THE personal ministry of woman forms one of the brightest and most beautiful chapters in the history of the human life of our dear Lord. Her hands wrought for him, all the way along his course, the most sacred and tender offices of love. She was faithful when all others had fled. We read of certain women who stood by his cross and were early at his sepulchre, that they had followed him all the way from Galilee, ministering unto him. And so women may yet follow Christ and minister to him. He still comes to our doors for bread. He asks yet for a cup of cold water at the hands of love. Gentle ...

In my earlier “Eyewitness” books, I used fictitious people who may have witnessed God’s work. ...
