MORE LIGHT WANTED.
Reading edition
Another of Mr. Lincoln's stories was this:
A traveler on the frontier lost his way one stormy night. It was a terrible thunder storm. He floundered along until his horse played out. He could see only when the flashes of lightning came. The peals of thunder, however, were proportionately strong and frightening. One roar and all around him seemed crashing; he fell on his knees. He was not much given to praying so his prayer was short:
"O, Lord, if it's all the same to you, give us a little more light and a little less noise."
