These lines by George McGregor, "The Valley of the Shadow" seem appropriate to this'occasion: I entered the Valley of Shadow The path seemed open that way And naught could I do but to follow Where darkness lay deepest that day. I found it the valley of sorrow, Scarce a ray through the darkness shone, It was night in the Valley of Shadow And there I was walking alone. And ohl in the valley of sorrow, How dreary the way seemed, and long, And often I wished for the morrow To bring me the sunshine and song. Then somehow my heart seemed to borrow That sweet, loving message of cheer: "Though I walk through the Valley of Shadow, Yet need I have nothing to fear". And loi through the Valley of Shadow Came One who made day of the night, And my heart knew the gladness and glow Of walking with Him in the light. With Him in the valley of sorrow All fear of the evil has gone; 'Tis light in the Valley of Shadow For I am not walking alone.
