The Deafness of Sinners
Psalm 58:4
Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: they are like the deaf adder that stops her ear;


We do not know what revelations have been made. We do not know but the air is full of messengers and messages. If a million bands were playing near a man and he was stone deaf, he would not hear the music. A blind man might stand amidst uncounted myriads of flowers on the Grand Prairie in Illinois, and not know that there was a flower there. And you may be utterly blind and deaf to the messengers and messages of the higher life, because you are not in that state of development by which you may perceive them.

(Henry Ward Beecher.)
