The Lights of the Sanctuary Ever Burning
1 Samuel 3:8
And the LORD called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for you did call me…


A blacksmith can do nothing when his fire is out, and in this respect he is the type of a minister If all the lights in the outside world are quenched the lamps that burn in the sanctuary ought still to remain undimmed; for that fire no curfew must ever be rung

( C. H. Spurgeon.)
