Editor of The Congregationalist, If we would rightly understand the early chapters of Genesis ang appre- ciate their full historical and spirit- ual significance, we must divest our- selves of much of the modern atmo- sphere and knowledge, and put our- selves far back in the position of those who were contemplating the beginnings of things, and who were seeking, in an age that had not de- veloped philosophy and sclence In any high degree, to account for the universe and their own lives, and to develop some sense of the méaning of life and its right relationships. If we could wipe out from our minds all that has come to us through the teaching of accumulated thought and experience of the cen- turies, we should be able to under: stand both the reality and the great- ness of the ideas that are expressed In these early records of beginnings in Genesis. Here, for instance, we have the story of what is represented as the first murder. Out of this comes the strong emphasis upon the sacrednéss of life, How did that idea of the sacredness of life originate? How should we estimate the spiritual vis- fon of the writer of this record who) perceived with such clearness the fact of the sacredness of life? Many, even in this modern age of supposed progress, do not have this keen sense of the sacredness of life expressed by the writer of the narra- tive. . Science itself, that ought tod be the great servant of progress and construction, has been in recent years the handmaid of the most de- structive and diabolical purpose. Not only has this been seem in the de- structive powers of guns and explo- sives, but even the very benefits of chemistry have been turned to the developing of poifbn gasses and de- structive agencies. \ Life's Sacredness. A world which sees these destruc- tive forces wide scale in the twentieth century of the Christian era should hesitate be- fore it regards as old-fashioned and out of date a simple record like this that lays such profound emphasis upow the sacredness of human life. Nor is this the only profound emphasis' valuable for modern life that comes to us from ties ancient story. Here is the conception of bro- therhood and the idea of life rela::on- ships that insists that a man is in some sense his brother's . keeper. Where did that idea comé from? manifested on such al Was it not a product of this spir- Sunday School Lesson for April 256.--Qenesis 4:1-12. 3 ftual vision of an ancient saint and seer in a very deep and real sense inspired of God?---Not in a formal, conventional, mechanical way, but in a real and vital 'way Chat brought into bis own life and vision this no- ble conception of man's life and man's highest relationship. Here was a man, who had fiot back of him generations of the teaching of brotherhood, asserting with great clearnéss and definiteréss this prin- ciple that lies at the very heart of all true social life and organization. Think of how much the modéra world has to learn still from such simple narratives as this in the Serip- tures! Such a story eniphasizés how In its very earliest pages, the Bible is & 'book of life in which men may still read and learn. The voice of thoughtiessness, and selfishness, and greed, and ambition atill says, as it said through Cain, "Am I my brother's keeper?" This selfish philoséphy is to-day, as it was in that ancient time, too often little more than an effort to covét 'aff the dastardly and abominable nature of its own deeds. Applying the Story. - . Possibly the application of this an- clent story ought to be made to-day in new ways, Certainly the applica- tion ought to be made clear enough and widely enough in relation to in- dividual men. Murder and violence are just as damnable things to-day as they were long ago, but there is nead likewise of the social aplica- tion of this teaching. All the murder gad violence of this modern world do not arise from individual action, There are social customs and prac- ticés, social carelessnesses and gréeds that are murderous in their.affect upon human life. As some one re- marked the other day, you can kill a n, or whole families of people, w a tenement in a slum district, or with poison and impurity in the milk supply of a city. Ce The challenge, "Am I my brother's keeper?' is one that must be brought into the wide range of all modern social relationships, and it is only in a socléty in which the strong care for the weak and in which all the relationships of life are safe-guarded by love and justice that we come far from the spirit of Cain into the spirit of godliness expressed by this an- cient writer. He had discovered the sacredness of life and the great means of emphasizing and expressing that sacredness in human soélety, Men who know the real sacredness of life instinctively assume toward those who share a common life the attitude of hrotherhood. WILD GEESE By Martha Ostenso. oF Pte "Do you want them to show yom their fine house, and their fishing nets, and their boats, and their wind- mill, when your own father is too poor to have such things? You know how much better they think they are than us," he said geutly, wagging his head, "but it yon must go. . .* Ellen sighed. She had never been at the great stone house. She would never, perhaps, be permitted to go. But it was of no use to pro- test--Amelia would be seen weep- fog a short time afterward if she did. There was nothing to do but bear with things. And wonder if Malcolm would ever be coming back again' He had sald--ah, yes, he had said that he wopld, In the spring. . It was just a year since Malcolm had left to work in the lumber mills to the south. "And before that there had been only a week or two of in- comprehensible, guilty rapture. Malcolm had kissed Ellen but once when they were alone in the barn _| after milking. An unromantic place it was save for the witching flood of light from a full moon. It had been a moment of unforgettable " veins, bliss. Had Malcolm been lass diffi- dent that evening, had he seized the oportunity and taken her away be- fore she had time to reflect, évery- thing would have been different. But Ellen, sustained by her habitual loyalty to Caleb and by the fact that Malcolm had Indian blood in his regained overnight her un. bendable: control, and Malcolm, wounded and perplexed, went away soon afterward. It was only the pain in her eyes that prompted him to tell her that he would ba coming back again. And here it was spring ~~after the long winter. . . , So, without Ellen, Lind went home that Friday evening with the children of the Bjarnassons, the great clan who lived to the west- ward. The air was soft and vibrant with the whir of migratory wild fowl Rain pools filled the ditches along the road, and lay like staified glass in the low sun; the overhanging willows were in full leaf now, the sedges vividly green and as yet un- bowed by a single wind. Stich a new, ecstatic world of growth! Be- hind the Bjarnasson children in the cart, Lind held out Rer hands as If ~~. Bilious Headache | A i to gather in the beauty of it from the wide air. In the great stone house on the lake, dwelt four generations of Bjarnassons. Old Efik, who was amopg the first of the Icslanders to saitls at Oeland, had seen his land pass in turn from his son to his son's son. Erik was well into his eighties now, a time for dreaming much, and fishing a little when the sun was warm on tha white rocks in the cove. Young Erik, his grand- { son, had married long since and now gent his children to Oeland School {Jt was young Erik's father, Mathias, whg had built the stome house.

In all that region, there another house like it. : Like a» welcome, its westérn win- dows were aflame With light from a red sun, when Andres and Helga drove up the road with the Teacher. Below the house lay the lake, wrought through and through with silver and rose, Helga éscorted Lind house. : The immaculate kitchen had a warm, good smell, like cinnamon. The floor was white as bread. On it were round, braided rax mats of bright, clear colors. Helga's mother had never been in Iceland, but her English was so little used that it halted here and there. Such was the isolation of place. "You will like coffees, now may- be," she said to Lind, halt shyly "Bring the teacher a chair Helga." She hurried aboiit, a round little figure of a woman With a round, un changing face. From an immense wooden cupboard with red glass doors she brought out cups and saucers, and certain thin wafers rolled up tightly in sugar. And while Lind ate and drank, she sat with hér hands clasped In her lap, saying never a word. From an inner room, Lind heard & steady, muffled sound, between a hum and a purr. "It fs grandmother, spinning," said Mrs. Bjarnasson. "She is blind, bt she spins. She gpins all of our wool." "She speaks no course," said Lind. She spoke none. But when Lind went in and shook hands with her, the ancient lady raised her face to hers as if she wers looking at her with recognition. Shs was so stoop- ed that as she sat at the spinning wheel, her head was almost level with the distaff. . She murmured something in Ice- landie. "She means 'that you Are good to look on," said Mrs. Bjarnasson the younger. "She always says she can see people's faces when they spéak the first time to her. She will tell your fortune if you ask her." Lind was eager to hear the old lady, who drew aside from her spinning and took both of the Teacher's hands in her own wither ed ones. She held them and ture ed her knotted, brown face, that had something of the sheen of a cocoon. upward to the light, her eyes sealed. She spoke rapidly, in a queer lit. ing voice.
