10 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. KATrnnAT. auhtst it. iv* THE GOLDEN SILENCE OF GOD “BUT HE ANSWERED HER NOT A WORD" By REV. JOHN E. WHITE ‘PASTOR SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH. cr> i n '—'to ( (ILENCE Is golden.” Tes, to the men who keeps It. "Golden' Von Jfollke, who knew how to keep silence In seven languages: "golden'' to General Grant, the sphynx * of camp and cabinet; "golden" to the man who masters his soul In provo cation and grips his own spirit when tempted to angry speech: "golden" to the man who hides confusion and ig norance behind a wise taciturnity. But how for the man who has asked 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 find only deaf ears and dumb lips: how for (Me woman who cried bitterly, "Have mer cy upon me, oh, thou son of David, my daughter la 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 any word Ills lips could frame. It Inspired her and urged her and moved her Into a resfatless- ness of prayer and n grandeur of faith which caused Christ to exclaim In sur prise: "Oh, woman, great Is thy faith." Now the disciples misinterpreted the alienee 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 part, or that He was tired of such prob lems and hnd shut Himself up In si lence. They said: "Send 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 I (Clause they missed the moaning of Ills silence. They didn't hear the voice of that si lence as It went to her quickened henrt, saying, "Oh, woman. I hear you: I love you; I am burdened with your prayer. Pray on. Thy prayer will ding down these narrow walls of prejudice against thee, for they are already down In Me All faith Is God'* only be It pure and strong.” She did pray on. Then he answered her not a word for so long. Ills silence moved her. It Inspired her tnlnd 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 |h which faith found Its firm rootage. Happy woman. She heard the voice of His silence. Better than the elect and the favored few, she grasped the secret /if 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 recognize 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 sharp cry of this age by denying It. The silence of God Is on Issue of faith to ho 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 tho vital problem of faith and hope at this 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 tho entire Christian population of Ar menia was crying to God for deliver-, anen from the murderous Turk. The Indignation 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. At one point In his speech he exclaimed: "we must arrest the Turk In his terrible course." From the great crowd Instantly arose a deep-voiced groan: "Blot him out." The sultan of Turkey could have stopped the out rage in an hour. Bo could God. There are wrongs and cruelties un. speakable at home. The press has teemed with exposures of the atro. clous money shark In out own city. The sum of cruel villainy and Injustice In this world every day Is beyond ap pall. In gilded circles of society tne scarlet woman Is a crowned queen. In the low alleys vice soaks 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 ■ " love and comfort. Why doesn speak? Why do the heavens seem brass? We are told to ask and we shall receive, to seek and we shall find, to knock and It shall be opened unto h, 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 Jhat "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 baffling silence! I am not voic ing an Imagination. You have thought the thought If you haven’t framed It Into words. And If you hove 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 possi bility for us atl In HIS cry at Calvary, 'My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken Me!" The picture In Tancred of the hero—a nineteenth century up- to-date Englishman, journeying to Mount Blnul, and 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. Non-, thank God, there la 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 U not a problem, but a revela tion. The silence of God Is one of the modes of His expression. The silent Heaven Is but a form of dlvlnest em phasis. It la one of the ways, one of the oldest and meaningful ways God has of speaking to man. This truth filled my heart with all the Joy of a new thought this summer as one day 1 Picked up a bonk 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 or would answer. The mother replied: '.May not your Im pulse to pray be God's manifestation of Himself to you?' Ah the youth grew to manhood this hint unfolded Into an Interpretation of life as a whole. This book Is a produet thereof. To whom should It be dedicated but to the moth er who gave* the first hint, ‘Do you not ass a great truth there? 1 God's silence, that which we call Hts silence, la just His way of making us hear Him. It keeps us on our knees. It creates and sustains our yearning up ward." Silence 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 the ordinary plane of our thought we know that silence la wpart of speech and the nSoat Impressive part of It. There Is not a human thought or emotion that cannot be expressed by silence. 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 thdt answers his peroration. , Infinitely grander Is this fact when we stand amid the silence of God. He Is pausing, but His apeech 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 n great secret of life when we hare realised It as a fact that si lence la a divine Intention for our good and that our prayers are most answered when they seem moat denied. Instead of wishing It otherwise, codld we real ise the value of God's silence we would say: "We thank God for His words and for what He ha* said, but most of all, we thank Him for Hla silence." The Silence of God in Nature. It Is e mode of God’s speech. Here God proclaims the process of human civilisation. He spread mountain and valley and plain all wrapped In silence before the human race and said search their secrets. He did not divulge r wealth. ' Bo man plunged %t the mountain to wrest from Its secret treasure house the hidden gold. He laid before the race the rpw materials, but He did not give him toots. 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- Icret man .has wrought out the re demptlon of progress and civilization. Would It have been better, kinder or more generous If all had been explained and prepared to man's hand? la It not a sublime mercy to humanity even now that God la silent about the new forres 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 find every question definitely set at rest, the Bible Is a most unsatisfactory book. God bas 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 all. 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 And the oak In all Its parts— root, trunk, branches. Look Into the Bible; in It you And all books Involved —all sciences, all philosophies. The Bible is the seed com of all Intellectual harvests. But how silent It Is on such questions as God's origin, the minutiae of creation, the origin of evil and the 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, and, therefore, a prayerful creature, be cause God has left these great problems of Himself and the universe for man to struggle with. Solomon spoke wisely: "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing, but the honor of kings Is to search out a matter." The 8ilenco in the Soul. Here we front again the question with which we began. Why does not God manifest Himself beyond the pos- sibllily of doubt In such a vofee i. such a manner, that we would kn.2 then and there that He Is apeakirs" ^ am weighted with the woe of my I am bruised with the rod of and affliction. I am troubled with th. pain of living In the solitude of sorrow. MCJiy will not God, if He lot™/ If He cares, lay His hand on my soirtt and make me know Illm as I need ant want to know Him? Oh. my friend/ that is exactly what God la doing silence la the gospel of His patlenr. the dearest, sweetest gospel ever told For 1300 years He haa Mused- His speech might go on. Calvarv God’s peroration, and from that hi. words of love passed Into the alien,', of patience. He has spoken In Hla Bon for all your need; answered yn u prayer before you made It. He is wait Ing for you to hear what He has 8a jd He haa commanded Himself to silence that you may hear it. "God. who in times past spoke to ua through the prophets, hath In these latter dart spoken with us by HU Son." Ever since Christ came a Sabbatic calm hu reigned In heaven and on earth, while God has waited, holding His wrath, holding open the door of His merer for us to hear the gospel of His pi. tlence and his love. Do you ask then, as Philip, "Show ua the Father?” Do you ask then. “Why does God not speak?" Listen to the voice of 1200 years of silence: "This Is 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 comltfg of Christ wai God’s full and Anal manifestation of Himself to man. Sinful man, complain no more that God Is silent to your cry when It la you who la deaf to Hu voice. Disappointed soul, complain no more that the heavens are brass, when It la your unbelief that neglects to hear what God la'saying. Sorrowful one, moan no more In an. S ilsh against the silence of your eavenly Father, when God with whom a thousand years Is as a day and a day as a thousand years has just paused at the cross to wait upon your slow ness to hear HU 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 Anlshlng tho Journey by eea from Norfolk, gave me the op portunity of visiting the site of the coming Jamestown Exposition. The grounde comprise about 400 acres, lying on the south shore of Hampton Ronds, and between the four cltlee of Norfolk, Portemouth, Newport News and Hamp ton. While these four cities are sep arated each from the other, they do unite tp form one business center and maritime port. They form the chief jldrbor on the Atlantic coaet for ship ping coal and lumber, and ono of the largest ports In the United States for cotton and oysters. Here U the larg est peanut market In the world, and here, too, at Newport News, on the north shore of Hampton Roads, U the largest Bhlp-hulhllng plant In the world. Norfolk will be tho headquarters for the exposition, but all the tidewater' Virginia cities are equally concerned In Its upbuilding and success. This seaboard world's fair U Intended to celebrate the establishment of the Arst Anglo-Saxon permanent settlement of people on the American continent. Eng lish-speaking people occupied the spot known ever since as Jamestown on the llth of May, 1607. It Is eminently lit- ting, therefore, that the three hun dredth anniversary of this event, which marks the tercentennial birthday of our nation, should be celebrated In a style up to the overwhelming propor tions to which, as a people, we have grown In three hundred years. There 1 U 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 h.v the Spaniards In 11*65, on a spot that had been visited by Ponce DeLeon, as early as 1518, 20 years after the discovery of America In 1498, But though Saint Augustine was settled forty-two years before Jamestown, there Is nothing In Its his tory nppronchlng tho picturesque events connected with the settlement of the Virginia town. The I.ntlnt who came to Florida and occupied ground 2k miles south of the mouth of St. Johns river, sought the new world with entirely different motives from such ns led the English to Jamestown. Tho Latins were moved to adventure by love for gain, the, English by lore for freedom. The purpose to celebrate 'the achievements of the Jamestown pioneers and their successors In tho milking of American history Is a lofty one, and It la not strange, therefore, thnt all tho states In the Union are making appropriations sufficient to mnke the event memorable. By right of discovery all America was claimed by Spain after 1492, and If tho Bpnnlarde had been successful In the great sea battle that destroyed tho sn-cnllod Invincible Armada, doubt less Spain, and not England, would have colonized the new world. But the success of tlto English In obliter ating the enormous Spanish Aect quick ened the ambition of her people to reach out for now ground beyond the Atlantic. Even In 15*4, four years 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 Indiana or destroyed by disease were taken back to England by Sir Francis Drake. Other expedi tions staYted out and failed. It woe not until December, 1606, that the party left England In three frlgatea, com manded by Ralelgh'e captalne, destined not only to reach the new world, but to hold It for English civilization for all lime to come. Having landed, the pioneers erected a tent, and nailing a rude board between treea they mode a reading desk for their chaplain, the Rev. Robert Hunt, a clergyman of the Church of England. In this rude structure was heard the Arst sermon In the English tongue ever delivered In America. There were 106 of the Arst settlers, 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 settlera. Every schoolboy knows how, In hla at tempts to get food to relieve the starv ing colonists, he fell Into the hands of Powhatan, the Indian chief, who Would have clubbed him to death hut for the Intervention of the Princess. Pocahon tas. Smith’s head hnd already been laid on a stone by order of the chief, when Pocahontas, his daughter, got the DR. J. W. LEE. Englishman's head In her arms and laid her own upon his to save him from death. The Princess Pocahontas saved Smith’s life again by Informing him of a plot of her father against him. This same Indian princess was brought a prisoner to Ja meet own by Captain Argali, In 1613. In 1614 she married.John Rolfe, embraced Chris tianity nnd sailed to England with her husband In 1616. 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 1617, but died off Gravesend. She left one son, from whom some of the Arst 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 eummoned the Arst legislative body ever called dn America, when was for mally opened the general assembly of Virginia. From Jamestown grew all 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 emphasize In 1907. They certainly appeal to the Imagination of the civil ized world aa 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 eblpe of the Arst settlers found shelter, nnd where one may. study,. at Arst hand, traces of colonial, revolutionary nnd civil war episodes. One can stand on the fair-grounds and see In plain view Old' Point Comfort, named by the pioneers. He can see where the memorable eea fight took place between the Merrlmac and the Monitor. Work on the buildings of the exposi tion Is advancing rapidly. They wllf 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: 8eme Jamestown Exposition Attrao , tione.
