 RAINBOWS IN HAWAII Duncan M. McAllister §


 Rainbows have always fascinated me; I re- |


1 gard them as one of the most beautiful of all of 1


| Nature's beautiful phenomena, apart from their |


1 scriptural significance. This is a supreme Rainbow |


| Land; the frequent showers are often accompanied |


| or followed by that brilliant prismatic display arch- |


1 ing some part of heaven and earth. When I am |


| enshrouded in a mental cloud, I try to believe there 1


1 exists a radiant spiritual rainbow, indicating a |


| quick return of sunshine to the soul, if I will

1 bravely weather the storm that caused the cloud.
