Thy Word is a Light
Illustration★★★★A man in Carnarvonshire, Wales was walking one stormy night on the mountain and he became so cold that he put his lantern under his cloak to get its warmth. The moon was shining dimly, and he thought he could trace his way without the lantern. Suddenly a gust of wind blew aside his cloak, and the light revealed that he stood on the edge of a deep slate quarry. In another instance, he would have plunged over the precipice. He retraced his steps, and you may be sure he did not again cover his lantern.
The point
A man crossing a Welsh mountain at night hid his lantern beneath his cloak to stay warm. The moon was dim, and he nearly walked into a slate quarry before the light revealed the danger.
