There seem to be fewer and fewer real mothers in the world today. A mother who takes care of her children, teaches them about Jesus, and protects them from the world is a rare jewel. Brother Branham said, "It's not juvenile delinquency; it's parent delinquency," and how much more true is that today than it was 50 years ago?

They may be rare in the world, but this Message is filled with precious jewels. Brother Branham, so often, took the time to tell us how important a mother is to the family. He even called Mother the "Fifth Gospel."

There is nothing we could say to give credit to all you mothers, but we know one who can. As always, the prophet said it best:

But alas, that was long ago. And how he used to go and run, and heard his mother set out on the front porch and call his name, sweetly and softly, "Bartimaeus, it's nap time for my little boy." And he would rush up to his mother, as she set on the front porch, and sang the hymns of the Psalms to him, and tell him Bible stories until he would fall asleep in her arms.

How, setting there now, as an old man, withered, hunched in the cold, he'd think of that pretty Jewish mother, her eyes just as sparkly. How she used to brush the hair back from his little baby forehead, and say, "Oh, you have such pretty little brown eyes, my boy." And he remembered some of the Bible stories then, that she used to tell him.

I tell you, the thoughts of a good Christian mother, is a treasure to a human heart that's never forgotten. God, give us more mothers that'll take their children, and instead of trying to teach them tap-dancing, and something to ruin and wreck their life, will read the stories of the Bible to them and tell of them of the God of heaven and peace. God knows that we need that above all things now for motherhood.
