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 the eyes of the
students focused only on
the picture of Christ.
