After giving us a vivid picture
of the woman anointing the feet
of Christ, Mr Black brought out
the thought that the influence of
a good deed, or the impression of
an evil deed remain with the
doer for a long time. In fact it
is said that one seldom completely gets over the effect of an evil
deed. On the other hand we never
get away from the good done by
a good deed. Here the woman
had to make an effort to reach
the Lord, and it meant a sacrifice.
She not only ran the risk of being
put out of the house, for she was
called a "sinner," but she gave
the most costly thing she had, to
anoint the feet of Christ.
It was her best. Why not
give our best to Christ, whatever
that is?

Something seemed lacking in the

or possibly the omission of the debate

a better result at our next program.
