LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE
The sun and the moon had a chat
one day,
And the sun was heard to the moon
to say:
“My light illumines the big wide
world,
Wherever the flags of men are furl
ed ;
The earth were steeped in darkest
night,
Did I not sihine with effulgence
bright.
The light you give is not your own;
You cannot shine of yourself alone;
Are you not ashamed that you can
not shine
With a light as clear and strong as
mine?”
When the sun’s last rays in the West
had died
A full cheese moon to the sun re
plied :
“Your journey ends and your course
is run,
But mine has now only just begun.
’Tis true I have no power to shine
And the light I give is yours, not
mine;
But the power that gave the light
to you
Ordained that I should reflect it. too.
J shed your beams o’er an ocean wide
And govern the ebb and flow of the
tide;
I gather the rays of your radiant
light
Asa guide by land and sea at night.
I, too, must yield to the Father’s
will;
I, too, have a place in His world to
fill.”
’Twas a sermon indeed; we cannot
deny
Thus nugget of truth in the moon’s
reply:
If you can’t be a sun or selfluminou.s
star,
Bea moon to reflect God’s light
where you are;
For there’s just one hope for this
troubled world
With its wrongs and flags of hate
unfurled.
Our roles in life we must not neg
lect;
If we cannot shine we can all reflect
The beams that gleam from a sun
divine,
That the Master’s light through us
may shine.
—Frank Clark.
A pure affection, concentric, for
getting self, forgiving wrongs and
forestalling them, should swell the
lyre of human love. —Mary Baker
