TRF: LIGJIT THAT SHINES.
Standing off the rook-bound harbor "' ' of New England is, a lighthouse tall o.n<l
n1n.jestic. :rhere it s~nds calm arid ste.~n among the seething turmoil of the sea. The angry · wa.ves dash their foamy crests agu.ips't its solid str\toturo
~ in vain. The wind' and the storm only make it seem more stn.~y ·and ... strong. High in th:e tower a beaeon light sends 'its ray a far out over the ,surging deep;
~
ships from af!\r see itr, an'd guide their courses -safely landward. · Not far n\my, some great black rocks lift their rugged heads above the waters as if to
. mennce ' any t hat would approach. But .lo I their ·. pt~rpose: is b)nsted by the · gleLUning rays of. the beacon light; they lift their orag~y 'forms no longer as a horror ·to the near sailing vessels. The kee~er of this lighthouse, a man of perhap~ sixty years, is the only occupant. His grizzled hend and well-worn features betoken n life of aQtive service ... \V~ may·. see him .almost cont inually poiishing and Snrn ishiog the lenses and reflectors, nnd doing everything po88i- · ble to make the light a-ppear ·more bright. \Vhenever asked why he spends so m~tch time in polishing, when it , would seem that be was working n1ore thart need be, he always answers, "1 polieh all-these so ~ucli that• my ligHt will brighten the rocks out yonder(" He says ~t aff" the' blots and stains gather the light becomes more dim, and that it is only by cnnstant and diligent effort in erasing every tai'nt of dust or smoke, that the light shines · out always bright overcoming all dan· ger of destruction and death.
