Homilist Psalm 36:9 For with you is the fountain of life: in your light shall we see light. Life and light are the greatest blessings of which we have any conception. All feel life to be valuable. What would life be without light? A world without light would be cold, dark and monotonous. God is the source of both. I. HE IS THE SOURCE OF BEING. "Fountain of life." The word fountain suggests — 1. Causation. 2. Plenitude. 3. Activity. II. HE IS THE SOURCE OF WELL-BEING. He is the light — the blessedness of being. His revealed character is the light of the soul. Two things are necessary to make light a blessing — 1. A healthy visual faculty. If the eye of the soul is not sound, light may be a pain, a curse. 2. Beautiful objects of vision. If the eye is made to look upon the monstrous, and the horrific, light will be a bane. (Homilist.)
