Unveiling Glimpses of Life with Lilias Trotter

“If every fraction of a second tells in the film in the camera, while ‘unveiled’ it faces the light,
must not something of the same unseen work go on upon our spirits in every moment of unveiling before the Lord?
When Moses went in before the Lord to speak with Him, he took the veil off.
Bare absolute contact with God’s Presence–if our times alone with Him were but that all the time, they would be mighty in their outcome.”

"Many things begin with seeing in this world of ours.
The colour pages and the letterpress are with one and the same intent - to make you see...
So we ask you to come and look..."
- I. Lilias Trotter, "Between the Desert and the Sea".
