A Synopsis or the Elks' Memorial Service by
Kev. shelly.
Sunday night, not itbstano'ing the
inoletnenoy of tbe weather, the Cbristain
Church was cocuf jriably filled by an
audit nee desirous of hearing the Elks'
memoral service. Besides (be members
of tbe Elks' lodge many of tbe business
men of the oity were present. Rev.
Shelley succeeded iu holding the close
attention of hie hearers, who were nnited
in pronouncing bis leoture, a most able
and intelligent interpretation of brotherly
love. He took ae bia text, " Am I my
brother's keeper?" and drew logical oon
clnsioos illustrating Christ's original
example of brotherly love, predicting
that in time tbe entire world may be
brought to one consideration of equality.
Appreciation of bis interesting discourse
was shown by the congratulation of his
bearers at tbe oloee of the sermon.
Through our urgent solicitation Rev
Shelly furnished tbe following synopsis,
which we take pleasure in publishing;
And Qod said to Cain, where is Able,
thy brother? And Cain said to him: I
know not; am I my brother's keeper?
(Gen. 4:0) These are the words of tbe
first fratrioide. What a contrast be
tween the mournful eoene from which I
have tuken the text and tne eocount of
oreation which immediately proceeds it.
The creation reveals God's plan. There
all ia peaoe, barmony, light. It seems
as though tbe bumon family would in
crease and develop under tbe bun I of
unalterable love. Alas, I turn over this
luminous page, and do I read aright:
"Am I my brother's keeper?" words pro
nounced over tbe bleeding Imy of Abel
by a brother who has killed him. Bat
this word of Cain has often been repeat
ed, in all ages, in all parts of the world.
We may safely say go anywhere, where
the gospel is not known, and it is the
emblem of humanity. In the anoient
world what is the tie whioh binds meu
together? Every nation is set crT by
itself in territory, in religion. Its God
oannot pass certain limits; foreigners are
barbariaos. Tbe antioipati n of a union
on tbe baeis of religion, of a society of
souls, is so foreign to the oorioeptin of
aotiq'iity that in the tt'cmd century,
Cn'ouR, the iht!oopher, ami famous
adversary of Ohristinnlly, luiis "'wrote:
"A man must be mad, to think thai
Greeks and barbarjaus, Asfn, Europe,
Africa, and all other peop'e can ever be
uuited by a single religious tie." And
that which Celous expressed nith so
much assurance, everybody thought
Romans, Greeks, and even the very
Jews. No one oonld lift himself above
egoism, more or less emphatic. Every
nation seemed to any, "Am I mv
brothers's keeper?" Rome, -wheB she
conquered the world, brought men to
gether at her feet only in degradation
and slavery. Between different classes
of the same nation there was tbe same
indifferenoe, the same estrangement.
Who among tbe anoients troubled him
self about the poor, the slave, the out
oast? Di I so too far, then, when 1
affirm that aside from Christianity, man
has adopted as bis emblem the utter
ance of the fratrioide; and that to tbe
sighs of the slave and tbe Door, tbe
answer of the philosopher, the legislator,
and the priest has been: "Am I my
brother's keeper?" And thug would
tbe world have gone on to tbe end, stok
ing lower and lower in its egoism, bad
not Jesus Christ appeared.
You have heard Him at Bethlehem, at
Nazareth, In Getbsemane, on Golgotha.
Yon have seen Him, this King of kings,
taking upon Himself our mortal frame,
with all its humiliation, and poverty;
you have seen Him assuming our griefs,
our anguish; and oh, mystery of love!
you have seen Him so identifying Him
self with our sinfal humanity as to bear
the burden of our sins, and all tbe
horror of our condemnation. Upon the
or 088 you have heard that wonderful
word: "My God. my God. why bast
Thou forsakeu me?" Thus at the sight
of the cross the heart of -the sinner ta
softened; yea, broken. This is the blood,
wbich speaketh better things than tbe
blood of Abel. At the fool of the oross,
we learn to detest egoism ; we learu not
to live jinto oursel, " but that we are
memlrerg of one body, and that, in a
pleasure also, we too, are our brother's
raeepers. um our Drotners. who are
they? Ask tbe Lord Jesus Christ. "Aod
I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men
unto me." This ie His answer. All
men! These arms extended on tbe cross
of Calvary are open to embraoe all
bnmanit) ; not merely tbe ohildren of
Abraham, but all the sous aod dangot
era of Adam, neuroh out some soul
that Jesus Christ has not died to re
deem, some soul for wbich His blood
was not shed. He can not be found.
Yonr brothers, tbey are everywhere.
Your brothers are thise who love yoo;
but alio those who are your enemies
They are those' wbo gather with you
around tbe Lord's table; bat they are
also those wbo still refuse a seat by
your side in ohurch, and in heaven itself.
Your brother, you, to whom God has
given wealth, is the poor man by your
side; and your brother, you who are
poor, ig tbe rieh man, for whom yoo feel
rather envy than love. Your brother,
you who are superior in intelligence, is
the ignorant, mean person, with whom
you have scarcely a oommon language,
any point of oontact. Yonr brother, yoo
who are honest, ia that fallen being,
who in your streets displays the sad
sight of bia misery, bis degradation, his
moral rain. Oar brothers are publicans,
tbe very ones on whom sooiaty has set
ban; yes, tbe very ones to whom, within
the' reaoh of onr olvihution and our
oharches, tbe poor oatoasts, pretended
Christians refuse tbe name and quality
of humanity. This is tbe ounoeption
whioh Christianity gives us of humanity.
Today thinkers unbelievers indeed,
wbo olaim it as a title of glory philoso
phers, assume tbe pretentions name of
bumanitarism bat this idea is Christ
ian, bad its birth it the oross. Human
ity never knew that it formed a single
family, till tbe day when tbe ana refused
to witness the agony of Calvary. We
are then, our brothers keepers, their
interests are our interests. This is tbe
central truth on which I have been in
sisting. This troth presents itself under
two aspects, whioh I want briefly to cm
Bider, Man 11 two-fold: be has a body
and a soul. He suffers tn bis body, be
suffers in bis soul. Here. then, we have
a double mission; wears called upon, at
the same time, to solaoe temporal miser
ies and to avert eternal ones. Before
this two fold question we bava, perhaps,
replied: "Am I my brother's keeper?''
Those two classes of suffering Jesus
Christ confronted. Let us examine Hie
attitude.
First, in the matter of tbe suffering of
the body, ChriBlbaseoooonterad la their
too onmmoo aspeot sickness and poverty.
Everywhere we see the aiok and tbe toor
around Him. Wa might say, it ia tbe
sooiely of His choice. It is for them Ha
does His moat wonderful works. Bee
how tbe aiok aud the poor are drawn to
Him. Would you know where Jesus
Ohrist is, jou have only to see where are
tbe siok aod the poor. I know that their
motive sometimes was carnal and selfish.
know that they sought Him at first be
cause His omnipotent band gave them
food and relief. I know that later the
followed Him beoause they hated Him.
out on this very aooount His love ap
pears to me the more wonderful, the
more sublime, tbe more divine. How
He lifted them up the poor. With
what tender regard he treated them.
He, who had no respect for the SDlendor
of tbe world: Ha. who in 1-1 i OAonal

linked to immortality tbe name of Laza-
rus aod Mary Magdalene, thus showing
bow He estimated the humblest arid
most degraded. Ha WHS hnrn omnnw
them, died among them, to suob an ex
lent that, open whatever page of tbe Gos
pel, yoo find Jesus and the Door indis-
solubly united. It is in Kpheeue, where
81. John wrote that sublime phrase "God '
is love," that tbe first hospital ia erected.
A little later it was followed by the first
orphan asylum. Slaves received the
name of brothers for the first time; in a
word, in spite of the disguise which oov-
ers Christianity, and whioh stifles its
mightieot voioe, everywhere it reminds
man that the sufferings of humanity are
bis sufferings, and against them he baa
no right to close hia heart.
Second. I bave spoken for a moment
of the dignity whioh tbe Great Teaoher
puts npon tbe poorest, tbe most de
graded. But wbBt is the origin of this
dignity? It oomes from the belief that
within tbia poorest, the most degraded
one, there ia a soul. It is beoause I be
lieve in this soul (not beoause I am any
better than you) that tbe lowest, whether
slave or savaire. has a riul.t tn m
respect. Aethesoulptor, who anticipates
in tbe shapeless blook the figure full of
beauty or majesty which his obisel will
disengage, as the founder who sees in
the mineral foil of alloy metal shining
and pure, so, in tbe same manner, in a
being uncultivated, soiled by sin, I see
Bnd salute a soul regenerated and re
stored to tbe very image of God. If I
myself bave learned what a soul is, If I
have reoognized my own dignity, my
own grandeur, my own true life, then
tbis is the life I wish to see awakened in
others. It la on this side that I wish to
know and love my brothers, aud on thia
side peroeive that I shall know them
and love them through all eternity. To
