Can
we speak too highly of her whom the Lord has blessed above all women?
There was only one Christ, and there is only one Mary. Each was noble
and great in pre-existence, and each was foreordained to the ministry
he or she performed. We cannnot but think that the Father would choose
the greatest female spirit to be the mother of His Son, even as he chose
the male spirit unto him to be the Savior.
