MEMORIES
T | e shadows , J of the evening with
its dust and dryness of atmosphere,
has been changed into the morn
ing of beautiful refreshing show-,
ers, with the glittering of the
sparkling raindrops, that so won
derfully puts life into the wither-!
ing rose petals, and lifts the fol-i
iage it bathes of all the kinds face of vegetation, old asj
of mother'
1 earth, and puts a song of joy into
the hearts of those who so willing
ly and honestly labor for the
things that a good and loving God
has promised them, “that by the
sweat of the brow they would be
rewarded.’’
In speaking of shadows we have
quite a few different kinds of
i shadows, in the evening when the
sun is shedding its l$st rays upon
this old earth we sometimes see a
beautiful mixture of red and gold
en radiance as the shadows of the
evening come creeping in and soon
our sunset has been changed to
darkness, which brings loneliness
and fear, sometimes tragedy,
This only reminds us that while
we are enjoying the beauty of some
shadows, we should not forget that
there are other shadows that we
can’t enjoy, and we cannot under
stand why they come, in the Bible
the Prophet Amos tells us in chap
ter 5, and verse 7 that the “shad
ows of death will be turned into
the morning” if we put our trust
in God and call upon Him when
these shadows fall upon us, we
have just experienced a scene
where the shadows were very dark
and heavy, where two ,„TZ beautiful
rosebuds w. plucked
home of a good Christian Father
and Mother, we can only say as did
Amos of old “seek the comforting
grace of a loving heavenly Father”
and the shadows will fade away
mto a morning of beautiful prom
ises to those who bow to the will
of Him who doeth all things well
As we have enjoyed the bless
ings of the refreshing showers, and
realize what vigor it will put into
the things that are growing around
us* so it should put new life in us.
it proves to us that God is always
mindful of us. He sends the sun
shine and the rain, the springtime
and all the other seasons. Had you
ever thought lor what purpose or
for whom this was done, just for
you and me.
What me we doing for Him, this
is a great question for every one of
us to consider, it’s a wonder that
j there are not more dark SHAD
