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.

esolutely to the things of God. Study the Word of God, and all other books<br />
that will give you the knowledge you will need for your work. If a vocation is<br />
considered that requires more schooling, it should only be undertaken upon<br />
proper counsel. All the while keeping ready to do the little things for<br />
God that you find need doing <strong>by</strong> the way.<br />
Besides this, live close to God in prayer, fighting your life battles through,<br />
seeking in everything to follow the guiding of the Lord. To you will come<br />
many experiences which will test your grace and fortitude, many<br />
temptations to try you — that you may prove your strength and courage,<br />
and that you may know the battles that others have to fight.<br />
If God has called you to His work, look not upon it as a hardship; but go<br />
forth gladly, willing and ready to go and to suffer and die for the cause you<br />
love. From your ranks, you who are girls now — God will call many for<br />
service. Let Him find willing servants, who will fully yield their whole lives<br />
to Him.<br />
But I would not forget the rank and file, those who are not specially called<br />
— but whose lives are set in the ordinary channels, who are to make<br />
the home women of our land. Let not one think that only in special service<br />
is consecration needed. Every act of our lives can be a service to God. She<br />
who makes a good home where others are encouraged and strengthened,<br />
she who is ready to speak a kind and encouraging word to those in need,<br />
she who keeps up a humble and quiet everyday service to God — she is<br />
glorifying Him just as much as are they who go on special missions!<br />
