Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour,
wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing,
but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are
the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be
hid. Let your light so shine before men, that they
may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in
heaven.-ST. MATT. v. 13, 14, 16
