“Will God Blow Out His Lights?”

A little girl had been put to bed who was afraid of the dark. The lamp had been put out, but presently she saw the bright moon out of her window, and she asked her mother, “Is the moon God’s light?” “Yes, Ethel,” the mother replied; “the moon and stars are all lights of God.” “Will God blow out His lights and go to sleep, too?” she asked again. “No, my child,” replied the mother; “God’s lights are always burning.” “Well, mamma,” said Ethel, “while God’s awake I’m not afraid.”
