I should be glad to see the ever-burning lamp swung in our churches and in every home—symbol of the Aspiring Flame of the soul and the light which continually streams from the Father, who covereth himself with light as with a garment.—Katherine B. Caine, Light on the Hidden Way, 1886, Ticknor and Company, Boston, 28
