood this hint unfolded Into an
Interpretation of life as a whole. This
book is a product thereof. To whom
should It be dedicated but to the moth
er who gave the first hint, 'Do you
not see a great truth there?* God’s
silence, that which we call His silence.
Is Just His way of making us hear
Him. It keeps us qn our knees. It
creates and sustains our yearning up
ward."
Bllence Is God's oldest habit It Is
the oldest thing In the universe. It Is
older than speech, older than song,
older than prayer. And even on tha
ordinary plane nt our thought we know
that silence Is a part of speech and
the most Impressive part of It. There
Is not a human thought or emotion that
cannot be expressed by alienee. In
comedy or tragedy silence Is the key to
meaning. • Extreme passions as they
Increase In vehemence move to
ward their culmination In a silence
that Is more eloquent than words. Ex
treme anger or Joy are speechless. We
all know the expressiveness of the ora
tor's pause. And the orator gets his
loudest applause In the stillness that
answers his peroration.
Infinitely grander Is this fact when
we stand amid the silence of God. He
Is pausing, but His speech moves on.
His silence Is a message to the world
so tremendous that humanity does not
know what to make of It. Therefore,
our bewilderment and doubt But we
have gotten a great secret of life when
we have realised It as a fact that si
lence Is a divine Inteutlon for our good
and that Our prayers are most answered
when they seem most denied. Instead
of wishing It otherwise, could we real
ise the value of God’s silence we would
say: "We thank God for His words and
for what He has said, but most of
all, we thank Him for His silence."
The Silence of God in Nature.
It Is a mode of God’s speech. Hero
God proclaims the process of human
civilisation. He spread mountain and
valley and plain all wrapped In silence
before the human race and sold search
out their secrets. He did not divulge
their wealth. So man plunged at the
mountain to wrest from Its secret
treasure house the hidden ’gold. Hs
laid before the race the raw materials,
but He did not give him tools.
He created silent energies and left
them slumbering In earth and air, but
He did not give man the formulas of
chemical and electric action.
From the bosom of silence and se
cret man has wrought out the re
demption of progress and civilization.
Would It have been better, kinder or
more generous If all had been explained
and prepared to man’s hand? Is It not
a sublime mercy to humanity even now
that God Is silent about the new
forces that nature will yet yield up and
secrets that man will yet win by
thought and toll from the silent and
mysterious volume of nature? God
has spoken Just enough In the Book
of Nature to create and sustain eager
ness and aspiration In the human heart
to unravel the mysteries and search
out the secrets.
The Silence of God In the Bible.
To the man who Is expecting .to flnd
every question definitely set at rest,
the Bible Is a most unsatisfactory book.
God has spoken In the book of His
Revelation, but He has not told all He
knows. The Bible Is exhaustive on no
subject. Its silence where man would
have spoken Is God’s proclamation of
Himself as Its Author. A man would
have told It alt. But profoundly God
leaves the greatest questions of life
unsolved, suggested, thrust to the front
but not answered. The Bible Is the
boldest book. It awakens the mind,
stirs up the heart and then dares to
challenge both mind and heart by what
It leaves unsaid. Open an acorn; In
It we flnd the oak In all Its parts—
root, trunk, branches. Look Into the
Bible; in It you flnd all books Involved
—all sciences, all philosophies. The
Bible Is the seed corn of all Intellectual
harvests. But how silent It Is on such
questions as God’s orlgl
of creation, the origin
mysteries of Providence. Will we say
that man Is worse off for It? Rather
Is not man what he Is, a dependent.
Ignorant, consciously limited creature,
' erefore, a prayerful creature, be-
>od has left these great problems
of Himself and the universe for man
to struggle with.
8olomon spoke wisely: "It la the
glory of God to conceal a thing, but
the honor of kings Is to search out a
matter."
The Silence in the 8oul.
Here we front again the question
with which we began. Why does not
God manifest Himself beyond the pos
sibility of doubt In such a voice i*
such a manner, that we Would knm.
then and there tluit He Is speaklna" t
am weighted with the woe of my sins*
I am bruised with the rod of grief
and affliction. I am troubled with the
pair, of living In the solitude of ml
sorrow. Why will not God, if He love.
If He cares, lay His hand* on my apbn
and make me know Him as I need and
want to know Him? Oh, my friend,
that is exactly what God Is doing.hi.
silence Is the gospel of His patience
the dearest, sweetest gospel ever told’
For WOO years He has paused—that
His speech thlght go on. Calvary «•..
Gods peroration, and from that Hi,
words of love passed into the silence
of patience. He has spoken In Hi,
Son for all your need: answered your
pVayer before you made It. He Is wait.
Ing for you to hear what He has said
He has commanded Himself to silence
that you may hear It. "God. who in
times past spoke to us through the
prophets, hath In these latter days
spoken with us by His Son.” Ever
since Christ came a Sabbatic calm has
reigned In heaven and on earth, while
God has waited, holding His wrath,
holding open the door of His mercy
for us to hear the gospel of His pa.
tlence and his love.
Do you ask then, as Philip, "Show
us the Father?" Do you ask then,
"Why does God not apeak?” Listen to
the voice of-1800 years of silence: "This
la my beloved Son; hear ye Him."
"And If ye will not hear Him. you
would not hear any one, even though
he were raised from the dead before
your eyes." The coming of Christ was
God’s full and final manifestation nf
Himself to man. Sinful man, complain
no more that God Is silent to your cry,
when It la you who Is deaf to His
voice.
Disappointed soul, complain no more
that the heavens are • brass, when It
Is your unbelief that neglects to hear
what God Is saying.
Sorrowful one, moan no more In an-
S ilsh against the silence of your
eavenly Father, when God with whom
a thousand years la as a day and a day
as a thousand years has Just paused
at the cross to wait upon your slow
ness to hear His word of consolation
In Jesus Christ, the compassionate One.
What more can God say than to you He
has said?
THE JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION
By REV. JAMES W. LEE
PASTOR TRINITY METHODIST CHURCH.
L EAVING Atlanta for New York,
by, the Seaboard Air Line, with
a view to finishing the journey
by sea from Norfolk, gave me the op
portunity of visiting the site of the
coming Jamestown Exposition. The
grounds comprise about 100 acres, lying
on the south shore of Hampton Roads,
and between the four cities of Norfolk,
Portsmouth, Newport News nnd Hamp
ton. While these four cities are sep
arated each from the other, they do
tinlle to form one business center and
maritime port. They form the chief
harbor on the Atlantic coast for ship
ping coal nnd lumber, nnd one of the
largest porta In tha United States for
cotton and oyitera. Here Is the larg
est peanut market In the world, and
here, too, at Newport News, on the
north shore of Hampton Roads, Is the
largest shlp-bulldlng plant In the world.
Norfolk will be the headquarters for
the exposition, but all the tidewater
Virginia cities are equally concerned
In Its upbuilding nnd success. This
seaboard world's fair Is Intended to
celebrate the establishment of the first
Anglo-Saxon porinnncnt settlement of
people on the American continent. Eng
lish-speaking people occupied the spot
known ever since as Jamestown on the
18th of May, H07. It Is eminently fit
ting. therefore, that the three hun
dredth anniversary of this event, which
marks the tercentennial birthday of
our nation, should bo celebrated In n
style up to the overwhelming propor
tions to which, as a people, we have
grown In three hundred years. There
Is more of romance back of the James
town Exposition than Is to be found
underlying any other ever held before
In this country. Saint Augustine, Flor
ida, was settled by the Hpantards In
1588, on a spot that had been visited
by Ponce DeLeon, as early as 1612, 20
years after the discovery or America
In 1482. But though Saint Augustine
was settled forty-two years beforo
Jamestown, there Is nothing In Its his
tory approaching the picturesque
events connected with the settlement of
Oie Virginia town. Tha Latins who
Came to Florida and occupied, ground
28 miles south of the mouth of St.
Johns river, sought the new world
with entirely different motives from
such as led the English to Jamestown.
The Latins were moved to adventure
by love for gain, the English by love
for freedom. The purpose to celebrate
the nchlevcmentp of the Jamestown
pioneers nnd their successors In tho
making of American history Is a lofty
one. and It Is not strange, therefore,
that all the states In the Union are
making appropriations sufliclent to
rnnke the event memorable.
By right of discovery all America
was claimed by Spain nfler 1482, nnd
If the Spaniards had been successful
In the great sea battle that destroyed
the so-called Invincible Armada, doubt
less Spain, nnd not England, would
have colonised the new world. But
the euccees of tho English In obllter-
g the enormous Spanish fleet quick
ened the, ambition of her peoplo to
reach out for new ground beyond tha
Atlantic. •
Even In 1584, four yeara before the
destruction of the Armada, Sir Walter
Raleigh, one of the greatest heroes of
England's heroic age, obtained a char
ter for the colonisation of Virginia.
He sent two of his captains to chart
her coast and explore her rivers. After
their return he sent out a colony under
Sir Ralph Lane. The colonists re
mained only a year, and those not
killed by the Indians or destroyed by
disease were taken back to England
by Sir Frnncla Drake, other expedi
tions started out and failed. It was not
until December, 1808, that the party
left England In three frigates, com
manded by Raleigh's captains, destined
not only to reach the new world, but
to hold It for English civilisation for
all time to come. Having landed, the
pioneers erected a tent, and nalllnf a
rude board between trees they mads a
reading desk for their chaplain, the
Rev. Robert Hunt, a clergyman of the
Church of England. In this rude
structure was heard the first sermon
In the English tongue ever delivered In
America. There were 105 fit the first
ssttlers, and Captain John Smith was
one of them.' He had been an enthu
siastic student of 'Machlavelll and Mar
cus Aurelius. A born leader; he was
soon the governor of the early settlers.
Every schoolboy knows how, In his at.
tempts to get food to relievo the starv-
have clubbed him to death but for tho
Intervention of the Princess Pocahon
tas. Smith's head bed already been
laid on a stone by order of the chief,
when Pocahontas, h(p daughter, got the
DR J. W. LEE.
Englishman's head In her arms and
laid her own upon his to eave him
from death. The Princess Pocahontas
saved Smith's life again by Informing,
him of a ptof of her father against
him. This same Indian princess was
brought a prisoner to Jamestown by
Captain Argali, In 1613. In 1614 she
married John Rolfe, embraced Chris
tianity and sailed to England with her
husband In 1818. During her residence
of seven months In England her old
friend. Captain John Smith, petitioned
Queen Anne on her behalf. She embark
ed with her husband for Virginia in
1817, but died off Gravesend. She left,
me eon. from whom some of the first
families of Virginia claim to be de
scended, among them a branch of the
Randolphs.
It was in Jamestown, In the old wood
en church, that Governor Yeardley
summoned the first legislative body
ever called In America, when wae for
mally opened the general assembly of
Virginia.
From Jamestown grew alt the settle
ments that spread over Virginia, and
Virginia's success opened the way for
all the settlements which covered the
coasts from Florida to Canada. It Is
these events and results that the
Jamestown tercentennial exposition
will emphasise In ISO". They certainly
appeal to the Imagination of the civil
ised world ns no other events of
American history do.
The grounds are the most beautiful
and attractive upon which any exposi
tion was ever held. They front on
one side Hampton Roads, where the
ships at the first settlers found shelter,
where one may .study, at first
hand, tracts of colonial, revolutionary
and civil war episode*. One can
itand on the fair ground* and *ee In
plain view Old Point Comfort, named
by the pioneer*. He can see where
the memorable sea fight took place
between the Merrlmac and the Monitor.
Work on the buildings of the exposi
tion Is advancing rapidly. They will
be completed easily In time for the
opening. From a pamphlet Issued by
the exposition management the fol
lowing attractions are scheduled for
the Virginia tide water fair:
