His mother kept all these sayings in her heart. Luke ii. 51.
Among the many sweet-spirited women who are preaching and teaching and living, in demonstration of the Science of Christianity, is one who, by her fitness, has learned to trust and love most tenderly. She reflects the image of the Master; the likeness of Spirit is surely being brought out in her day by day. Longing to know the steps by which she is attaining this height, I asked her if she had any formulated plan of study by which she had prepared herself to cope with the questions that approached her. "No!" said she, "I ponder the Truth, with the consciousness that Christ is the only Teacher, and that God is in him, reconciling the world unto Himself."
Then I remembered how Mary kept all the sayings of Jesus, and pondered them in her heart; and how the child grew and waxed strong in Spirit, filled with wisdom.
