One day, very shortly before our dear Lord was crucified, He was teaching in God's Temple at Jerusalem and preaching the gospel. He had been warning the people against the scribes, who loved to seem very good and to be thought well of, who chose the highest seats in the synagogues and the chief rooms at feasts, who made long prayers for a show, and who oppressed poor widows and took away their houses. The Lord looked straight into people's hearts, and He could not bear for the scribes to seem very good outside and to be very wicked inside! Jesus was sitting near the treasury, which was the chest or receptacle in which the people put their offerings of money for God's service. After He had been speaking about those scribes that oppressed the widows, He raised His eyes and saw the people casting their gifts into the treasury; and many that were rich cast in much. [Illustration: JUST THEN A POOR WIDOW DREW NEAR.] And just then a poor widow drew near, and she put in two mites, which make a farthing. Jesus saw it all! He could see into her empty pocket; He knew all about it! Then He called His disciples to Him and said to them, "This poor widow has cast more in than all the others who have cast into the treasury: for they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living!" There is another widow we read of, who gave all her living to God! The account is in 1 Kings xvii. God sent the prophet Elijah to her in a time of famine. When he got to where the widow lived, he found her gathering a few sticks to make a fire to bake the last bit of bread that she had! So Elijah called to her to fetch him a little water. He was nearly dying of thirst, and as she ran to fetch it, he begged her also to bring him a morsel of bread too. But she told him that she only had a tiny bit of meal left in the barrel, and a little oil in a cruse, and this she was going to make into a little cake for her and her son, and when they had eaten that, she said, they must die! But Elijah said some words like these to her: "Fear not . . . make me a little cake first, and bring it to me . . . for thus saith the Lord God of Israel, You shall always find a little meal in the barrel, and a little oil in the cruse as long as the famine lasts!" And she believed God's promise, and went and did as Elijah had said; and she and Elijah and her son had enough to eat for many days. XV. "Do this in Remembrance of Me" Very soon after this, just before the Feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that the hour had come that He was to die, and to go back to His Father, He wished to do one last act of love to His disciples, because "He loved them to the uttermost." And supper being ended, Jesus rose up and taking a towel He poured water into a basin, and began to wash the feet of His disciples. This astonished them very much, and when it came to Peter's turn, he said, "Lord, dost Thou wash my feet?"
