' j xNTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.TIICRSDA Y. DECEMBER 5. 1912. Faith, Hope, Charity, Should Lovingly Abide In Our Midst To the Editor of The Georgian: It was the dramatic and impressive Saul of Tarsus who said: “And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three: but the greatest of these is charity.’’ Applied to religion, faith means a child-like acceptance of the Word as it is written; hope means the ever-flowing spring in the heart of man, that feeds the desire for eternal life; charity means that divine attribute which gives alms, yet is nobler than the alms-giver, in that it feels another’s woe, hides another’s fault, concedes another’s right of view, and beck on onward in its march to the mercy seat the soul that is weary and heavy-laden. The Pharisee can not exercise charity, for he thanks God “that he is not as other men are. ’ ’ Applied to every-day thought, in civic upbuilding, that faith should be invoked which takes hold on existent life, and strives to use it for the betterment of the race of men, in a way that appeals to the normal view of looking at and dealing with things materialthat hope should be encouraged which leads the citizen to believe in the community which bestows upon him the pleasures and the comforts of life, and to talk and write in such away as tc attract desirable home-seekers and investors to the land that gives him these protective bene fits ; that charity should be cultivated which would build up civic co-operation so justly emi nent, so truly patriotic, and so strongly encompassing as to cause commercial and industrial competitors to applaud the wonderful economic results accomplished. Menacing mountains that muttered their supposedly impregnable strength ’gainst the prowess of progress have been leveled by this co-operative display, and the dirt and rock so acquired has been used to set wheels of industry in motion over the cosmos waste of yawn ing chasms. It is well. If there had been no engulfing chasms to defy, and no obstructing mountains to challenge the energies of activity, engineering would today be an unexplored science, and man would not now know how to climb and to conquer; motion would nap listlessly in the lap of indolence, and achievement would stand still, as the inexorable census-taker looked upon a Sahara of pillared inertia. The Bible is the book of wonder, and Paul gave to evolving thought an immortal sug gestion in the presented quotation from his letter to the people of Corinth. ’Tis true Solomon spake it more succinctly when he said, “How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity’’—but then Solomon was given to nigh cuts in wise sayings. How ever, both are from the Bible, and whether applied to spiritual or worldly existence, we know that when the precept is woven into example, souls are saved and cities are built. This spirit has done so much for Atlanta that it would seem treason to interrupt its abid ing presence. In applying Bible texts, therefore, to Atlanta’s moral needs,-as these appear to highly wrought minds, good men should consider, lest they unwittingly misquote the Book, for purposes of convenient application. This would be unconscious blasnhemy. Without desire to place a single obstacle in the way of righteous charity; with a heart full of applause for every unselfish contribution to all the organized charities of Atlanta, as well as those in contemplation, I desire to offer earnest protest against the comparative use of the name of the good woman of whom Christ said, “She hath done what she could,’’ with that of a scarlet woman in Atlanta, who has proffered a donation toward establishing a home for fallen women, of which it is proposed to make her the administrative head. The case that had to do with the woman of the Bible, was the occasion of the feast of the passover, when the chief priests and scribes were conspiring to put Christ to death. They were restrained from carrying out their purpose on the day of the feast, through fear that the people would riot. So. when Christ was in Bethany, “in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. “And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? “For it might have been sold for three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her. “And Jesus said, let her alone; why trouble ye her? She hath wrought a good work on me. “For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good; but me ye have not always. “SHE HATH DONE WHAT SHE COULD: SHE IS COME AFOREHAND TO AN NOINT MY BODY TO THE BURYING. ’ Then Christ commanded that wherever the gospel should be preached, the beautiful and thoughtful love displayed by the woman of Bethany should be “spoken of for a memorial of her.’’ Thus it will be seen there is not the remotest analogy between the act of worshipful thoughtfulness at Bethany, on the part of a devoted follower of Jesus, and the act of atonement, in the headquarters of the “Men and Religion Movement’’ in Atlanta, on the part of a scarlet woman, whose life had been spent in an atmosphere of evil. Let it be understood, I have not one word to say in harshness about the Atlanta example. Ido not believe that any man should publish harsh estimate ’gainst any woman, however fallen. Neither have Ito say aught in criticism of her proffered contribution. I defend a good woman, who annointed Christ for the burial, against comparison that injures her grace, her purity, her devotion. In the matter of more extended facilities for caring- for charity subjects, I ouine all our people are of one accord, insofar as the main object is concerned. The most serious question involved is to determine upon the best means to be adopted for reaping the desired results. This is a practical question, which might be well trusted to the judgment of those now in active control of the organized charities of the city. There are now two homes for fallen women and girls: the Florence Crittenton and Harriet Hawkes. If these need tc be extended, would it not be more in keeping with practical promotion to give $7,500 toward making these homes stronger, than to adopt the doubtful policy of organizing a new home as a monument to a new convert? Administrative ability, training and temperament are necessary to successful manage ment, and the one in charge should be able to command the respect and confidence of all who may co-operate with her in the work, lest a good movement be lost in the quicksands of im practical path finding. All work of reclamation should be carried on within an atmosphere of delicacyin speech and conduct. In this connection I would congratulate those in charge of the bulletin work for the “Men and Religion Movement’’ for having so modified their English as to permit of the read ing of their moral homilies in comparative fireside safety. However, this thought: Why were they so quick to administer to a fallen woman, and yet in a political campaign, so eager to seize upon the mistakes of a prominent Atlantan, and to publish these mistakes to the hurt of Atlanta. The impractical methods adopted by this movement to attain certain corrective results, will in time bring about their own correction. Meanwhile, we must trust to the Divine plan ning of things, and deal with them as conditions —not as theories. If there were no vice and crime in the world, court houses would represent wasteful structures of mud and stone; judges and lawyers would be as so many meaningless atoms in the vast realm of thought; organized society would be a senseless incubus on human relations; the science of government would take its place in the undisturbed archives of forgotten ages. If there were no sin, the metalic call of the church bell would not be needed to ring chil dren to Christ; symbolic spires would no longer be a part of the general plan to point the hu man soul heavenward. If there were no faith, hope, charity, the world would be a despairing waste of hopelessness; the voice of Divinity would be answered by the mocking echo of vacuity; Mercy would shriek farewell! Good and Evil are tw,n agencies in the plan of salvation: they ar e co-partners in the great work shop of Divinity, where Good stands before the loom of Faith, weaving joy and happiness into the choic est fabrics; where Evil is struggling with the engine ?f Sin, to hold the mysterious machinery of deeds in motion, for the fitting investment of Charity. That sin is to be with us until Time shall be no more, and that G<M has planned it thus it would seem the part of wisdom to deal with it as a physician would treat disease: cure the curable' non-con tagious, and segregate the incurable contagious. Our health department is busy with the work of preventing germ dissemination, in order to better safeguard the health of all the people, and it is commendably receiving the positive co• operation of the press of Atlanta, “ Our social department has no official head in the city government, and though organized fanaticism is at work on a misguided policy of correction that has scattered disease germs through th- social districts of our city, the press of Atlanta remains editorially silent, as the pulpit and the puritan unconsciously place apples of decay in the healthy barrels of morality. It does seem that the ministry, through whose co-operation and suggestion certain houses were moved from Collins street into some less observed section, should speak out against an evil that unwise agita tion has scattered, according to confidential statement to me by one of the most reputable physicians of the city, into some of the most respectable districts of Atlanta. This whole movement is but the spawning from the congested pool o f commercialized reform, organ ized mto a crusaoe by paid propagandists, who visited Atlanta and applied their thought-out formula with out knowledge of local needs. .hey caught the impressionable with their fad, and a campaign of inde cency resulted, corrupting our home life, and degrading our social standards def ® nd '"9 girls that work in our stores and factories. whose nobility is stronger and more en during than the combined wealth of the Men and Religion Movement, 'gainst the imputation that the jewel of womanhood was threatened by the sordidness of our merchants and manufacturers; for planting the danger signal at the moral wash-out, in order to save the engine of society from wreckage at the hands of the untrained. I have been made the victim of vulgar attack by a ministerial ignoramus, and of anonymous abuse by cowardly slanderers. z ••Let the galled jade wince, our withers are unwrung." I acknowledge, with comforting pride, the re ceipt of hundreds of letters of endorsement, from Atlanta and distant points, offering to pav for the contin ued publication of these letters It has been impossible for me to make personal answer to these numer ous '****’’?• and J mention the fact in order that each writer may knowVhat his endorsement is appreciated While It is a rule for lawyers, newspaper men and doctors to charge for everything that bears the imprint of their skill and name, all of which is legitimate, it so happens that what I write here is done as an unselfish contribution to general welfare, as I see it, and whatever the criticism I will still stand, m courage, by Atlanta. Meanwhile the pen of faith, hope, charity rests for another thought. BENJAMIN M. BLACKBURN.
