Mary: The Queen of the House of David and Mother of Jesus - The Story of Her Life

By Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, D.D. I have been asked to open the front door of this book. But I must not keep you standing too long on the threshold. The picture-gallery, the banqueting hall and the throne-room are inside. All the fascinations of romance are, by the able author, thrown around the facts of Marys life. Much-abused tradition is also called in for splendid service. The pen that the author wields is experienced, graceful, captivating, and multipotent. As perhaps no other book that was ever written, this one will show us woman as standing at the head of the world. It demonstrates in the life of Mary what woman was and what woman may be. Womans position in the world is higher than mans; and although she has often been denied the right of suffrage, she always does vote and always will voteby her influence; and her chief desire ought to be that she should have grace rightly to rule in the dominion which she has already won. She has no equal as a comforter of the sick.[viii] What land, what street, what house has not felt the smitings of disease? Tens of thousands of sick beds! What shall we do with them? Shall man, with his rough hand, and heavy foot, and impatient bearing, minister? No; he cannot soothe the pain. He can not quiet the nerves. He knows not where to set the light. His hand is not steady enough to pour out the drops. He is not wakeful enough to be watcher. You have known men who have despised women, but the moment disease fell upon them, they did not send for their friends at the bank or their worldly associates. Their first cry was, Take me to my wife. The dissipated young man at the college scoffs at the idea of being under home influence; but at the first blast of typhoid fever on his cheek he says, Where is mother? I think one of the most pathetic passages in all the Bible is the description of the lad who went out to the harvest fields of Shunem and got sunstruck; throwing his hands on his temples, and crying out, Oh, my head! my head! and they said, Carry him to his mother. And the record is He sat on her knees till noon and then died. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
