The whole future life of Moses, the great mission which he fulfilled as the leader of Israel, testifies to the importance of the work of the Christian mother. There is no other work that can equal this. To a

very great extent the mother holds in her own hands the destiny of her children. She is dealing with developing minds and characters, working not alone for time, but for eternity. She is sowing seed that will spring up and bear fruit, either for good or for evil.
Moses had been learning much that he must unlearn. The influences that had surrounded him in Egypt--*the love of his foster mother, *his own high position as the king's grandson, *the refinement, *the subtlety, and *the mysticism of a false religion, *the splendor of idolatrous worship, *the solemn grandeur of architecture and sculpture--all had left deep impressions upon his developing mind and had molded, to some extent, his habits and character.
 Time, change of surroundings, and communion with God could remove these impressions.
*In slaying the Egyptian, Moses had fallen into the same error so often committed by his fathers, of taking into their own hands the work that God had promised to do.
 *Many never attain to the position that they might occupy, because they wait for God to do for them that which He has given them power to do for themselves.
*Moses became patient, reverent, and humble, very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth. Numbers 12:3
