What those poor people need is not daz- zling displays, but " the benefits of knowledge and the blessings of religion, " which would be a sort of spiritual aurora, lighting up, not only the heavens abov...e, but their humble homes on earth. These three little " lamps " faith, love, and hope would do more to brighten their poor lives than all the stars in the Arctic sky.
