GETTING LARGER CROWDS
Sir Winston Churchill had just made a speech. And the large crowd had stood and applauded. A woman walked up and said to him: Sir, isn’t it flattering that so many have come to hear you and applaud like this. Yes, but I also know that if it were my “hanging” the crowd would be twice this size. Like all, I prefer the sunny uplands of experience but I have learned more about God, life and myself in the darkness of fear and failure than I have ever learned in the sunshine. There are such things as the treasures of darkness. The darkness, thank God, passes. But what one learns in the darkness, one possesses forever. Even plants do their growing in the darkness. The sunshine simply reveals the amount of growth. Weatherhead
