There was a white plant growing by the entrance to a coal-mine.
One of the miners took a handful of the coal-dust and threw it
on the leaves, but not a particle adhered. The plant was covered
with a wonderful enamel on which nothing could leave a stain.
It is not the Master’s plan for us that we should be taken out of the
sinful world, to live our life where no evil can touch us. But God, who
can make a little plant so that no dust can stain it, can by His grace
also make our lives impervious to sin’s defiling.
