Ernem IL Emurisa) St. Paul was stopped ini hi tracks by the blindmng light o the Sun onl the Damascus roac but it was the kindly light o: a star that led the Wise Mer ta the manger of the Chrie child. Since then, many havi sought ta guide their foatstep! by the radiance of the noonda3 sun, when God bas been seek. ing ta order their ways by tax gentier glow of an eveninâ star. Sa it was with brillant 32- year aId Anglican clergyman John Henry Newman. Return. ing ta his native England frrn an extended visit ta Rame, hi- boarded an Italian orange-boal for the journey ta Marseilles. France. Newman, deeply hurt because af the lack af religious 'vitality in the Church of Eng- land, was anxious ta revitalize the dying devotion ai her min- isters and members. Day.after day he prayed for a sign thai would assure him that he hac flot been overlooked by Divine Providence. Now, ta make matters worse, the orange-boat is becalmed between the island of Corsica and Sardinia, in the MVediterr4nean Sea. It is late ,aiternoon, Sunday, June 16, 1833. The restless minister paces the deck and caîls ta God tc send a wind so the ship can gel under way. Turning ta the cap- tain. who is supervising thc shiiting of orange crates to keep the fruit irom spoiling beneath the hot sun, the dis- traught clergyman cries out, "Captain, when do we sail?" "We are more anxiaus ta sali than you, sir," he replies. "A few days n this sun and aur fruit will1 rot." "Isn't there something 1you can do?" New- man asks, still pacing up and down the deck. The captain continues working as he an- swers, "One step at a time, young man; one step at a time. We who sail before the wind have learned ta wait for the wind." Newman senses a mild rebuke in those words and mutters ta himself, "One stcp at a time. I want ta leap, not step." Loaking at the captain,t ihe abouts, "Cail down a wind,' îcaptain!", The captain remains unperturbed. "Arn I so praud as to defy Gad, and demand fthat He loase His winds for 3t y benefit alone?" be replies. re "Pride daes flot ule my will, sir. I cannat choase rny path. es He*-who handles the wmnds and ysends them on their appainteri ýe courses ta do His bidding and ta obey His will, will breathe 9across the waters in His own good time, and cause thern ta -tremble and be alive again- 1, and flot until then do we sail." n The hot, humîd day finally egives way ta the long, sticky nigbt. When the captain camer j *on deck hie sees the clergyman stil walking up and down. Turning ta them, be points beavenward and says, "The estar is ahining again. If a wind rises tonight, the sails can catch the breeze. and we can tchart our course safely ta aur desired baven." Newman asks, * By that one little star?" The captain replies, "One needs the tsun in the day but one littie star is sufficient at nigbt," and retumns ta bis cabin. Newman stares at bis friend. "The star --the star! I've been laaking' for a sun ta be my guide and God bas sent me a star. I wa expecting the brilliant light ai naonday ta reveal God's entirr. tplan for my lufe, but He sent the kindly ligbt ai a star ta show me the way, ane step aI a time." His mooa suddenly changes. "I know now why Gad dropped me bere, ta teachi me this lessan. I see it clearly now. I was blind before ."In' the inspiration ai that moment and the glow ai that experi- ence, Newman wrote bis great- est bymn, In three stanzas, be told ai bis spiritual pilgrimage irom doubt ta iaith, from con- fusion to certainty. The bymin began with these lines: Lead, kindly light! amid the 1 encircling gloom; Lead thou me- on. The night is dark and 1 am far front home; Lead Thou me an! Keep Thou my feet; I do not E ask ta see The distant scene. One step p enough for me.A Twelve years ater hie wrate tbese majestic words, he for- E sooký the Church ai England D 'and united with the Roman Catbolic Cburcb. The honors R that were beaped upon hlm w were climaxed wben Pope Lea sc XIII made hlm a Cardinal in Y' 1879, ending that Newman F called "a period in which I ai lived a lonely, disappointed Iu life." He died in bis eighty- ai ninth year, in Birmingham, ai England, August il, 1890, "a S. great Englishman and a great ai saint."»IM of ~IIrcu/ationl In the saine way that STERLING on silver î signifies a standard of known value, so is this A.B.C. emblem a symbol of FACTS about the circulations of newspapers and periodicals.
