Adam's dominion was that of love and peace, and Creation was very beautiful. And, after resting and studying His work, God created motherhood. And He saw it was finished, perfect. Mother! The all of everything! Infancy, enfolded in her arms, looks up into the light of her face and sees hope, love and safety. Old age, on its death-bed, hungrily searches the here- after with fast-glazing e} for her face, and, seeing, knows that God keeps all His promi of heaven, in full. Prisons exclude her not.
