AS ] removed 1t from It's socket
my cIumgS fingers let it fall and
falling 1t Shattered into many
pieces. picked up the threaded
brass ferrule that had held the
bulb OF glass before 1t was broken
and found some very thin wires
still attached to it. Just ordinary
bits OF metal. these wires, but a
few moments before they had illu-
minated an entire room. What had
made the difference? A mysteri-
GUS. intangible something-we call
it electricity-had flowed into this
common metal and the wires fam
ed with light. A bit like this 1t
was with Lincoln. Speaking Of
him DR.. Fosdick writes: Like
rough iron magnetized. his power
lay In something that took pos
session of him: like wire incandes-
cent he shone with what ne stood
for"
And Or. Fosdlck continues:
Take from Lincoln the things he
stood for and what a queer re-
mainder. He was gaunt. awkward.
ungainly. He came from unprom-
ising origins and small opportual-
tiles. He was not gifted with brill
liant genius that could cover in
ward lack" He was great because
he gave himself without stint to
aspousing great truths and fight
ing for worthy causes.
And what was true for Lincoln
is equally true of others. Take
from Christ's disciples the Pente-
costal powers with which He en-
dued them and you have a pitiful
remainder-fr frightened men hiding
behind locked doors. Take from
Paul the magnificent obsession"
that laid hold of him on the Da-
mascus road and you have a little
known member of a fanatical Jew
ish sect whose fame would not
have reached beyond the narrow
confines es his own race Take
from Luther. Calvin and Knox the
truths feS~hich they gave voice
and theif names would not now be
echoing Down the corridors of
time. All were relatively little
men, but their littleness was Gods
opportunity. When He clothed
them with divine power great
things were done.
All this should be deep-going
encouragement for us. We are
little people-you and but as
great electrical power can flow
through conduits OF base mater
ial so Gods power can flow through
us unto the accomplishment of
worthy tasks. OF course 1t is un-
likely that 1t lies within the prov
ince of Gods will TO make of any
of US another Lincoln or another
Paul, yet by making their spirit
ours we can add dignity and worth
to the humblest service serene in
the assurance that He Who voiced
appreciative recognition of the
widows mite and the cup of cold
water given in His name will not
fail us with His reward.
