Darkness Quote by Charles Haddon Spurgeon

“the world should ever return to barbarism and darkness, if instead of the constant progress for which we sometimes hope our hopes are crushed, let us be calm and content knowing that “at evening time there shall be light,” that the end of the world’s history will be glorious. No matter how red…” quote by Charles Haddon Spurgeon

““the world should ever return to barbarism and darkness, if instead of the constant progress for which we sometimes hope our hopes are crushed, let us be calm and content knowing that “at evening time there shall be light,” that the end of the world’s history will be glorious. No matter how red with blood, how black with sin the world may become, she will one day be as pure and perfect as when she was created. The day will come when the darkness of this poor planet will break out in the brilliance she once had. The Lord will yet cause his name to be praised “from the rising of the sun to its setting””

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
