Sunday School Lesson

we have done for Gods 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. Abels blood de
manded vengeance, the blood of the
Christ, that had been typif1ed 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 three-fold 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 q vagabond upon the
EARTH
Gains conscience was not aroused
by the judgment that God passed
upon him. The same old spirit of
selfishnesS that had ruined his life
appears in his complaint that the
| punishment was greater than he
| could bear. There was no plea for
n y. There was no Indication of
,ntance. There was no sign of
.JrTow, or any evidence OF regret.
| The faintest appeal of a contrite
| heart would have secured for Cain
| forgiveness. When he complained
| that his life was in danger there
was an indication that fear Of being
punished by men for the murder had
| made a coward of the unrepentant
! one. No one had told Cain that his
| life was in danger.
| In response to his cry of fear. God
| placed his mark upon Cain, which in
sured his protection. II teache1 us
| how God tempers justice with n ercy
| 1t shows US how the great loving
| Father watches over all mankind
| watching eagerly for the slightest
| indication of a chance to save one
who has failed in his duty TO Him
! and to his fellowmen. The first sign
| Of repentance will bring TO all the
assurance of salvation, the protec-
| ton that comes with the passport
of Gods grace, recognizing us as
| citizens of glory and giving unto us
peace through the merits of the Re
| deemer's blood. While the acceptance
| of Christ Jesus will bring us saliva.
| ton, no sinner can ever completely
escape being punished for the sins
| that he commits against the laws o1
nature. society, state or nation.

High shall abide under the shadow of
the Almighty. l will say of the Lord,
He is my refuge and my fortress; my
God: in Him will I trust. Surely He
shall deliver thee from the snare of
the fowler and from the noiSome pes
thence. He shall cover thee with His
feathers, and under His wings shalt
thou trust; His trust shall be thy
shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be
afraid for the terror by night; nor for
the arrow that flieth by day. Nor for
the pestilence that walketh in dark
ness: nor for the destruction that
Wasteth at MONDAY. a thousand
shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand
at thy right hand; but it shall not
come nigh thee. Only with thine eye
shalt thou behold and see the reward
of the wicked. Because thou hast
made the Lord, which Is my refuge,
even the Most High, thy habitation:
there shall no evel befall thee. neither
shall any plague come nigh thy dwell
ing. For He shall give His angels
charge over thee, to keep thee in all
thy ways"
The practical question. then. is.
"How can get the Lord on my side?"
The answer is easy. Draw nigh to
God and He will draw nigh to thee"
When we are on Gods side, He will
surely be on our side, and then we
will not fear! He promises, Them
that honor me I will honor"
The cure for the fret and fever in
our blood today and the only sure way
to Danish fear-for time and for eter
nity--is to put our trust in God and
take His side against our own SINS
and all other enemies of His.
The Psalmist exclaimed again, REF
uge failed me. Then I cried unto the
the Lord, o Lord, Thou art my
refuge"
All are seeking. consciously or un-
consciously, for some place OF safety
and of rest. We are surrounded on
every side with forces that are beyond
our control, and problems vex us too
complex and wearying for us to solve.
In such hours, our souls instinctively
ask, Where can flee and who will
help? There is a voice of sympathy,
of understanding, of commanding
power and it says to us:
Come unto Me, all we that labor
and are heavy laden, and I will give
you rest Take My yoke upon YOU,
and learn of Me, for ] am meek and
lowly in heart and ye shall find rest
unto your souls. For My yoke is easy
and my Burden is light" Matthew
Ii: %, 30)
Here is serenity! Here is peace!
Here Is unending Joy.

NJ u SIC
THE STEEL MILL TENOR,

Several hundred members Of the
State Society Of Pennsylvania and
D. A. r. representatives from that
state gathered in the ballroom of the
Willard Hotel last night In leisurely
reception, from SIS till 9:1o, when
Louis Cation, 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
meeting.
Mr.. Cation, who was accompanied at
the piano by Miss Marta Stuart, stat
ed that he had some cold and was
not in as good form as he could
wish. However. he sang remarkably
we'll for one so handicapped. He has
an unusually mellow quality for a
tenor and a fine range. His opening
number, the Largo" from Handel's
''XerXes," and the following selection,
Giordani'S Caro- Mic Ben" both sung
in Italian, showed good training in
the bel canto style. Schubert's "Sere-
made" 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 we'll as fire.
quently in the tonal quality, Mr..
dIOIl WdS quite reminiscent OF JOnD
Mccormack several years ago. He is
a. 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 remark
ably charming personality and, q
genial smile that will go a long way
toward landing him in the hearts of
his audience. With all that, he un-
doubtedly has voice of great pos
sibilities. Squires' "In an Old
fashioned Town." the encore to his
first group. showed ability in the
singing of the type of ballad
which made the great Irish tenor
famous. He also had on his program
songs by Stephen Foster, Herbert
Hughes, Terry, Dunn, Spross and
Speaks.
1t is to be hoped Mr.. Cation will
come to Washington in a regular re-
cital next season.

reign of law. All was chaos and dis
order. You We're sick, not because Of
bad food or water. but because a devil
had you in it's clutches. Fear reigned
with arbitrary power over mans do
matn-fear Of demons, fear Of gods,
fear of the witch, fear of the evil eye.
Birth was surrounded with dread por-
tents. Death was shrouded in awful
mystery. Man sidled in craven fear
from the cradle to the grave.
The religion of Jesus was blow at
fear. Jesus taught of a God who rules
by love. This God is a. Father, and
can he trusted.
His followers did not understand.
The ancient superstitions keep their
tight hold. The Christian church took
over the witchcraft and the supersti-
ton of primitive man, dressed it in
the garments of q new vocabulary, re-
fined it bit, improved on it in places.
and continued to teach a religion OF
fear.
For 10 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 everlasting torment. Mar
tin Luther could sing of a world with
demons filled" Children have been
reared in world which is to be feared.
under a God who is to be feared. The
attempt has been made to scare peo-
pie into acquiescence. 1t does not
work.
This religion which thrives on fear
and superstition is forever corrected
by two powerful forces.
First, there 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 a world which
is governed by law, not chaos. This law
is inexorable and binding. A man gets
what he pays for. If he pays for
sickness he gets it. If he pays for
health, he gets it. If he chooses
Heaven on earth, he can have it-by
paying the price in character and
life. II he is too lazy, if he plays fast
and loose, hell is always waiting. 1t
is not thrust upon him. He mahufac-
lures it for himself.
Perfect love casteth out fear. The
man who is in love with life, and
treats life with the reverence Of Il
lover, is lifted above the spooks and
demons, which infest the air of the
old regime. He is free by his own
vote.

HELEN CORBIN HEINL.
National String Quartet Also Has
Part In Excellent Concert.

There are several really excellent
pianists living in Washington, people
who could easily achieve wider fame
and recognition of their fine talents
and technique. Prominent in this
group is Helen Corbin Heinl, a pupil
of MacDowell, Careno and Harold
Bauer and rarely gifted to interpret
both the modern and classical works.
Yesterday she and the National
String Quartet Of Washington, which
also is of first class concert caliber,
gave a joint program that was a de-
lightful ending to the seasons musi-

Lszt "t'ruehlingsnacht," substituted

Cyril SCOTS 'IOtos Land" "Jardin
Sous la Pluie," by DebuSsy, and
Ravel's "JeuX d'eau," with Philips
''FeuX Follets' as the encore. Mrs.
Heinl seems in perfect command of
every subtle nuance known to the
plano. Her manner of playing is
easily relaxed and her touch has in
ulV1duallty.
Mrs. Ileinl is a remarkably fine
pianist and as fine an interpreter.
Could all modern composers works
be interpreted TO a Sceptical public
by musicians possessing Mrs. Heinl'S
artistry, they would not seem so
queer and disjointed. for artists such
as this pianist have the knack of get
ting the mental and emotional atti-
tude of each composer and translating
it to the audience
The National String Quartet, Henri

valuable organizations in Washington
musically. All Washington men, who
have been training in quartet work
for several years now, this organiZa-

efficiency and artistry. The members
are all earnest musicians keenly in
terested in the worthwhile works
both old and new. On every program
