Words of Help for Christian Girls

I have many things to say to you (suggested by the experiences of our own Church-Life and Bible­-Classes), which I want you to think over quietly; so I will put them all into a letter, which you can keep and read again and again. And as you read it, try to think of me as an elder brother, who is eager to help you.
In all this world there is nothing fairer than the young life which God has given you, with its sunny laughter, its high spirits, its hopes and golden dreams, its wealth of pure affection. You can en­rich the poorest home, as no money could. You can lighten the hardest lot. You can cheer the roughest path, making the weary feet forget the sharp flints. You can find the blue flowers bloom­ing amid Arctic snows. And by doing so, you may give and get untold blessings.
