THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN. : A TER PAY, JI I.Y 13 “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 her brothers of' lethargic comprehen- REV.

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 love and sympathy and which the gr need today. VOTI 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 feel* not the subtle fragrance of the Illy nor the matchleka purity of the rose. We „BL heroic struggle of one true noblemen against overwhelming odds until at last the Inevitable hap 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 o?vf for her cause Is not yet a popu-, lar one; but, In the Inevitable day of her resurrection, we shall doubtless be among thoae first at the door of the sepulcher, Sager to tell the world that we were nlways sure that this same theory would one day be vindicated. "Then to side with truth Is noble When wrf share her wretcheilcruat, Ere her cause bring fame and profit And 'lls prosperous to be Just:' Than It Is the brave man chooses While the craven stands aside, Doubting, In his abject spirit. Till his Lord Is crucified.” love and gratitude and appreciation now while It will do some good? 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."
