Show THE CITIZEN 6 LIGHT IN DARKNESS ENGINEERING Crouched In a dark and silent tomb, Apart, alone, in gloomy grief; Affliction clouded life and hope I knew no solace, no relief. I saw no liht, I heard no sound Despair a spectre ever near. My vitals shrunk, in horror clutched, And I was bound by chains of fear. Injustice ruled by mental state; I suffered wrongs I would not own The blight affliction has bestowed Dragged me down with weight of stone. I made no move to stem the tide, But drifted , aimless, weak and sad; And sore depressed, I longed for death And cursed the fate that drove me mad. Within my world no light of day, No sound of harmony or peace! My deadened soul awoke at last, Inspired by one who brought lease! re- her light, her warmth, her love, Which penetrated through my gloom; 'Twas then my shameful self I saw, Creating hell to be my doom. My Angel, with her pure desires, The best within me stirred to growth; Her wisdom led me step by step Through understanding felt by both. The cup of sorrows she had drained Thus deep responded unto deep; She taught me life was all in thought, How, daily sowing, we must reap. My wounds were healed, my grief dis- pelled I then found justice in Gods plan; No more afflictions blight I owned From false ideas I rose a man! Resolved to make the best of life; To mould conditions with strong will. And not to be the prey of fate. Succumbing to a fleshly ill.

Her love and wisdom sacred are! No fear of darkness can appall She is my light, my guiding star! I would be worthy of her love, Which points the way to Truth divine. I would to others proffer help And try to let my light far shine. Mary White Eastman. are more vain than women, members of the Photographers AssoMen, ciation of America declare.
