The Melted Mountain.

An old warrior, lying at the point of death, said to the missionary who stood at his side:
“O, I have been in great trouble this morning, but I am happy now. I saw an immense mountain, with precipitous sides, up which I endeavored to climb; but when I had attained a considerable length; I lost my hold and fell to the bottom. Exhausted with perplexity and fatigue, I went to a distance and sat down to weep, and while weeping, I saw a drop of blood fall on that mountain, and in a moment it was dissolved.”
“This was certainly a strange sight,” remarked the missionary; “what construction did you put upon it?”
The dying chieftain seemed astonished at the missionary's question, and replied:
“That mountain was my sins, and the drop which fell upon it was one drop of the precious blood of Jesus, by which the mountain of my guilt may be melted away.”
How striking is this illustration of the power of Christ's blood! One drop dissolves the mountain of a sinner's guilt! O blessed, efficacious blood! May it fall on my sins, and on my reader's sins, and melt them all away!
Reader, does your guilt rise like a mountain? Go to Christ. Trust in him! his blood will dissolve it all, and enable you to sing:
“O Lord, what heavenly wonders dwell In thine atoning blood! By this are sinners saved from hell, And rebels brought to God.”
