Light in the Valley

Listen from:
A BLIND Hindu boy, when dying, said joyfully:—“I see! I see! I have light now. I see the King in His beauty. Tell the missionary the blind boy sees. I glory in Jesus.”
A wounded soldier, when asked if he were ready to depart, said, “O yes; my Saviour, in Whom I have long trusted, is with me now. The dark valley is lighted up by His smile.”
A young man, who had lately found Jesus, was laid upon his dying bed. A friend, who stood near him, asked, “Is it dark?” In speaking of it afterward, this friend said, “I shall never forget his reply to my questions. “No, no,” he exclaimed, “it’s light, it’s light, it’s all light!” And thus, in the joy which this light gives, he entered into heaven.
“Mine eyes have seen Thy salvation, which Thou hast prepared before the face of all people, A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of Thy people Israel.” Luke 2:30, 31, 3230For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, 31Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; 32A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. (Luke 2:30‑32).
