Sin’s Touch Upon All Creation

Metals and stones die, as well as humanity. San Francisco wanted the Liberty Bell at its great celebration; but a distinguished metallurgist tells us that it has an organic disease, and it is unsafe to move it from its present resting-place in Independence Hall. He declares that the bell requires the nicest nursing and the most tranquil existence, to prevent its destruction. That is true of everything that has been touched by sin. Sometime it will be seen in the light of the better day, that everything in earth has been thus affected by sin, that there are no absolutely normal conditions, that perverted law throughout earth's dominion has brought death, and death has touched everything, from metal to man.
