Human Responsibility?Am I My Brother1* Keeper? When Webster was asked what was the greatest thought that ever occu? * pied his mind he replied: "The most ? important thought that ever occupied ~'Jay mind was my individual responsibility to God." If this be true, the sepond. greatest thonght that ever occupied man's mind is his responsibility to his fellowman. Every one cf x? is to the extent of our ability to help, shield and defend our fellowman, responsible fcr him. This is abundantly taught by the hightesfc of all authority, the Bible, The first murderer tried to escape human responsibility by asking, "Am I my brother's keeper?" Bat God clearly taught him that he was by the declaration: "The voice of thy brother's blood crieth - unto me from the ground." Gen. 4:11. Human respo is clearly taught by Bzekiel when he declares that anless we warn the wicked that he turn from his wickedness, he 9hall die in his sin, "but his blood will I require at tby hand." Ezek. 3:18. The Saviour teaches it by the act of the good Samaritan. "He did not rob and wound the poor man by the road side, but he was responsible for taking care of him. St. Luke 10:30:37. Also the person who causes some one else to go wrong, "it were better for him that a millstone were banged about his neck and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." Matt. 18:6. Paul teaches - the same truth again and again. In _ Rom. 15:1 he says, "We that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves." AI90, "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." But the strongest proof of human responsibility, if we havo measured accurately, is Paul's position with reference to eating meats offered to idols. Read Rom. 14 and 1 Cor. 8. The account and explanation is too long for the purpose of thi9 letter. But this much can be said: Paul teaches here that as far as he is concerned, personally, he can eat such meat, but if by eating thus, he caused some weaker brother to sin, then for the sake of the brother ' he wonld eat no flesh as long as the world standefch. We have refrained, for the sake of space, from developing these points. But certainly no fair mind can read these references and say he is not the extent of his ability responsible for his brother. As far as we know, whiskey wrecks { more homes, blight more lives, breaks more hearts, impovisbes countries, mere jails, alms-houses and asyImms for the insane And sends more sphlsWhell than all other causes com^biaed. I believe we all agree that dS^^ennesa is a great evil. But who i^fesponsible^ there comes the rob. Here, Oain, like we, cry out, 'jgtn j my brother's keeper?" And tlm blood shed in drunken brawls and j ggahing from broken hearts and wailiky from the torments of hell is crying i out against some of those who make the interogation. Let us locate the responsibility. ?&re is a .moderate,} respectable. (?)J drinker, stands well in society, church ^ asd-state.' ?te . doesn'fc go too ;far. He has backbone. Bat a boy sees him, sad hoping to be a moderate, respectable drinker, be goes from bad to worse until he is a confirmed drunkard. Who is responsible? At whose hand will his blood be required? A mother spikes the punch at the social function. Her boy has an inhered appetite, and, like the young lion with first taste of blood, he finally lands in the gutter. Who is responsible? At i whose hand will his blood be requir- I ed? Here comes a friend (?) bent on a good (?) time. The social bottle is passed. But he said he was going to quit. "Come on," he is urged, and , the poor hoy, fighting the devil within and without, falls. Who is responsible? At whose band will his blood be . required? ?ere is a voter who has the God-given right to legalize its sale or to outlaw it, and he votes to put it to the mouths of the youth of his land. By this many homes are ruined, heart9 broken and souls lest. Who is responsible? At whose hand will his blood be required? The uram f seller, by bar, dispensary or blind ) tiger, for the love of money, snatches S the boy away from the home and ( makes him a drunkard. Who i- < responsible? At whose hand will his j blood be required? Here is a man < honored by his countrymen by eieva- , tion to office. He can use this office j to help stamp out the nefarious busi- 1 ne9s or to give it the respectability of , legal standing and by it my boy is j | TiInorl Who i<* resnonsible? At whose \ * '***?"
