An infidel was one day troubled in his mind as he sat in his room alone
while his little girl was away at Sunday School. He had often said, "There
is no God"; but he could not satisfy himself with his skepticism. To quiet
his troublesome thoughts, he took some large cards and printed on each of
them, "God is nowhere," and hung them up in his study.
His little daughter soon came home, and began to talk about her
heavenly Father. The infidel pointed her to one of the cards, and said:
"Read that." She climbed to a chair and began eagerly to spell it out:
"G-o-d, God; i-s, is; n-o-w, now; h-e-r-e, here; God is now here. Isn't that
right, papa? I know it is right--God is now here."
The father's heart was touched, and his infidelity was banished by the
faith of his little one. By George B. Thompson, Signs of the Times, October

Quote: "Lights do not talk, but they do shine. A lighthouse sounds no drum,
it beats no gong; and yet, far over the waters, its friendly spark is seen
by the mariner. So let your actions shine out your religion. Let the main
sermon of your life be illustrated by your conduct." By Charles Spurgeon,
Signs of the Times, January 13, 1925
