A young lady named Sally, relates an experience she had in
a seminary class, given by her teacher, Dr. Smith. She says
that Dr. Smithwas 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. Smithtold 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... "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.

This is an easy test; you score 100 or zero. It's your choice.
