On the television program, Antique Roadshow, January, 2000, a man from Birmingham, Alabama, who had once served as a waiter, brought a restaurant menu signed by the Duke of Windsor and his wife, the former Mrs. Wallis Warfield Simpson. You will remember that the duke had been in line to be the king of England, King Edward VIII, but had abdicated the throne to marry this twice-
divorced woman from Baltimore. The fact that these two prominent people had signed this menu back in the 1950s made this simple piece of paper worth several thousand dollars.
On the same show, a woman brought a miniature wooden chest which had been used to hold tools in her relative's basement. The chest was inscribed with the date, about 1790, and also the initials of the owner. This precise identification caused this simple little piece of furniture to be valued at over 50,000 dollars.
The Holy Spirit which was given to the Christians at Samaria was an extremely valuable asset. In 2 Corinthians, chapter 1, Saint Paul says that the Spirit has put his mark and seal upon us, a gift of inestimable value.
