There Is n dull light of worldllness
In which evil things do not reveal
their terror. There Is moral twi-
light in which even glarlng wrong does
not expose Its hideousness. There are
commonly accepted standards before
which. even shabby things do not ap-
pear mean. But when we bring this
crooked conduct or this shabby char.
acter into the presence OF the Light OF
Life, the revelation Is astounding--in
the glory OF the Lord all our decorated
evil and all our powdered hypocrisles
show themselves for what they truly
