Beautiful Girlhood compiled by Debra Maffett
Beautiful Girlhood by Mabel Hale was written in 1922. Those years forming the transition period between childhood and womanhood are filled with wonderful interest and attractiveness, for there is nothing of more beauty and grace than the budding and blossoming of girlhood. But the young feet that travel this way are often fearful and uncertain, or willful and bold. Each and all have need of guidance; they need a helping hand along the way. This book is sent forth with a sincere desire to be a blessing. In a timeless way, this classic book offers practical, biblical wisdom on the issues every girl faces, from beauty to attitudes to relationships.

had kept still when someone had taunted me, and it seemed almost as <strong>by</strong> a<br />
voice, so clear did the assurance come to my heart, "I was pleased with you<br />
then," and I said, "Lord, I will try to be even more humble the next time."<br />
So we went over the whole day.<br />
I said (for the Lord seemed very near to me), "Lord, do I stand clear in your<br />
sight? Is everything right between You and me?" and the answer came back<br />
to my own heart in the quietness of the hour, "You are my child, and I am<br />
pleased with you."<br />
It was time for our family worship, and I rose and went in, with my spirit<br />
rested and my soul as calm as the summer night. I have found that<br />
these quiet hours with God, these times when I have come as it were into<br />
His presence — have been the strength of my Christian life, and I know they<br />
are what every young Christian needs.<br />
My dear girl, if you are not a true servant of God, the quiet hours in rest and<br />
pure meditation will make you better; and perhaps in them, the precious<br />
Spirit of God will talk to your heart and show you how to come to Him. I<br />
pray that it may be so. But if you are serving God, do not miss these quiet<br />
hours with Him. Have some time each day to go alone to meditate and pray.<br />
Be willing to do and live, as you feel in your heart you should do and live<br />
after you have thus sat before Him.<br />
Learn to love to be alone, to know how to depend upon yourself for<br />
entertainment, and to find in your own heart and mind something to think<br />
about and meditate upon. Do not allow yourself to be one of those lightminded<br />
creatures who must always have the stimulating effect of a<br />
companion to find enjoyment.<br />
