“ANTE-MOR. TEM A ppreciation
By Rev. E. D. ELLENWOOD,
Pastor Universalist Church
O XC.of the moat beadtlfu! and
ajgnlficipl Incidents, recorded in
the life of Jesus of Nazareth,
[ and sa .incident most pregnant with
| 'ntrsnlMt ,faf His fdltdwdrs In., every
I century since that time, was the occa-
f *P>n of His annolntfng by the woman
[ at Bethany. The narrative as pre-
* served for us by the apostles Is want-
? ins In literary adornhient, but luminous
u Ith 1 lls revelation of the' humanity of
* our Lord and the age-long need of the
wearraniw wriaitiy *- -
Itecllnlng at the table with Jesus, In
th<f home of Slnton;. were a number of
(lie rips* admirers and followers' of
their Master—His avowed disciples.
Suddenly their conversation was Inter
rupted by the entra-c j of an uninvited
(•nest. Unheeding e Indignant pro
testations of Ills com anions, the wo
man who Tmrt' rfct-red 'thus unbidden,
passed directly to the side of the couch
upon which the Master reclined at
table, liccoralhg to the oriental cus
tom. and, breaking the seal of a email
vase of costly perfumed oil which she
(nriied, she poured Its soothing, fra
grant contcngB upon the head so soon
to receive (he full token of a world's
"ingratitude, the crown of thorns. •
The delightful and refreshing per
fume which Immediately filled the air
was accompanied by the angry out
break of criticism and condemnation
from the gathered disciples. Indig
nantly they declared as criminally
wasteful this employment of the ilre-
clous ointment, which, they contended,
might have been sold for a goodly sunt
and thus have been judiciously, used
for the relief of the poor.
. Very, encouraging, Indeed, must have
been this sudden swelling of the ben
evolentImpulse on the part of His dis
ciples, hod not the keen spiritual In
sight, of Jesus enabled Him . to recog
nize at‘onc4 the' true squl condition-to
which It owed Its origin. These mert
were not yet baptized with the spirit of
the Christ. This' whs" to come later,
hut at present they were not greatly
concerned about the condition of the
poor, nor the relief which the sale of
(lie ointment plight have effected. They
were merely exceedingly .watchful poli
ticians, ever-on, the'alert to forestall
the efforts of aoy one whom they had
any occasion to fancy might later fig
ure In, the role of a usurper of their
ow n positions In the affections and the
close confidence of tlielr Lord.
But hero was one. who, with the
quicker spiritual intuition of her sex,
had been able to cleave, the Veil of
symbolism In wayside story and moun
tain sermon, and to come at once to
the possession of the living vital truth,
In the teachings of the Master;, which

and sympathy and appreciation
i the great redeemers or the world
today. Right here la where sre
alon and shortened vlalop had signally
failed to grasp.
That this loving act of sacrifice and
devotion by which she sought to voice
her appreciation and her gratitude was
not lost In Its effect upon Jesus Is evi
denced by the loving, but saddened,
Words vitli which lie reproved the
complainings of His Jealous disciples—
"Let her alone, why trouble-ye-her;
she bath wrought p.. good \yojk upon
me." It was as manna to his fainting
soul! Already the clouds were gather
ing. The opposition of His avowed en
emies grew more and more pronounced.
The spiritual short-sightedness of His
followers and supporters was dally
mors apparent. And whenever for a
meat the clouds seemed to lift, there
loomed, just ahead, the sinister outline
of an upraised waiting gibbet. Afid.
although He knew that, when the final
act In the world's greatest tragedy
should have been played through tb
its awful. end, that there should be
no dfhrth of genuine human sympathy
then—that, loving hands should sorrow
fully take dowp His maimed body from
the place of Its humiliation and .torture
and should lovingly bear it away to Ita
resting place In the borrowed tomb-
vet this was not that for which Hie
Human heart craved. The simple act
of this woman of Bethnfiy, evidencing
her love and appreciation, and coming
as (t did at this time of His great spir
itual Peed, mkanrfar more to Him than
would a post-mortem residence In the
tomb of the w-orkt’a greatest Pharaoh!
It Is an ante-ptorlein ezprea

are so Often blind and stupid, almost
beyond belief.
The tears of genuine sorrow fall un
checked as we stand beside the bier of
one whom we have truly loved and
honored, could’ he but have known It.
But, atae! our words of appreciation
tor his many excellent qualities, fall
back upon us, dull and useless things,
and our protestations of love and fealty
fall upon unheeding ears. They are
too much like the. wealth of I '
and costly flowers with which ..
hide from view the caskets which con
tain only (he bodies of our loved ones,
while thoee same flowers, If judiciously
distributed, might have served to very
perceptibly 'brighten the pathway nt
him whose discarded earthly tenement

pens, and, as he goes down Vneath the
black waters of hi* disappointment and
defeat, we gather, around-and tell eaoh
other what a fine fellow he was and
how very sorry we all are, when per
haps jusf a single friendly Word of en
couragement and counsel might have
helped him to float his bark In safety
to a friendly shore.
We,see truth nailed to the cross of
bigotry and. superstition,-yet we hold

her resurrection, we shall doubtless be

"Then to side with truth Is noble
When wrf share her wretcheilcruat,

We are npt here for long. Life’s
golden sunny meriting of labor and of
song anti Its afternoon of rest and
retrospection are soon spent, and, ere
long, "the shadows lengthen across the
level landscape of oar mortal life." Let
us scatter our flowers as we go, for
we are told that we shall pot pais this
