[Manna - November 16]
She hath done what she could. Mark 14:8
IT is not our privilege to come into personal contact
with our dear Redeemer, but it is our privilege to
anoint the Lord's "brethren" with the sweet perfume
of love, sympathy, joy and peace, and the more costly
this may be as respects our self-denials, the more
precious it will be in the estimation of our Elder
Brother, who declared that in proportion as we do or
do not unto His brethren, we do or do not unto Him.
....Our alabaster boxes are our hearts, which should
be full of the richest and sweetest perfumes of good
wishes, kindness and love toward all, but especially
toward the Christ—toward the Head, our Lord Jesus,
and toward all the members of His body, the church;
and especially on our part toward the feet members
who are now with us, and on whom we now have the
privilege of pouring out the sweet odors of love and
devotion in the name of the Lord, because we are His. Z. '99-78; Z. '00-378; R2448:5; R2744:3
