Evil and Good
Homilist
Isaiah 41:15
Behold, I will make you a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth: you shall thresh the mountains, and beat them small…


I. THE FORMS OF GOOD AND EVIL. Evil is a mountain — a big thing occupying immense space, bounding the horizon and darkening the sun. Good often appears as small as a worm.

II. THE CONFLICT OF GOOD AND EVIL. The worm shall "thresh the mountain." Worms in nature are mighty things; they build up islands fair as Eden. Good has made an attack upon evil, and it will thresh its "mountains and beat them small."

(Homilist.)
