One Little Candle was the second literary journal published by Gardner-Webb College from 1969 to 1972. It contained written contributions like poetry, short stories, and plays from students, faculty, and members of the community. Later issues included poetry from students at West Cleveland Junior High School. One issue includes winning contributions to a contest funded by the North Carolina Arts Council.
In 1973, One Little Candle was re-branded as Reflections.
