A
young girl once consulted with her
minister.
"I
cannot stick it out any longer.
I
am the only Christian in the factory where I
work.
I
get nothing but taunts and sneers.
It
is more than I can stand.
I
am going to resign."
"Will you tell me," asked the
minister,
"where lights are
placed?"
"What has that to do with
it?"
the
young Christian asked him rather
bluntly.
"Never mind," the minister
replied.
"Answer my
question:
'Where are lights placed?'
"
"I
suppose in dark places,"
she
replied.
"Yes, and that is why you have been put
in
that factory where there is such
spiritual darkness
and
where there is no other Christian to
shine for the
Lord."
The
young Christian realized for the first
time
the
opportunity that was hers.
She
felt she could not fail God by allowing
her
light to go out.
She
went back to the factory with renewed
determination
to
let her light shine in that dark corner.
Before long, she was the means of
leading
nine other girls to the
Light.

"Light is sown for the
righteous,
and gladness for the upright in
heart."
Psalm
97:11
"Let your light so shine before
men,
that they may see your good
works,
and glorify your Father which is in
heaven."
Matthew 5:16
