UPHOLDS SUICIDE THEORY.
Reputable Atlanta Physicians Testify in the
Noted Kloeckler Case.
The second investigation by a cor.
oner’s jury at Atlanta Into the cause
that produced the death of Miss So
phie Kloeckler, whose body was drag
ged from the depths of Lakewood on
May 2fith, was begun Wednesday
morning at 11 o’clock.
Several reputable Atlanta physi
cians were examined and they were
agreed that it would have been prac
tically. impossible for a strangler to
have cnoked the girl to death without
leaving marks upon her cheeks. They
were likewise agreed that the clotted
blood in the tissues of the neck,
which were shown by the autopsy,
was caused by the embalmer, al
though, said they, it would have been
possible for it to have been caused
by strangulation, which occurs in
drowning.
After listening to a lot of conflict
ing testimony the verdict of the new
jury was that Sophie Kloeckler came
to her death by drowning, but wheth
er she leaped into the water to end
her own life, or accidentally fell into
the lake, or was thrown into the wa
ter by a murderer, they could not and
did not say. Udder the evidence the
jury declared all they could decide
was that cteath was due to drownia-p. -
aad they added that her drowning
was from M .. causes —-• unknown.
This leaves the tragedy at lAke
wood as much a mystery as ever.

pastor of the Washington Avenue Baptist
Church. He tool, his text from I. Peter
v: He f- careth “Casting all your care upon Him, for

“The greatest discovery of 'he twen

an< i then it will be seen that God does not

science, if a certain learned professor of
one of our largest universities, is deemed a
trustworthy the line interpreter, He wisely drew
between Christianity and infidel
ity as between believing that God cared
for us and that He did not care, and
stated that the leading scientists were in
fidels.
Lest such statements upset or weaken
the faith of some of us, let us see what the
weight of of probability is for the realizing
these presumptive propheci tes. Let it at
the very start be remembered that any
more definite scientific discovery of God
than we now have is unlikely. And this

graye. that precious consciousness of His
care for you, and that you are living in the
light of His face is too sacred to ever bend
to scientific formula, and too mystical_to
be expressed in the cold accuracy of scien
tific tei'ms.
We are told that when this improb
able, to our thinking impossible, God dis
covery occurs it will be found that
does not care. All present evidences of
His care are ignored. Facts, upon which
are stamped indelibly God’s kindly im
print, are scept aside, facts as stubborn
as the immovc hility of the mountains, and
the existence o. the ocean and the shining
of the sun.
There is, for instance, that stubborn
thing called conscience to be dealt with.
That stands out as a very Gibraltar of
protest against the assertion that God does
not care. In all the history of mortals
conscience has been regarded as God’s
handwriting on the wall, telling man he
must do the right and must not do the
wrong. True, it does not tell him what la
right and what is wrong, That is a thing
of fluctuating standard, Always diner
ence of opinion about that, because de
pendent upon the man's intelligence that
owns the conscience. And any certain
type of intelligence depends upon the age
and civilization in which he lives, circum
stances, moral and religious ideals. Thus
it is that the truest standard for the en
lightenment of conscience is Christianity.
Christian ethics, 'springing from the Ser
mon on the Mount, is universally standard recog
nized man’s truest and highest
of enlightenment.
But on what higher authority rests this
sense of “oughtness” as to the doing of
right and wrong? God demands it, we
say. The Creator has a right to impose
terms upon His creation. We recognize
our obligation to Him. Yes, but because
tlie moral sense rests upon an intuition of
Gftd’s perfect morality. We could not feel
any obligation to God unless we felt Him
worthy of that obligation. We believe
Him to embody the ideal and perfect mor
ality. His sense of obligation to us. then,
is the sanction of our sense read of that obligation love to

true that we are under obligation to Him
because He is under obligation to us. We
nevcr spea k of it that way. We seldom, if
ever, think of it that way. The more ex
pressive side of the divine nature occupies
our thought. God is so pleased to do for
us, His blessings are so much more truly
the manifestation of His love than of any
other characteristic. But the divine ra
tionality expresses itself in justice and
morality as truly as in Jove. We are con
SCIOUS ever of our demerit, insignificance,
dependence, see all divine favor to be an
emanation of His love. The Creator must
make provision for His erected. The ne
cessity of His own nature demands it. The
divine Father, as well as the human father,
must support His child. Conscience in us

Then there are man’s religious instincts
to be accounted for. These are not ac
quired. Neither civilization nor Chris
tianity begot them, Wc arc not arguing

propitious unto them. Oftener that He is
not. But the very fact of inventing all
conceivable means to placate Him. some of
them barbarous and revolting, indipates
so strongly that it almost proves God’s in
terest in mortals. It is an evidence so
universal that it cannot easily be ex
plained away. Every fundamental need in
humanity has its satisfaction existing food.
somewhere. Hunger presupposes
Thirst indicates the existence of water tor
its quenching. Nakedness instinctively
leads to the necessary coverings for its
protection, even though beasts are slain,
cotton, flax and wool grown to accommo
date it. So with all the hungers of rational
being, social, intellectual, moral, religious.
They all are evidence of reality some
where answering to them. None of these
is more fundamental and imperative than
the religious, that which demands (kid’s
care. A most pathetic manifesting of this'
longing is idol worship. The lieati (ten.
God's ignorant children, like ours, demand
object lessons that can ,>e apprehended by
the senses. To make God in their image
is the nearest they can get to the sublime
consciousness that they are made in His.
Better, it seems to us, no God than a
wooden one. A spirit of negation and in
diTerence would save them so much use
less sacrifice anu cruel practices ami nav
barous acts of superstition by way better m sup
posed atonement. But whether or
worse atheism is not a constituent ehurac
teristic cf man. Strange, is ii net. that it
is never innate, but always an acqu.reil ac- of
complishment, always the sad result
culture else of sin. Bv nature, and that
means by right, God is always the rightful self
occupant of the throne. But as our
importance grows, as we become con
sciously great in thought and achievement
we become al > great in arrogance, MS i -
all science falsely so called, and the King
is asked to vacate the throne, and God is
not even bowed out of the universe, but
heartlessly banished. Ob, no, denial is not
better than affirmation of God. however
superstitiously that affirmation express it
self. It is evidence of God’s care much
needed to offset n threatened evidence that
He has not interest in the human rice.
Notice the two possible results to which
these religious instincts lead. They are
the receptacle into which Christianity fits.
Without them the Gospel of Jesus has no
appeal. They cry out for God. Chris
tianity introduces God to them, Thev
want an assurance of God’s care, Chris
tianity assures them God cares for men to
tlie uttermost, even enough to die ior
them. Creation thus prepares for revela
tion, and welcomes its beneficent approach. the
There is another result that shows
helpfulness of the religious instinct univer
sal among men. It is the sorrow that pos
sesses us when we are told it is all a delu
sion. The moment you convince man there
is no God, or, if there is, that He is indif
ferent to man’s welfare, that moment the
face loses its complacency, the heart its as
surance. the spirit its buoyancy, the mnnt
its sense of satisfaction. Doubt, disap
pointment, despair set in. Little to live
for, nothing to die for is the cry that will
not be comforted. A stolid indifference
results that crushes out the heart’s music,
else wild despair that dethrones reason
and inflicts self injury. Let me make a
prophecy more dismal in its out took than
that one we are considering of a future
discovery that God does not care, i p ro
phecy that if ever that dark day dawns hour
poor humanity in despair will in an
fall back from all hopefulness, aspiration,
joyousness, and by one despairing thousand plunge
reverse the life satisfactions o ■
years.
Greatest of all these is the presence and
worth of Christianity to be accounted for.
Christianity is a very unyielding fact. It
has become too deeply rooted in the earth
to be waived aside and crowded out by would any
discovery, however authentic, that
invalidate its claims. It has been con
fronted for centuries with, conflicting be
liefs and scientific evidence against its in
tegrity. The more it is opposed .the more
fearlessly it asserts itself, comforting rhe
heart, lighting the dark mind, insqiiring help
and reinforcing the spirit. A fact so
ful to humanity in every conceivable ne
cessity when sinning and needing strength, forgive
ness , when weak and needing the

thing about it alj is that we who
yielded to God’s word, caught the bless
ings of the revelation through Jesus, have
all the evidence necessary for the reality
of God and His care. What value is proof
against God’s interest in us, however
scientific, to the man who has seen the
Lord, whose sins forgiven, wnom <
are light upon of His
God is each day lifting up the
face? When once the spiritual life has en
tered the human heart, all cold, external
■evidence is ignored, and wisely. Then,
again, tkfvpgace of mind that*results from
belief that 'God cares for its enough to
share His eternal home with us by and by
is evidence that will die hard, if it ever
die at all, before any external evidence
that this world is all, and that our brief,
storm-tossed existence is forever hushed in
death's long sleep. A man said to rne dur
ing the week, “li. pays to be religious, last even that
though it be discovered at the
there is no eternal life. ’ The idea was
that present satisfactions are worth the
having, whatever the future may reveal.
When the dtvino spark that w;e ca 1 the
spiritual life once electrifies the heart,
stimulating new loves, imparting and Christs new
idea’s, revealing God’s love
mastership, all of which produce blessings
of satisfaction and - joy unspeakable, all
external evidence to the contrary weighs
little with that man’s belief. And that is
exactly what Christianity does. It im
parts life. As Harnack puts it. “It is
eternal life in the midst of time, under the
very eye. and jn the very strength of
God.” As Jesus nuts it. “I am conic that
ye might have life.” f ; ;e is a difficult
thing to argue against, and even to prove
the fallacy of when men possess it and are
reaping manifold blessings from pres
cnee each day.
