THE GOLDEN SILENCE OF GOD
“BUT HE ANSWERED HER NOT A WORD”
W *

Ut
l p ILEN'CE I, golden.” Yes, to the
\ man who keep* It. "Oolden"
,! ^^to Von Moltke, who knew how
to keep alienee in seven languages;
‘'golden" to General Grant, the aphynx
of camp and cabinet; "golden" to the
man who maaters his soul In provo
cation and grips bis 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 dented 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 r
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. Ills si
lence was a loud voice. It said more
to that woman then any word His lips
could frame. It Inspired her and urged
her and moved her Into a resistless
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 Jeeus. Theac 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 Ho was tired of such prob
lems and had shut Himself up In si
lence. They said: "Send her away,
for she crlcth after us.”
Doubtless they wondered that the
woman wouldn't take the hint and get
insulted or rebuked and leave olf her
continual crying. That's because they
missed the meaning of Ills silence.
They didn't hear the voice of that si
lence as It went to her quickened heart,
saying, "Oh, woman, I hear you; I 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 la God's, only be It pure
and strong."
She did pray on. Then he answered
her not a word for so 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 soli In
which faith found Its Arm rootage.
Happy woman. She heard the voice of
Hie 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."
Tha Problanj.
The mystery of a silent God Is the
sorrowful perplexity of human life.
Atheism solves It by declaring that
there la no God. Indifference solves
the problem by failure to recognise It.
The morally stunted solve It by their
Ignorance of lb The optimist solves
it by on attitude of thoughtless revelry.
The pessimist solves It by challenging
the goodness of everything. And iftme-
tlmcs 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. Hut we cannot meet the
sharp 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
this hour. One hears me this morning
whose faith staggered under Its burden
of perplexity for many a day.
God seems to ho silent. The heavens
seem to have no voice. A while ago
the entire Christian population of Ar-
inenlu was crying to God for deliver
ance from the murderous Turk. The
Indignation of the world was stirred
by the sultan’s Indifference to the
wholesale mnssacre. He had the pow
er to stop It If he would use It. In
London Mr. Meyer was addressing a
congregation on tho Macedonian out
rage. At one point In his speech he
exclaimed; "We must arrest the Turk
In his terrible course.” Prom 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. So could God.
•There are wrongs and cruelties un
speakable at home. The press has
teemed with exposures of the atro
cious money shark in our own city.
The sum of cruel villainy and Injustice
In this world every day la beyond
pel!.' In glided circles of society
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 God’s
love snd 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 And,
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 la. 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 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 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 Jem, Christ
has made atheism a momentary possi
bility for ua all In His cry at Calvary,
"My God, my God, why hast Thou
forsaken .Mo!" The picture In Tancred
of the hero—a nineteenth century up-
to-date ■ Englishman, Journeying to
Mount Hinnl, 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^
Now, think God, there Is an answer
to all tho 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 allenc* of God Is one of the
modes of His 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 ut speaking to man. This trr.th
tilled my heart with all the Joy of a
new thought this summer ns 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 Ood 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 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 ,Hls 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,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 silence. In
comedy or tragedy silence Is the key to
meaning. Extreme passions as they
Increase In vehemence move to-
ard 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 stltlnees that
answers hla peroration.
Infinitely grander is this fact when
we etand amid the silence of God. He
Is pausing, but Ills 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 realized It as a fact that si
lence Is a divine Intention 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 moat of
all, we thank Him for His silence."
The Sllenoo of God In Nature.
It la a mode of God's speech. Here
God proclaims the process of human
civilization. He spread mountain and
valley and plain all wrapped In silence
before the human race and said 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. Ho
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
cheiilcal 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
ana 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 find
every question definitely set at rest,
the Bible is a most unsatisfactory book.
Go<l has spoken In the hook of Hie
Revelation, but He hag 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 find the oak In all Its parts—
root, trunk, branches. Look into the
Bible; In it you find 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 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 hae left these great problems
of Himself and the universe for man
to struggle with.
Solomon epoke wisely: "It Is the
glory of God to* conceal a thing, but
the honor of kings ft to search out a
matter."
The 8ilence in the Soul.
Here we front again the question
with which we began. Why does not
God manifest Himself beyond the pos-
doubt in such a voice t.
anner. that wo wsuid kno?
bore that lie Is speaking’^
nihility of doubt In such
such a mar ‘

and affliction. I am troubled with •h
pain of living in th. solitude o? m h f
sorrow. Why will not God, If He lovV/
if He cares, lay HI. hand 'on my sptjft
and make me know Him as I need ans
want to know Him? Oh. my frt.ns.
that la exactly what God Is doing i?,*:
silence Is the gospel of HU7a,in “a
the dearest, sweetest gospel ever ml?
For 1900 years He his paueed-rh*,’
His speech might go on. Calvary ,,
God's peroration, and from that Hi.
words of love passed Into the eliene.
of patience. He has spoken in Hi,
Son for all your need; answered vour
prayer before you made It. He Is wait
ing for you Jo hear what He has said
He has commanded Himself to sllenc
that you may hear It. "God. who i„
times past spoke to us through the
prophets, hath In these latter day,
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 Hl-
tlence and his love.
Do you ask then, aa Philip, "Show
us the Father?" Do you ask then
"Why does God not speak?” Listen m
the voice of 1800 years of silence: "Th's
Is my beloved Son; Jtear ye Him."
> “And If ye will not hear Him, vou
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 of
Himself to man. Sinful man, complain
no more that God Is silent to your cry
when It Is you who Is deaf to Hi,
voice.
Disappointed soul, complain no more
that the heavens are brass, when it
Is your unbelief that neglects to hear
what God la saying.
Sorrowful one, moan no more In an
guish against the silence of your
Heavenly Father, when God with whom
a thousand years Is as a day and a (bu
ns a thousand years has Just paused
at the cross to wait upon your slow,
ness to hear Hla 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.
1
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
portuntty of visiting the site of tho
coming Jamestown Exposition. Tho
grounds comprise about too acres, lying
on the south shore of Hampton Roads,
and between the four cities of Norfolk,
Portsmouth, Newport. News and Hamp
ton. While these four cities are sep
arated each from the other, they do
unite to form one business center and
maritime port. They form the chief
harbor on tho Atlantic coast for ship
ping coal and lumber, and one of tne
largest ports In the United States for
cotton nnd oysters. Here Is the larg
est peanut market In the world, and
here, too, at Newport News, on the
north shore of Hampton Roads, It the
largest shlp-bulldlng plant In the world.
Norfolk will bo the headquarters for
the exposition, but all tho tidewater
Virginia cities are equally concerned
In Its upbuilding and success. This
seaboard world's fair Is Intended to
celebrate the establishment of the first
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, 1«07. It Is eminently fit
ting, therefore, that the three hun
dredth anniversary of this event, .which
marks tho tercentennial birthday of
our nation, should be celebrated In a
style up to the overwhelming propor
tions to which, ns a people, we have
grown In three hundred years. There
la more of romance back of the James
town Exposition than Is to be found
underlying any other over held before
In this country. Saint Augustine, Flor
ida, was settled by the Spaniards In
ir,6u, on a spot that had been visited
by Ponce DeLeon, as early aa 1512, 20
years after the discovery ol America
In 1192. But though Saint Augustine
was settled forty-two years before
Jamestown, there Is nothing In Its his
tory approaching the picturesque
events connected with the settlement of
the Virginia town. The Latins who
came to Florida and occupied ground
it miles south of the mouth of St.
John! river, sought the new world
with entirely different motives from
such as led the English to Jnmestown.
The Latins were moved to adventure
by love for gain, the English by love
for freedom. The purpose to celebrate
the achievements of the Jamestown
pioneers and their successors Itf the
making of American hletory le a lofty
one, nnd It 1st not strange, therefore,
that all the states In the Union are
making appropriations sufficient to
make the event memorable.
By right of discovery. all America
w-ns claimed by Spain after 1492, and
If the Spaniard! had been eucceetful
In the grant sea battle that destroyed
the-so-called Invincible Armada, doubt
less Spain, and not England, would
have colonised the new world. But
the success of the English In obliter
ating the enormous Spanish lleet quick
ened the ambition of her people to
reach out for new ground beyond the
Atlantic.
Even In 1584, four.yeare 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 colonization 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 Francis 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 Ratelgh’a captains, destined
not only to reach the new wdrld, but
to hold )t for English civilisation for
all time to come. Having landed, the
pioneers erected a tent, and nailing a
rude board between trees they made 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 tn
America. There were 105 of the first
settlers, and Captain John Smith was
one of them. lie had been an enthu
siastic student of Machlavelll and Mar
cus Aurelius. A born leader, he wae
soon the governor of the early settlers.
Every schoolboy knows how, In his at
tempts to get food to relieve the starr
ing colonists, he fell Into the hands of
Powhatan, the Indian chief, who would
have clubbed him to death but for the
Intervention of tho Princess Pocahon
tas. Smith’s head had 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 Jamestown by
Captain 'Argali, in 1813. In 1814 she
married John Rolfe, embraced Chris
tianity and sailed to England with her
husband In 1618. 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
one son, from whom some of the first
families of Virginia claim to he 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 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 emphaalxein 1907. They certainly
appeal to the Imagination of the civil
ized world as 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
•hlpa of the first settlers found shelter,
and where one may. study, at first
hand, traces of colonial, revolutionary
and 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 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. From a pamphlet Issued by
the exposition management the fol
lowing attractions are scheduled for
the Virginia tide water fair:
