Mary came and anointed the feet of the Lord, in the power of love, and the house was filled with the sweet savor of the ointment. There was something very peculiar about the time and hour of her doing it. Her habit had been to sit at His feet, Martha's to be full of active bustling service. Mary takes her wonted place, and anoints His feet. Judas thinks " What a quantity of money has slipped through my bands!" The disciples too are thinking about the bag. But Jesus turns to them, saying, " Let her alone, against the day of my burying bath she kept this. She is in the current of my. Father's mind and knows my Father's secrets."
