Signs of the Times

with contributions from John Bevan, A Correspondent, Robert A. Colpitts

[Rev. John Bevan, M.A., in the Christian World, London, England]

There is on Heligoland a lighthouse which used to be lighted by an oil lamp of ten thousand candle power. This lamp was replaced by an arc lamp of a million candle power. It was later found that when the weather was very foggy the powerful electric light could not be seen nearly so far as the oil lamp had been visible. . . .

So shining through fog is rather a question of the quality of light than of its power. Everything depends on the right kind of rays being there. How interesting to find that might is not always right, and that the comparatively weak can be more effective than the mighty! . . .
