A Light In the Darkn ess.


His name shall be called Wonderful. lisa.
9;6
I stood by the seashore on one occasion
when the storm was raging. The voice Of
the Lord was upon the waters: and who WAS
] that I should tarry within doors when my
Masters voice was heard sounding along the
water7 Irose and stood to beholi the dash
Of His lightnings, and listen to the glory Of
His thunders. The sea and the thunders
were contesting with one another; the sea
with infinite clamor striving to hush the
deep-throated thunder, so that His voice
should not he heard; yet over and above the
Of God, as He spoke with flames Of fire, and
divided the way for the waters. It was a
dark night. and the sky was covered with
thick clouds, and scarce star could be seen
through the riffs Of the tempest; but at one
particular time I noticed far away on the
horizon, as il miles across the water, a bright
shining, like gold. It was the moon hidden
behind the clouds, so that she could not shine
upon us; but she was able to send her rays
down upon the waters, far away, where no
cloud happened to intervene.
though as read this chapter lisa. 9th1
last evening, that the prophet seemed to have
stood In like position when he wrote the
words Of my text. All round about him
were clouds Of darkness; be heard prophetic
thunders roaring, and lie saw flashes Of the
lightnings Of Divine vengeance; clouds and
darkness, for many league, were scattered
through history; but he saw far away q
bright spot-one place where the clear shin
ing came down from heaven.
And he sat down, and he penned these
words: "The people that walked in darkness
have seen great light: they that dwell in
the land Of the shadow Of death, upon them
hath the light shined:" and though he looked
through whole leagues Of space, where he
saw the battle of the warrior with confused
noise and garments rolled in BLOOD" yet lie
fixed bis eye upon onebright spot in futurity,
and he declared that there he saw hope Of
peace, prosperity, and blessedness; for, said
be, Unto US child is born, unto US son
is given; and the government shall be upon
his shoulder, and his name shall be called
Wonderful"
My dear friends. we live today upon the
verge Of that bright spot The world has
been passing through these clouds Of dark
ness, and the light Is cleaning on US now,
like the glintings Of the first rays Of morn
ing. We are coming to brighter day, and
s'at evening time it shall be light" The
clGuds and darkness shall be rolled up as
mantle that God needs no longer. and He
shall appear in His glory, and His people
shall rejoice with Him. But you must mark
that all the brightness was the result Of this
Child born, this Son given, whose name is
called Wonderful; and If we can discern
any brightness in our own hearts, or in the
worlds history, 1t can come from nowhere
else than from the One who is called "Won-
derful Counsellor, thei mighty GoL"-
