skirt was particularly pretty and
graceful, hanging in the softest OF

The Devoted Mary and the Avariciou'

The central feature OF this supper
is the amounting OF Jesus by the de-
voted Mary. The action was not I'M
common In eastern lands, where the
heat is great and the feet exposed to
IL by sandals suffer from dryness and
scorching The motive Of Mary was
her love for Jesusu. Love, not only
for what she had learned from him.
but for what he had done for her
brother Lazarus, whom he raised from
the dead. All Of which comes out the
stronger in contrast with the fanati-
cism and avarice of Judas, why was
not this ointment sold for three hun
dren pense. and given TO the poor?"
A specimen this OF the way worldly
people depreciate actions done for the
love Of God only, and especially Civ
ing money for Christ's cause. Judas
said this, not because "he cared for
the poor" John says. but because he
was thief and had the bag and bare
what was put therein" He was think
ing of himself and not the poor.
