Meaning behind the trade mark of gramophone…………

 

The trade mark on a gramophone record produced by his Master's Voice Gramophone Company depicts a dog sitting before an outmoded gramophone, enraptured by the voice reproduced by it. A great musician who composed songs and sang then himself had a dog as his constant companion. When he suddenly died one day, the dog, unable to hear the master's voice, languished in grief and would not eat any food for days together. No one could coax the dog to shake off its sorrow and eat. At last someone took a record of one of the departed musician's songs and played it on the gramophone. At once the dog came running and listened with rapt attention to its master's voice. It shook its tail to express its joy, This made the Gramophone Company adopt the emblem now so well known all over the world. When you pass through pains and perils, unable to hear the voice of God, and deprived of his guidance, you become very much dejected. Be not dismayed! The Lord speaks to you in a still small voice to let you know that He is still with you. He knows the pressures you had to pass through, but He will make use of you. You will hear Him speak so in the depths of your hearts. "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world" (1 John 4:4).
