A FRIEND who was visiting a lighthouse lately, said to the keeper, “Are you not afraid to live here? it is a dismal place to be constantly in.”
“No,” replied the man, “I am not afraid, we never think of ourselves here.”
“Never think of yourselves, how is that?” His answer was a good one, “We know that we are perfectly safe, and only think of having our lamps brightly burning, and keeping the reflectors clear, so that those in danger may be saved.”
Dear young friends, can you say you know that you are perfectly safe? Are your feet on the rock Christ Jesus? If not, what terrible danger is yours! Ah! do not rest until you can say, “I know that I am perfectly safe, for Jesus died for me.”
Do not delay, but hide in Him before the awful storm breaks that is coming on all who will not heed His voice of loving warning.
Some of you, my dear young readers, have heard the sweet voice of Jesus calling you and have fled for refuge to His arms of love. Keep close, close to Him, and so you will be bright lights shining for Him in this world where there is so much sin and sorrow.
