The Purity of Example the Primary Care of the Christian
A. Maclaren, D. D. Matthew 5:14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. The lighthouse-keeper takes no pains that the ships tossing away out at sea may behold the beam that shines from his lamp, but all that he does is to feed and tend it. That is all you and I have to do — tend the light, and do not like cowards cover it up. Modestly but yet bravely carry out your Christianity, and men will see it. Do not be as a dark lantern, burning with the shades down and illuminating nothing and nobody. (A. Maclaren, D. D.) Parallel Verses KJV: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. WEB: You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can't be hidden.
