 This illustration is one of several sim pie, yet beautiful ones which the pres ent author uses in his well-named booklet, Light in Dark Places The subject deals with the spiritual imagina- tion which is to be used reasonably and consistently in the aid of faith. This imagination, he argues. is placed for cur service no less surely than the fan cy of the mind in every day matters. It must needs work in harmony with past experience and with the many gleams of light afforded by the Scrip lures. Then the dark places will be no more, or so nearly illumined as to lose all their terrors.
