I. THESE LIGHTS ARE ALL GOD'S SERVANTS.

II. THE MISTAKES MAN'S EYE MAKES IN JUDGING THE WORKS OF GOD. We "limit the Holy One of Israel." What a small world man's eye would make of God's creation!

III. THE DEEPEST HUMILITY IS THE TRUEST WISDOM. The most difficult discovery for man to make in the world is to find out his own littleness.

VI. THE GREAT SIN OF IDOL WORSHIP.

(J. P. Millar.)
