John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. There is a little church on a lonely hill-side where they had neither gas nor lamps, and yet on darkest nights they hold Divine service. Each worshipper, coming a great distance from village or moorland home, brings with him a taper and lights it from the one supplied and carried by the minister of the little church. The building is thronged, and the scene is said to be "most brilliant!" Let each one of our lives be but a little taper — lighted from the life of Christ, and carrying His flame — and we shall help to fill this great temple of human need and human sin with the light of the knowledge of the glory of God. The life of Christ will be the new sunshine of the world. "Men shall be blessed in Him; all nations shall call Him blessed"; universal man shall receive "God's Living Light." (D. Thomas, D. D.)
