Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History of Woman's Missionary Union, Pee Dee Baptist Association: 1886-1986
Much is said in the sacred scriptures, respecting the benevolent works of pious, devoted Christian women. They were last at the Cross, and first at the Tomb of the dear Redeemer. Whilst He went about doing good, preaching His own everlasting gospel, and performing miracles of great mercy, Women often ministered to His Necessities. In the 12th chapter of John's gospel, we read, that they made Him a supper; and Martha served and Mary took a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. And when Judas enquired, Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor, the Savior replied, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. For the poor always ye have with you, but me ye have not always.
