fering pain his face might
be pleasant, because God was with him, making him happy in his heart.
There is an old adage that says, "handsome is, that handsome does."
There are some young persons who may have a pretty face, and yet who may
not be righteous and holy in their hearts; but as they grow older their
character will shine out more and more, until at last their face shall
be entirely changed, and all that is bad in their hearts will appear in
their faces. If you want a good face you must have a good heart. Take
Jesus into your heart, follow His teachings and imitate His example, and
from year to year you will grow more and more like Him. Here is a very
appropriate and beautiful poem, which was written by Miss Alice Carey.

TAKE CARE.

"Little children, you must seek
Rather to be good than wise,
For the thoughts you do not speak
Shine out in your cheeks and eyes.

"If you think that you can be
Cross or cruel, and look fair,
Let me tell you how to see
You are quite mistaken there.

"Go and stand before the glass,
And some ugly thought contrive,
And my word will come to pass
Just as sure as you're alive!

"What you have and what you lack,
All the same as what you wear,
You will see reflected back;
So, my little folks, take care!

"And not only in the glass
Will your secrets come to view;
All beholders, as they pass,
Will perceive and know them, too.

"Out of sight, my boys and girls,
Every root of beauty starts;
So think less about your curls,
More about your minds and hearts.

"Cherish what is good, and drive
Evil thoughts and feelings far;
For, as sure as you're alive,
You will show for what you are."

their faces? Suppose one were to be cross and ugly
constantly what would occur? If a person were to
laugh constantly, what would be the effect upon
their face? Can you tell a minister when you see
