Rector W. B. Salmon gave an apt tho homely illustration of the
harm done by the low level on which some Christians live, by
saying: “I was traveling by night in a London train, trying to
read some small books, and a man opposite leaned across to me.
It is not good for the eyes,’ he said, ‘to read by such a bad
light,’ and to that I assented. But when I looked up the light
was not a bad one at all. There was a good lamp, well trimmed,
giving a good light, only the reflector was wrong--broken and
dull. We were blaming the light when the fault lay with the
reflector.” (Text.)
