zeal, that brings you into connection with Christ, bearing His yoke,
lifting His burdens? Where are the gold, the silver, and the precious
stones which you have laid upon the foundation stone, which the fires
of the last day cannot consume, because they are imperishable?—

Jesus Knows Women’s Burdens—He who gave back to the
widow her only son as he was being carried to the burial, is touched
today by the woe of the bereaved mother. He who gave back to Mary
and Martha their buried brother, who wept tears of sympathy at the
grave of Lazarus, who pardoned Mary Magdalene, who remembered
His mother when He was hanging in agony upon the cross, who ap-
peared to the weeping women after His resurrection, and made them
His messengers to preach a risen Saviour saying, “Go tell My disciples
that I go to My Father and to your Father, to My God and to your God,”
is woman’s best friend today and ready to aid her in her need if she
will trust Him.—
The Health Reformer, August, 1877
