Excerpt from Discourses, Doctrinal and Practical

Christians are denominated the light of the world because their lives are illustrations of the doctrines of revelation and the precepts of the divine law.

In them as in a glass, the world may see how the truths and precepts of the gospel are understood, and what fruits they produce. It is indeed to be lamented that in too many instances it is hardly possible to per ceive any difference between the conduct of professed believers and men of the world. Did we not know some to be members of the visible church we should never from their conversation suspect them to be Christians. Such persons can hardly be considered lights in the world - much less safe lights. It is cer tainly dangerous to follow them. Men ofthe world will be more ready to embrace their errors than to imitate their Virtues. They do not clearly point out. The way to heaven. Many are misled by them, who desire an excuse for a life of transgression. Among real Christians there is a great diversity of character.
