pleasantly or easily as those who have fully yielded to Him. This one great decision to leave all oth er decisions to Him has taken from them the consequent tension and pressure that seems the com mon lot of those going their own way. Our Lord’s final verdict in all sacrifices made on His behalf surely settles it for us. “She hath done what she could.” Could any praise be higher than this? From the lips of Him who never lied or exaggerated, these words to Mary brought a touch of heaven into her heart. In these days when our Lord is rejected by the masses, He is be ing neglected by His own. He gets the end of everything from many of us. “ I f I have time, I ’ll read the Word, go to prayer, go to the service, do some Christian work.” He gets the scraps from our table o f service. He is often the last to benefit from our gen erosity and He is offered that which dare not be offered in other circles; yet when someone makes a truly sacrificial gift, the cry „ springs from many lips, “ To what purpose is this waste?” I f you study carefully the life of Christ recorded in the New Testament, you will notice not many kind things happened to Him, but this act of Mary was just about the most beautiful thing given to Him in His whole life on earth. What have you done with Him ? What are you doing for Him? Does He really enjoy first place in your life? Is He really Lord of our lives or are we just playing the game of being Christians? The price He asks is high; the prize He offers is far higher! Will you say “ To what purpose is this waste?” or give Him all you have, all the time, and wait on in faith until the day you see Him and hear Him say to you, “ He [or she] hath done what he could.” H Rev. Stanley Collins is Executive Di rector of Forest Home Christian Con ference Center.
