One day a minister of the gospel was sitting in the office of a superintendent of a large abattoir, when a large goat came in and rubbed his head against the superintendent, "What is the meaning of that?" asked the minister. He replied, "Large flocks of sheep are often delivered to the slaughter-houses, and in order to get them easily into the place of death, Judas, the goat, is always on hand, and never fails to trot and lead them to the gate which leads to the gangway that takes them to the slaughter." Beware of the Devil's Goats. They are working overtime. Walk in the narrow path and with the Good Shepherd. He slays the devouring beast seeking to destroy the sheep bearing his name. Don't tramp with sinners; stand alone. Stand alone in God's strength, and you stand forever. Now take one of the blocks, stand it up endways; put a Bible on each side of it, and you will notice it is too far away from the other blocks to be hurt by them, and so stands securely, and can never be overthrown. =22 SHINING TRUTH OBJECTS: An Assortment of Candles Teaching a Number of Lessons= In this chapter you will find a few brief candle-light lessons which you can use when you wish to give a series of short talks of seven minutes. They can be arranged into one whole sermon if so desired. It is a cluster of shining truth candles, arrange them as you like. =THE TEN COMMANDMENTS= Arrange ten candles in a straight line. Select blue candles, because they are called "Blue Laws," but show that the light is white because it is night, and they have been shedding light for the whole dark world. The universal laws of the nations are taken from these great legal lights. They are God's lights, because they came from God, and if the world ever extinguishes them the world will be lost in hopeless darkness forever. Produce two yellow candles which stand for the two commandments Christ gave which contain the truth of all the Ten Commandments. This is how the blue laws turn to gold. =THE HIDDEN LIGHT= Produce a candle from a box in the corner. This represents a hidden light which does not shine even "in its own corner." It is a light hidden under a bushel. Many a soul has fine powers to serve the world for Jesus, but they are hidden in the dark box of disuse, and are worthless in the black world. They have buried the talent. Take it out of the box, light it, and place it on top of the box, and say, "Henceforth thou shalt be as a city set on a hill whose business it is just to shine." =THE VANITY FAIR CIRCLE=
