R. representatives from that State gathered in the baliroom of the Willard ast night in lefsurely reception, 15 till 9:15, when Louis Caton, more generally known as the steel mill tenor, made his vocal debut in Washington, presented by his friend, Representative Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania, who presided at the neeting. Mr. Caton, who was accompanied at the piano by Miss Marta Stuart, stat- ad that he had some cold and was not in_as good form as he could wish. However, he sang remarkably well for one so handicapped. He has i unusually mellow quality for a tenor and a flne range. His opening number, the “Largo.” from Handel's Xerxes.” and the following selection, Giordani's “Caro Mio Ben,” both sung in Italian, showed good training in the bel canto style. Schubert’s “Sere- nade” sung in English, and stated by the singer to be his favorite be- cause it was his first concert song, won storming applause. In the enunciation, as well as fre- quently in the tonal quality, Mr. Caton was quite reminiscent of John McCormack several ye go. He is & young singer who gives promise of increasingly fine phrasing and sue- cess in song artistry as he gains more experience on the concert stage. His English is clear and his style of singing excellent. He has a remark- ably charming personality and. a genlal smile that will go a long way toward landing him in the hearts of his audience. With all that, he un- doubtedly has a volce of great pos- bilities shioned first group, Squires’ “In an Old- Town,” the encore to his showed ability in the of the type of ballad made the great Irish tenor ile also had on his program Stephen Foster, Herbert Terry, Dunn, Spross and by Tt ome to Wi is to be hoped Mr. Caton will hington in & regular re- cital next season.

TODAY’S TEXT: The Lord is on my sid BY HUBERT C. HERRING. Noted Liberal Writer. Lecturer, Preacher, Boston. e There are two rules of lite, love and eas Primitive religion thrived on fear. Our remote ancestors lived in a world peopled by hob- goblins, spooks and fairy shapes. The _air was charged with mys- terious spirits, di- vine and devilish. A host of gods, good and bad, ruled the darkness and the light. Demons worked their will through disease and death.

Man sidled in craven fear from the cradle to the grave. The religion of Jesus was a blow at fear. Jesus taught of a God who rules by love. This God is a Father, and can be trusted His followers did not understand. The ancient superstitions keep their tight hold. The Christian church took over the witcheraft and the supersti- tion of primitive man, dressed it in the garments of a new vocabulary, re- fined it a bit, improved on it in places nd continued to teach a religion o fear. For 19 centuries the great majority of Christian churches have perpetu ated the reign of fear. They have tried to terrify men with lakes of fire, and hells of everiasting torment. Mar- tin Luther could sing of a world “‘with demons filled.” Children have been reared in a world which s to be feared. under a God who is to be feared. The attempt has been made to scare peo- ple into acquiescence. It does not work. This religlon which thrives on fear and superstition is forever corrected by two powerful forces. First, thero is the spirit of Jesus, with his new emphasis upon love rather than fear. Second, the progressive unfolding of the scientific point of view. The scientist is telling us of 2 world which is governed by law, not chaos, This law man DR. HERRING. no Birth w. is inexorable and binding. A man gets vhat he pays for.

HUGH T. STEVENSON, THE STORY OF ABEL. Genesis, iv.1-26. Golden Text—Am I my broth- CAIN AND ers keeper?—Genesis, iv.9. Human history has been repeating the story of Cain and Abel in its an- nals of religious blogtry and intoler- ance of other’s faitn. The first re- corded act of worship resulted in a murder of one brother by another. The very act that ought to have served as an unifier brought on a separation. It was not due to the act of religious worship that a conflict between the two brothers developed, but the differ- ence in their character, revealed in their worship. Many & war has been traced to the Rostile spirit that has been promoted between men, who have professed to be followers of the Prince of Peace. It has been more often due to the lack of religion than the possession of it by men that the ocean has been filled with the blood of saints and martyrs. The most intolerant hatred has been built up on religious grounds. “No malice is so venimous, no hate so fierce, no cruelty so fiendish, as those which are fed and fanned in the name of religion.” In our own day differences have broken out between the agriculturist and the great herdsmen, whose cattle has been charged with spoiling the work of the tiller of the soll. It takes more than the spirit of social justice to keep in the bonds of peace, those whose activitles and toll clash. Sin is responsible for the differences, dis- putes, and "discords that have filled the human family with sorrow. Its introduction, we considered last week, has filled the world with conflict, con- troversy and the curse of strife be- tween men and nations. It has de- veloped both personal and general contentions. It appeared in the fam- ily that was driven from Eden, be- cause they were disobedient to God. When Cain was born, he was called an_Acquisition. His rebellous spirit and waywardness filled his parents | with_disappointment. This i{s seen | in their naming his brother, Abel, which means vapor or breath, that vanishes awa In the Hebrew, it means nothingness, which may have been prophetic of the brevity of Abel's days. The Brothe! Offerings. We do not know when the sacrifi- cial offering was established, but in all probability God had made known to Adam the requirements and in- structed him to act as the priest of his family, wisen He gave to him the promise of the coming of a Sa- vior, who would save them from their sin. We do not know when the offerings were made “in the process of time.” It may have been at the end of the harvest or on the Sab- bath day, when they had concluded their labor. Caln had taken up one department, that of agriculture, to which Adam d first been assigned. Abel became a shepherd. Cain naturally brought “the fruit of the ground,” and Abel presented the firstlings of his flocks, that he had selected from his cholcest stock. Men reveal themselves in their offerings to God. The two different of- ferings were not presented in the same spirit. as we learn from the let- ter to the Hebrews. It was due to the failure on the part of the ungodly n to show in his offering any faith that his offering did not receive the approval and acceptance of God. While we are not informed as to how God showed his preference for the offering of Abel, we do_know that Cain was filled with anger because his brother had obtained the evidence of acceptance, possibly by fire, and his was rejected by not being burned.. iod tried to show Cain the unreason- bleness of such a spirit, which indi- cated that he did not possess the true attitude of worship. It was the character of Cain more than his ob servance of a ritualistic requirement, which he may have fully complied with, that brought to him rejection. God looketh on the heart. Man look- eth upon the outward appearances. Cain had inherited the bad bent of his ward appearance, with the law, if he mingled some blood in his offering, showing his hopes were based on the promised salvation. hen God sought from Cain the cause of his attitude, evidently he was like the sinners, who have followed in his steps, refused to listen to the Divine appeal. He was unwillingly to listen to the Lord’s assurance that if he had been sinless, or had come in the right attitude of worship, his offer- ing would have been accepted. There was no favoritism shown to the younger brother. e assured Cain that unless he changed his spirit that sin_would overmaster him because it was already waiting to destroy him. The First Murder. Cain was jealous of his brother. It filled his heart with anger and bitter- ness. He lured Abel into the field, where he carried out his diabolical pur- pose. The first death was a murder, which was committed in such-a man- ner that Cain did not expect that he would be suspected. God was watch- ing the tradegy that stained the pages of history. He permitted the act to be committed so that Abel could be with Him. but Jehovah did not allow Cain to forget his crime or escape being brought to justice for his iniquity. He startled the murderer by asking ‘“where is Abel thy brother?” The lips of the slain one were silenced, but his blood cried out rgainst Cain from the ground. Tn his desperate condition, Cain tried to deny his guilt and evade his responsibility. His presumptious at- titude toward God revealed that he was unrepentant and incorrigible. He had been disloyal to the bands of brotherhood. He tried to discard his sense of responsibility. Many men think_that by neglecting their civic and Christian duty to humanity that they can escape belng held responsi- ble. We may here, but we caunot fool God, who will insist at the Great he had complied parents. He had placed his will against God's commands. In all out- ‘we have done for God's glory and the aid of our brothers. We cannot be indifferent to the cries of humanity if we are Christians. The hour of trial was a period of Divine revelation. Abel's blood de manded vengenance, the blood of the Christ, that had been typified in the bloody offering of Abel was pleading for forgiveness to the sinner. When God punished Adam and Eve, He only cursed the ground. In passing judg- ment upon Cain, the Lord clearly teaches us that we cannot be insolent to Him or commit any murder with- out suffering punishment for our sins. The threefold curse was a bitter one for Cain. He was *‘cursed in his soul, being doomed to carry his awful guilt unforgiven with him wherever he went; cursed in his labor, for the earth should not henceforth yield him her fruit; cursed in his per- son, for wherever he went he was henceforth a vagabond upon the earth.” Cain’s conscience was not aroused by the judgment that God passené of selfishness that had ruined his life complaint that the he There was no plea for There was no indication of There was no sign of upon him.
