    One Touch of the Master! Empty One Touch of the Master!

    It was battered and scarred and the auctioneer thought it hardly worth
    his while to waste much time on the old violin, so he held it up with a smile.
    “What am I bid for this old violin? Who’ll start the bidding for me? A pound, a
    pound, who’ll make it two? Two pounds, and who’ll make it three? Three pounds
    once, three pounds twice, going for three,” but no; from the back of the room a
    grey- haired man came forward and picked up the bow. Then sweeping the dust from
    the old violin, and tightening up all the strings, he played a melody pure and
    sweet, as sweet as the angels sing. The music ceased and the auctioneer, with a
    voice that was quiet and low, said, “What am I bid for the old violin?” and he
    held it up with the bow. “A thousand pounds, and who’ll make it two? Two
    thousand, and who’ll make it three? Three thousand once, three thousand twice,
    going, and gone,” said he. The people cheered, but some of them said, “We do not
    quite understand. What changed its worth?” Then came the reply, “The touch of
    the Master’s hand.” And many a man with his life out of tune, battered and
    scarred with sin, is auctioned cheap to a thoughtless crowd, much like the old
    violin. A mess of pottage, a glass of wine, a game, and he shuffles along: going
    once, going twice, he’s going and almost gone. But the Master comes, and the
    thoughtless crowd never can quite understand, the worth of the soul, and the
    change that’s wrought, by the touch of the Master’s hand    .’
