\ Page Twelve THE CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday, December 13, 1956 THE WORLD'S MOST WIDELY USED DEVOTIONAL GUIDE The Light still shines in the darkness, and the dark, ness has never put it out. (John" , l:5. Phillips) Our first opportunity to visit a cave was during' a vacaton trip As we stood looking at the rock formations, wet with water, our guide explained that the formation of the rocks by dripping water was started centuries ago. He also said that the green vegetation growing on the walls did not appear until electric lights were install ed. - - - , Our guide pulled the electric ^switch, arid the cave -was - in .total darkness—the blackest we had ever experienced. - ThehTpur guide lighted a candle. We could see again. All the darkness in the cave could not put out the light of that candle. A radiant and unfaltering^ faith i^ God had its beginning long centuries ago Chrisians throughout the ages witness tl\at new life springs forth in the darkest places when exposed to the light of God’s Word The assurances of the Christian (pith are that God has estab lished His Word as a light in the world, ar^d that no darkness is black enough to put it out. PRAYER O Christ, Thou art the true light of this world. So shine into our hearts that all the darkness will be ex pelled and we shall walk in Thy light without fear and without stumbling. In the blessed name of Christ we pray. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Christ is the Light of the World: no darkness can overcome Him Howard B. Oborn (Illinois) Sunday quests of Mr. apd Mrs. S. J.

An amplifier was blaring, “O Come, AU Ye FaithfuL” "That leaves me out," said Joe, cynically. "I'm not one of the faithful, so I’m not supposed to come.” Now, I’m a Christian; and I can’t let a remark like that go unanswered. “Ever stop to think, Joe, that the faitltful are not only the folks who have been faithful, but also the folks who are going to become faithful... like you, Joe?” To make a long story short, Joe went with me to Church the neat day. And we both heard the Pastor say that the purpose of Christmas is to reveal God’s 1nv» trt a wnrIH that Hn.fi not nnH.rstanH ...
