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. Alleged Murderess Remanded.

SERMON FOR SUNDAY ELOQUENT DISCOURSE ENTITLED' it DOES COD CARE?” flic llev. Kobert Maetlonatil Declares Thai tile Greatest Discovery of the Twentieth Century Will lie. the Dis covery of Got!. Brooklyn, N. Y. - “Does God Care?” " as the subject of the sermon Sunday Illoriun g by the flew Robert MacDonald. 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 for yoq.” Mr. MacDonald said: “The greatest discovery of 'he twen tielli century will be the discovery oi God. an< i then it will be seen that God does not care. ’ Such is the latest assumption of 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 “ *? id ( .“°. t b ecause we now possess so much, bin that . t possessed ot lit we are so tie. Science will doubtless discover more about God. Shame upon our developing intelligence is if _ it does not. Every discov ery that. But that is a very different thing from discovery of God.

We discover stars and eonti nents and seas and laws and a good many other things, but it does seem to me that God Himself will have something to say a b ou t the discovery of Himself. More over, I have no right to believe that God AfSrt.'MS-l. Vhom man save He 0i .^. ft n( j g God God has found. I am striving to maintain the integrity of «.e divine revelation as over; against that ot human investigation. Me must take Hot ... Hi. own term., rather, that, on ours. Therefore; he only discovers God to whom God has revealed Himself, to whom God permits such discovery. dkeofery We need not tm that any lulure of God will negative the revelation we now have through Jesus Christ. Science is mighty, but not almighty. Not more mighty than God. We welcome it in the realm of well defined data, in the realm of demonstra tion and proof. Eternal But its transcends advocates its need to ^arn that the scru demands. 1 'LasSyo^r if°you lieart that are so fortunate as to be a habitant of the realm bounded by the Christian religion the essence of your taith cannot be harmed. Faith’s form, as also the form of revelation, will be Fa [ scientifically th ’ questioned examined an( an( ] i modified perchance, 8 content but its essence, that spiritual thing we call the divine 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 It is precious first. to loved ns.” "we It is Him because He as 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 is evidence of C* “ * care. And it is demo that an nt “er be explained endures _ So long; as huniann r will advocate ri_ ;,,ht h d denounce wrong. and just so long must mv i believe in God’s rare. Does God care? (K } very constitu tion thunders Yes. No ralK. diseovery 'ed of God in the future ran be expee. to over throw the overwhelming weight f this ev idence. c , T . without Verily, God hath not left s. lmse ‘ r a witness. We need not tea* a,1 T future discovery, however supposedly seK.’ i tific, Whatever to offset this constitutional evidence. the evidence that God does not care we will match and outweigh it by this nearer, dearer, stronger evidence that He does care. We have a Roland for their Oliver. 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 within a circle in referring to these, All races, white, yellow, red, brown, black, ig norant cruel or enlightened, kind, superstitious that or sane, God or Mind instinctively that feel He cates. you, it is not is 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 even when suffering martyrdom wild at beasts, stake, in the amphitheatre of in heathen lands, mentioned, midst persecutions loo numerous to be but. not many to be valiantly borne, must be con fronted with stronger, surer proof relinquish than m at present conceivable that it its hold upon men s esteem. Yield it must if it ivere even proven God did not care; or Christianity /as rooted in God s es teem before it found a place cared in that mans. He God not only cared, but so superb bios loved, else Christianity, that som and fruitage of Christ*& liie and teach* ing and death, had never existed. Chris* hefeAfehefelf have 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. This wh\ we affirmed that God must t " discovered through internal revelation, rav. ,er than through external investigation.
