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. Smith said only these words... " In as much as ye have done it
unto the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto Me ."
Matthew 25:40.
No other words were necessary; the tears filled eyes of the students
focused only on the picture of Christ.
