If I were to take some pictures and place them in a bottle they would shine out through the glass, and you could see them. So with the thoughts that are in your heart; they shine out through your face and give expressions to it. Even when the body is suffering pain the heart may be at rest. David, the Psalmist, said that God was "the health of his countenance." Even though his body was suffering 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."
