ofet your alight csjhlne How far the little candle throws its gleam So shines a good deed in a naughty world. So observed the philosopher and poet, William Shakespeare. It is a beautiful comparison, but not entirely his own, for, many centuries before the Elizabethan Age, the King of philosophy and poetry, jesus Christ, told His followers, You are the light of the world . . . men light a candle upon a candlestick, that it may shine to all who are in the houseg so let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father Who is in heaven. That mess- age He imparted to all who were to possess the Faith, not merely to those who were then His disciples. It was for us, that we may use the candle, not only to light our own path to the Eternal Light, but to attract others to its lucidity, warmth and glory. This candle, lovely and inspiring, stands in a window, the window of Charity in the House of God. It burns quietly, but lights, warms and beautifles a cold heart, and by its very simplicity and unassuming richness, enlightens the labyrinths of sin and chastises proud spirits. So can we, the present disciples of the King, take that candle, following always its light, and keep ever constant the fire of our Faith. By our words and ac- tions, throughout our lives, what- ever may be our state, we may reflect its gentle light to all with whom we come in contact. Nu- merous and frequent will come opportunities to melt the icy heart, to enkindle the lukewarm and to guide the fervent. Thus will be the candle's gleam: far- flung yet steadfast, universal yet constant, glorious yet quiet, mighty yet humble! KATHLEEN MAX. -,,.. . 18
