She hath sent her maids to invite to the tower, and to the walls of the city:

Maids. Septuagint, “servant men,” the pastors of the church, inviting all to piety in so public a manner, that none can plead ignorance. (St. Gregory) (Calmet) — To invite. Protestants, “she crieth upon the highest places of the city.” (Haydock) — Christ enjoins his apostles to preach on the roofs, Matthew x. 37.
