Ground to Powder.

By M'Laren

“I REMEMBER away up in a lonely Highland valley, where, beneath a tall black cliff; all weather-worn and cracked and seamed, there lies at the foot, resting on the green sward that creeps round its base, a huge rock, that has fallen from the face of the precipice.
“A shepherd was passing beneath it; and suddenly, when the finger of God’s will touched it, and rent it from its ancient bed in the everlasting rock, it came down, leaping and bounding from pinnacle to pinnacle, and it fell; and the man that was beneath it is there now! ‘ground to powder.’
“Ah, my brethren, that is not my illustration; that is Christ’s. Therefore I say to you, since all that stand against him shall become ‘as the chaff, of the summer threshing-floors,’ and be swept utterly away, make him the foundation on which you build; and when the storm sweeps away every ‘refuge of lies,’ you will be safe and serene, builded upon the Rock of Ages.”—M'Laren.
