"No other work can equal hers in importance. She has not, like the artist, to paint a form of beauty upon canvas,
nor, like the sculptor, to chisel it from marble.
She has not, like the author, to embody a noble thought in words of power,
nor, like the musician, to express a beautiful sentiment in melody.
It is hers, with the help of God, to develop in a human soul the likeness of the divine.
The mother who appreciates this will regard her opportunities as priceless."
Ministry of Healing p.378 E.G.W.

the prophecy that his mother taught him.
