Dart Test...
A young lady named
Sally,
relates an experience she had in a seminary class, given by her teacher,
Dr. Smith.
She says that
Dr. Smith
was
known for his elaborate object lessons.
One particular day,
Sally
walked into the seminary and knew they were in for a fun day.
On the wall was a big target and on a nearby table were many darts.
Dr.
Smith
told the students to draw a
picture of someone that they disliked or someone who had made them angry,
and he would allow them to throw darts at the person's picture.
Sally's
friend drew a picture of who had
stolen her boyfriend.
Another friend drew a picture of his
little brother.
Sally
drew a picture of a former
friend,
putting a great deal of detail into her drawing, even drawing pimples on
the face.
Sally
was pleased with the overall effect she had achieved.
The class lined up and began throwing darts. Some of the students threw
their darts with
such force that their targets were
ripping apart.
Sally
looked forward to her turn, and! was filled
with disappointment when
Dr. Smith,
because of time limits, asked the students to return to their seats. As
Sally
sat thinking about how angry she was because she didn't have a chance to
throw any darts at her target.
Dr. Smith
began
removing the target from the wall.
Underneath the target
was a
picture of
Jesus.
A hush fell over the room as each student viewed the mangled picture of
Jesus;
holes !
and jagged
marks
covered His face and His eyes were pierced.
Dr. Smithsaid
only these words... "Inasmuch
as ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it
unto Me."
Matthew 25:40.
