In the children committed to her care, every mother has a sacred charge from God. “Take this son, this daughter,” He says; “train it for Me; give it a character polished after the similitude of a palace, that it may shine in the courts of the Lord forever.” {FLB 264.3}

Børn der er bragt i enhver moders varetægt har et helligt hverv fra Gud. ”Tag denne søn, denne dager,” siger Han, ”oplær dem for Mig; giv det en karakter slebet efter billedet af et palads, så han må skinne i Herrens sale for evigt.”
