Elder G w Baker of Savoy preached
from the text: Ps. l10, 105 Thy word
is lamp unto my feet and light unto my
path" He compared the light of the Cos

great difficulty with us. instead of following
the light we get between the light and the
track which leads to eternal life, and thus
by obstructing the light OF the gospel we
are led to eternal death. Noah. in building
the ark. in following the directions of God
in the minutcst particulars, was striking
example of following the light which had
been given HIM The word Of God Is a
lamp unto the feet of all his children We
backslide because we neglect to work.
