m THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. BATrnnAT. at-ofst n. ism 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.
