Former Title: The Three Marys. By “The Three Marys” it is not meant that there are not other Marys in the New Testament, only that the three selected—Mary the mother of our Lord, Mary of Bethany, and Mary Magdalene—occupy a specially prominent place. It must indeed be apparent to every reader of the Scriptures that these three were distinctly chosen of God for association with His beloved Son, when in this world, in order to present lessons of grace, devotedness of affection, communion and discipleship. It is the writer’s prayer that others may share with him in the profit and blessing he himself has received through his meditations upon these blessed and holy examples, to the end that the Lord Himself may be more abundantly magnified.
