Helping Others

LIGHT and reflector both have their part in the radiance of the lighthouse. If we can not have the power and brilliance of a flame for good, we can unselfishly reflect whatever light others make. Many a great man’s life is made a beacon not only by its own flame, but by the wife, or sister, or friend, who helps to gather, focus, and send out the rays. “I had a friend,” was Charles Kingsley’s explanation of his success in life. In helping others to shine, many souls can find the loveliest usefulness and radiance that could be asked for.—Selected.
