he felt sad as he thought of her he
loved, yet this sadness seemed
something that could be borne,
since he felt, "Nearer my God, to
Thee," even though it had been a

One night a man took a little
taper out of a drawer and lighted
it, apd began to ascend a long,
winding stair.
"Where are you going said
taper. .
"Away high up," eaid the man;
"higher than the top of the house
where we sleep."
. "And what are you going to do
there?" ;
"I am going to show the shir
at sea where the harbor is," said
the man. "For we stand here at
the entrance of the harbor, and
some ships out on the stormy sea
may be looking for our light even
now." .
"Alas! no ship could ever see
my Jight," said the little taper,
"it is so very Bmall." -v
"If your light is small," said
the man, "keep it burning bright,
and leave the rest to me."
. Well when the can cot up to
the. top of the lighthonse they
were in, he took- the. little taper,
and with itlighed the great lamps
that stood ready there with their
polished reflectors behind them.
You who think your little light
of so small account, can you not
see what God nay do with it?
