Sinai and Calvary

By Talmadge

A CHRISTIAN is not afraid of Sinai. The thunders do not frighten him. You have seen two thundershowers meet. One cloud from this mountain, and another cloud from that mountain, coming together, and responding to each other, crash to crash, thunder to thunder. And then the clouds break and the torrents pour and they are emptied perhaps into the stream that comes down at your feet.
So in this Bible I see two storms gather, one above Sinai, the other above Calvary, and they respond one to the other—flash to flash, thunder to thunder, boom! boom! Sinai thunders, “The soul that sinneth, it shall die!” Calvary responds, “Save them from going down to the pit, for I have found a ransom.” Sinai says, “Woe! woe!” Calvary answers, “Mercy! mercy!” and then the clouds burst, and empty their treasures into one torrent, and it comes flowing to our feet, in which, if thy soul be plunged, it shall go forth FREE! FREE! —Talmadge.
