About this listen
Woman owes much to Christianity. All that is noble, beautiful, exalted, refined, tender, and pure in her lot, she owes to Christ and his gospel. Every Christian woman has been doubly saved, and owes it to her Lord to bring the whole wealth of her love into his service. The tree drops its fruits into the lap of him who nurtures it. The vine bestows its purple clusters upon him who trains and tends it. The fields give their ripened sheaves into the bosom of him who tills the soil and sows the seed. Even the little flower that the dew-drop blesses, gives back to the heavens again its sweet offering of praise. And shall not those who owe so much to Jesus, bring the richest gifts of their hearts and hands and pour them out upon his altar?
Many spheres of ministry are open to Christian women. One is the care, training, and teaching of little children, not only in the home as mother, but as teacher in the Sabbath-school or weekday-school, or as missionary and friend. God gives no nobler work to mortal on the earth than that of fashioning the heart and life of a little child.
There are artists whose all-absorbing ambition is to paint a picture, which shall be hung up in some great gallery, to be admired by future ages. But Christian mothers and teachers of little children are permitted to work for a far more glorious immortality. Their work may have no praise among men. The world may never know when it looks upon the noble life, which has been fashioned in the lowly home or humble school-room, what hand gave it its beauty or its impulse. But eternity will declare it, and God will take care that the honor is bestowed where it belongs.
But this is not the only sphere open to Christian women. They can enter the homes of the ungodly, everywhere, and by their superior tact, quicker sympathy, gentler love, and tenderer words, win their way, and win a way for their Lord, into hearts that have never before been opened to heavenly influences. The story of the Redeemer’s love is never so sweet, so tender, so melting, as when it comes out of the depths of a woman’s heart, through a woman’s lips, baptized with a woman’s tears. I have known hardened men, whom no sermon from the most eloquent preacher could ever have moved, softened to tenderness and penitential tears, as they listened to the burning words of love and the earnest pleadings of a Christian woman.
