"WHERE IS ABEL THY BROTHER?"

HON. CLARENCE A. BUSKIRK

In the fourth chapter of Genesis we are tersely told of the judgment which followed so closely upon the crime committed by Cain: "And the Lord said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand." This may recall the oft-quoted lines of Coleridge,—

He prayeth best who loveth best
All things both great and small;
For the good Lord who loveth us,
He made and loveth all.
