Let in the Light.

By Russell H. Conwell

I WAS in a train and heard a remark made by a gentleman who I concluded was building a house. It was made to his architect or carpenter, who asked him what rooms of the house he should wire for electric lights. The answer went back as the train drew out of the station: “Wire every room in the house. Wire every closet.” O, “Thy kingdom come;” but when it does come, every room in the house of the soul will be illuminated by the light of Christ. There will be no part of our lives that will not be bright. That man wanted to have an electric bulb put in every china closet, in every wardrobe, in every part of the cellar, and every portion of the attic, so that no part of his mansion should be without illumination. Wire your whole house! Wire your whole soul! And let the light of God’s love shine into everything that you do, into all you think, into every influence which you exert over other people. There should be no night here.—Russell H. Conwell.
