Ruthie is going to bed by candlelight. This is something different to what she is used to, but Daddy’s cabin doesn’t have electricity. Christian boys and girls are said to “shine as lights in the world; holding forth the word of life.” Phil. 2:15,16.
The Lord is my light and my salvation. Psalm 27:1
JESUS bids us shine
With a clear, pure light,
Like a little candle
Burning in the night;
In this world of darkness
So we must shine,
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.
Jesus bids us shine
First of all for Him;
Well He sees and knows it
If our light grows dim;
He looks down from heaven
To see us shine,
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.
Thy word is... a light unto my path Psalm 119:105
