THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. SATrnriAT. at-ofst n. i**« n§ THE GOLDEN SILENCE OF GOD “BUT HE ANSWERED HER NOT A WORD” W * By REV. JOHN E. WHITE 'PASTOR SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH. H - - - - - - ----- — —— — 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 ‘ then and thc.„ „ ■ oeaK i nt ,7 , §ra walghtod with tha woe of my sin.* 1 .am bruised with the rod of ^ 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: 8ome Jamestown Exposition Attrac tions, Greatest military spectacle the world has ever seen.
