The DART Test
> A young lady named Sally, relates an
experience she had in a
>seminary class, given by her teacher, Dr. Smith. She says 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 girlfriend drew a picture of a girl 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 tear-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. If you
>aren't ashamed to do this, please follow the directions. Jesus said,
>"If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you, before My
Father."
