The Red Tinge

Thursday. Exod. 35: 20-29.

It’s the red mark of the life upon a gift that tells its worth. Here comes a poor man with some goat’s hair. He comes shyly up and slips quickly away. Here comes a man with several big pieces of gold and. puts them on top, and walks away slowly, so folks can see. And the unseen Eye looking says, “This poor man gave most, for the red tinge of sacrifice is on the gift.” It’s the gift like the Master’s that does the Master’s work.
