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.
