Radiant Living
a LITTLE FRIEND
OF NINE
By Rev. c. M. Griffeth
Pastor Calvary NJ. E. Church
Sudlersville, Md.

Across the street l have a little
friend whose radiant brightness
has cheered me through many a
dark night Although he is only
that little street light up on the
pole, yet in those sleepless mid
night hours he pours his CHEEKY
radiance into my bedroom as
though he were bidding me to for
get the haunting problems of the
day. Often he seems to say to me ::
GO to sleep and forget your
troubles; I will watch over you
through the night"
During the warm summer even
ing when the leaves of the closely
maple are dancing in his mellow
radiance like so many frolicking
nymphs, my little friend would
now and then peak through their
merry masses and send their shad-
ows scampering about upon my
bedroom wall.
And on those rainy nights too,
when a steady drizzle was falling
and the autos weent slowly slouch-
ing by, or now and then, some dark
figure half hidden under a lowheld
umbrella would for the moment
emerge out of the dark mists of
the drizzle and pass through the
little area lit by his feeble rays,
my optimistic little friend, with
every ounce of his energy, would
struggle to light the belated trav-
eler on his way.
One night my little friend ceased
to shine. Need 1 tell you how
dark it was-and how lonesome :?
And as I kept missing him, / be-
gan to wonder if any one had ever
been made a little more cheerful,
little brighter, little less lone
some because of what small ra-
diancy of cheer might be mine to
give.
