TEXBOOK— of Convicted Consciences-Charles Spurgeon

In certain places on alpine summits the way is peculiarly dangerous on account of the frequent falling of avalanches, and the traveler walks in dread of instant destruction. Samuel rogers puts it thus : — ” then my guide lowering his voice addressed me : ‘ through this gap on and say nothing ; lest a word, a breath, inking down the winter’s snow, enough to whelm an army.” thus when alarmed by an awakened conscience men walk in fear from hour to hour, trembling self a thought or word of sin should bring down upon them the impending wrath of god. Thrice happy is he who has traversed that awful gap of terror and now breathes freely because sin is pardoned, and therefore every apprehension is removed.
