"Jesus said, Neither do men light a candle and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick, and it giveth light unto all that are in the house."
These words are selected from among many graphic expressions of the Master because the issues of this hour find a special illustration in this particular phrase. The words are a direct appeal to us, and the idea embodied in them can be realized by all Christian Scientists.
Let us couple these words of our Master with the following: "I must preach the kingdom of God to other cities also, for therefore am I sent." Jesus saw the need of preaching the kingdom of God not only in Capernaum, but in other cities. Taken together, these two declarations carry to us the lessons of the hour as to the propagation and diffusion of Christian Science.
