One of the first lessons that Jesus inculcated in the minds of His
disciples who were to become His messengers, was that they should be
lights in the midst of the moral and spiritual gloom.
A preacher one dark night lost his way in a corner of a strange
neighborhood. Meeting a farm laborer and asking his way, he
received for answer, “Follow that light and you will not have
gone far before you hear the bells of the next village.”
(1844)
