The Burst of Light

Improvement Era, vol. 15, no. 6, April 1912, p. 528

Leishman, LeRoy

The Burst of Light The dawn approaches, and the shadows fade away. From dismal depths there bursts a flood of radiant light. The sun climbs swiftly upward, and the new-born day Dispels the darkness and the ugly mists of night.

Thus, from the gloom of ignorance, a truth may spring Its light resplendent lighting up some murky sky! And one of us full well a sun might be, to bring The welcome ray of truth that lights and cannot die. Le Roy Leishman. Loc^n, Utah,
