THE HEATHEN WORLD

By Bishop Foster

Bishop Foster
PAINT a starless sky; hang your picture with night; drape the mountains with long, far-reaching vistas of darkness; hang the curtains deep along every shore and landscape; darken all the past; let the future be draped in deeper and yet deeper night; fill the awful gloom with hungry, sad-faced men and sorrow-driven women and children,—it is the heathen world, the people, seen in vision by the prophet, who sit in the region and shadow of death, to whom no light has come; sitting there still through the long, long night, waiting and watching for the morning.— Selected.
