When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, "Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me."
Matthew xxvi. 10.
The good work which Mary wrought upon Jesus at Bethany, by anointing him for his burial, is not the only one which shall live forever. The everlasting memorial of her simple faith, kept alive and tenderly cherished in a wicked world, is a promise that no act of duty shall ever be forgotten before God, or ever lose its power to do good.
