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.

Christians, and who may even boast that they are as good without the help<br />
of Christ, as the Christian is with Christ. Let us remember that such people<br />
are actually reflecting the teachings of Christ in their lives — in spite of<br />
their boasts. They are as if the moon should boast of her light saying, "See, I<br />
shine <strong>by</strong> myself. I need not the sun. This light that I give is all my own." We<br />
know that if the sun were not shining somewhere the moon would be<br />
without light; for it has no light of her own — it gives only what she reflects<br />
from the sun. The high standards of morality and generosity that these<br />
upright people boast about, were learned from Christian teachings. Had<br />
they been reared where such teaching could not be had, they would be in as<br />
great heathen darkness as any people. It is foolish for any to boast of his<br />
own goodness.<br />
The girl will also find some who say they are Christians — yet<br />
whose lives are not according to the Bible standard. She will find that every<br />
other good thing is counterfeited — money, gold, jewels; everything of<br />
worth has its counterfeits, and so has Christianity. The thing that should<br />
most seriously interest every one of us is to see that we have<br />
the genuine religion of Christ.<br />
