BETTER THAN A LIGHT

It was Christmas Eve 1946, King George the Sixth, reined over Great Britain. They had been bombed; they were broke and barren of any hope of the future. That Christmas Eve night he got on the radio to make an address to his nation. These were that last known words he spoke to his nation before his death...

"I said to the man at the gate of the future, 'Get me a light that I might walk safely into the unknown.' He said to me, 'Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God, and it will be better than the light and safer than the unknown.'"
