It is only when we are iri dark- ness that we have any idea of what light really* means to us. A story came over the radio recent- lyabouttwo young yo ng girls who had been sent out to find the cows. They wandered on listening for the sound of the bells which would tell them in which direc- tion the cows had wandered, Presently the older of the two realized that night was settling down, and they turned and tried to retrace their steps, but darkness fell and they knew they we're lost in the woods. After tramp- ing around for some time they decided they were probably go- ing in circles so made up their minds to stay just where they were knowingthat their father would begin to search for them. They kept calling. Finally they BUSINESS AND PROFESSIONAL DIRECTORY LEGAL H. 1'.

What joy that little speck of light brought to them. Only those who have been in such conditions have any idea what it means to be lost in the darkness and then, see a light, the light of rescue or of salvation.

ONTARIO Complete Shen Service AUTHORIZED GOOlUjijEAR DEALER peace, but peace was not to be As he stood there he yoiced the words • which have been repeated many times, "The lamps are go- ing out all over Europe and they will not be lighted again in our lifetime." The lamps have never been re -lighted and as country ntry after r country seems to be facing an economical or political crisis we are led to wonder just if and when that great day will come when the light of peace will again shine in all its to g rY• There are few now living who can look back to the time when their little log houses were light- ed only by the tallow dip, then by the home-made candles, In years gone by elderly people loved to talk of those pioneer days. Any one who wanted to read sat within the little circle of light, and the rest of the family put in their time talking in the semi -darkness, the older ones telling of their home life in tar off lands. They had taken weeks to cross the ocean in a sailing vessel and months travelling to their present location and in building their home. To them it was a second heaven to have even a tallow dip. They worked very hard during the day and their evening was short. Hence the necessity for light was nothing in comparison to what it is today. What a vast change there is from those days to now when im- migration brings future Canadians from distant shores to our fair Dominion in a matter of hours. There are some homes in Canada which are still lighted by lamps, u ifsufficientpower can be secured it will not be man ea until every hamlet will be lighte y e ectricr y. but y y rs d b 1 't The sun is the great lamp of the out-of-doors. During the sum- mer months how pleasant it is to waken and see the rays of that great solar body pouring into our room. No matter how snsalr the opening the sun will make its way in. It carries the message "Now here I am to brighten your day." We, as children used to think when we could not see the sun that it had stopped shining, but now we know that its rays are pouring on mankind in some part of the world. During our night the people on the other side of the world are enjoying its rays, During our daytime when the light seems dim we realize that clouds are obstructing our view, but we know that every cloud has a silver lining. Perhaps we have never realized this so much until we have heard someone who has been fortunate enough to have had an airplane trip during a thunder storm describe their ex- perience. They are sailing high above the earth. Clouds are be- low thein, Perhaps through a rent in them they, can see the darkness which is covering the earth but the sun is shining brightly on the upper surface of the clouds. They tell us it is indeed a beautiful sight. The world was in spiritual darkness when Christianity was born. There are many places which are still in the darkness of despair. Christ directed His dis- pieszto go into all the world and reach the gospel, We as His Rowers have had splendid'op- rtunities to follow His command ut we have not done so. We ave refused to give of the moni- ary means which He has given to try to send on His message. We have given of many otherngs, we have even helped our nemies to wage war against not y other nations, but also against urselves, with the result that to- yaGod's Messengers are finding necessary to leave the fields here they have worked for years try to bring Christianity to so who have not heard His rd. A letter to -day from a ssionary in China tells us after wasting of the difficulties and ngers of the work there. That y have been ordered by the on 'in charge of the work to ave their lovely hospital and to as quickly es passible to saf- y. Would such a thing have hap if Christ's followers had no as the Lord had commanded What a pathetic state of ai- rs! We, who profess to be stians are spending our time amusements in which Christ take no part instead of study - His word and praying that may have a share in evangel - g the world. That beautiful picture of Hole - man Hunt shows Christ standing at the door of our heart. In His hand he carries a lantern for there is no light shining from our abode.

He will not force His way in. We must open the door from the inside and let Him come in and bring the light of salvation which will shine from us when we accept Him as our personal Saviour. We cannot be a follower of Jesus Christ unless we make it a rule of our life to let His light shine through our actions and words. Many of us have started out on a dark night to go to visit a neighbor.

So it is In our daily life. We accept Christ and at times feel that we can get along without any help from Him.• We do not go far until we realize that we are not making any progress. Why? Be- cause we are trying to go on in our own strength, we have no time to read His word or we might say His letter to us. Nor do we avail ourselves of the wonderful opportunity to pray to Hien for guidance and help to go on from day to day. Without that our Christian life will be a fail- ure -_our light will not shine for Him. What a disappointment it must be to him!
