A CHRISTIAN<br />
"The disciples were called Christians first in Antioch." Acts 11:26<br />
A disciple of Christ is one who takes Christ for an example and seeks<br />
to emulate and glorify Him in all things. Only those who are thus earnestly<br />
following Christ, are worthy to be called Christians.<br />
To be a Christian is the most honorable and lovely thing a person may be.<br />
There is no life, no matter how high or noble it may be, that can compare in<br />
satisfaction and happiness with the life of a real Christian. While the doors<br />
to many favored places are closed to the throngs, opening only for a favored<br />
few — this blessed life of Christian living is open and free for everyone!<br />
It was never meant that the years of any person should be filled up with<br />
only the common rounds of life — with nothing higher or nobler to lead on<br />
to greater things. The heart of man cannot be satisfied with the things that<br />
earth has to give. There was planted in man's heart from the beginning, a<br />
desire to know and understand higher things, and to commune with his<br />
Maker. The complete satisfying of this God-given nature cannot be had,<br />
except <strong>by</strong> knowing God. A person may become very wise, and fill his mind<br />
with many things, and put all his time into learning — yet there remains<br />
something unsatisfied until he finds God.<br />
Christian womanhood is the most noble womanhood. If this be true, then<br />
we cannot find girlhood in all its beauty and perfection, until it is a<br />
Christian girlhood. The life of a Christian is not too hard for a girl to live, if<br />
she has the right start and really tries.<br />
