Darker it is, the better the light shines

4. What if there wasn’t a real Christmas? If there had not been a real Christmas, well, things wouldn’t be the way they are tonight. If there wasn’t a Christmas, there wouldn’t have been no salvation. And now that we’re facing Christmas, again, it’s too bad that we have changed it, the real meaning of it, being the birth of Jesus, until just, well, it look like that Santa Claus has taken the place of Christ in Christmas, and some fiction of a Kriss Kringle coming down a chimney, with a sack of toys on his back, that visits the whole world in one night. And I don’t know what you think about it, it’s all right if you want to tell your children that; but I was taught, thought the Scripture said, “Thou shalt not lie.” And then someday they’re going to ask you, “Is this Jesus the same thing that Santa Claus is?” when
they find out there’s no Santa Claus. So, I best think it’s best, myself. That might not be your idea. I’m not telling you how to raise your children. But I^If they catch you lying on that, then they’re going to say someday that maybe this Other is a lie, also. So just tell them
the truth, straight truth, and then they’ll know how to, what you mean. So, no matter how bad the outside looks, and what they’re doing out there, that should not bother us from making Christmas what it should be. See?

5. I think that the light shines the best in the darkness. Darker it is, the better the light shines, sometimes just a small light. Where there’s much light, it’s not noticed. But the darker it gets, that small light will shine that much stronger. And remember that there’s no darkness can exist in the presence of light. Light is so much more powerful than darkness, until it cannot stand in its presence. Darkness cannot stand when the sun starts to shine, because the sun is so much greater, the sunlight, that it just presses the darkness out, and it’s no more.
