The Most Honored Guest

-

When Queen Victoria reigned in England, she would occasionally

visit some of the humble cottages of her subjects.

One time she entered the home of a widow and stayed to

enjoy a brief period of Christian fellowship. Later on, the

poor woman was taunted by her worldly neighbours.

"Granny," they said, "who's the most honored guest you've

ever entertained in your home?" They expected her to say it

was Jesus, for despite their constant ridicule of her Christian

witness, they recognized her deep spirituality. But to their

suprise she answered, "The most honered guest I've entertained

is her Majesty, the queen." "Did you say the queen?

Ah, we caught you this time! How about this Jesus you're

always talking about? Isn't he your most honored guest?"

Her answer was definite "No, indeed! He's not a

guest. He lives here!" Her hecklers were put to silence.

THE ANVIL AND THE HAMMERS

-

I stood one evening by the blacksmith's door

and heard the anvil ring the vesper chime,

And looking in, I saw upon the floor

old hammers worn with years of beating time.

"How many anvils have you had," said I,

"to wear and beat those hammers so?"

-

"Just one," the blacksmith said, with a twinkling eye,

"The anvil wears the hammers out, you know."

-

And so I thought, the Anvil of God's Word,

for ages skeptics' blows have beat upon.

And thought the sound of clanging blows is heard,

The anvil is unharmed, the hammers gone.
