Help Out of Darkness

Help Out of Darkness.—Reader, there come to you sometimes dark hours, dark days, dark nights of sorrow, and trouble, and perplexity. Do not doubt God, tho the darkness comes. Some of the beautiful things of this world are wrought in darkness. The photographer gets his first impression on the plate by light, but he immediately closes the shutter, and the picture is developed in a dark place. Sunlight would destroy it. So God frequently shuts us up in a dark room in order that the solitude may develop new phases of beauty in our own life and character, in order that there may be impressed upon us some one or more of His graces of spirit. Only let us submit ourselves to the Master Artist.
