"Girls should be taught that the true charm of
womanliness is not alone in beauty of form or feature, nor in the
possession of accomplishments; but in a meek and quiet spirit, in
patience, generosity, kindness, and a willingness to do and suffer for
others. They should be taught to work, to study to some purpose, to live
for some object, to trust in God and fear Him, and to respect their
parents. Then as they advance in years, they will grow more pure-minded,
self-reliant, and beloved. It will be impossible to degrade such a
woman. She will escape the temptations and trials that have been the
ruin of so many".4Health Reformer, December, 1877./Child Guidance,p140
Above all,these are my desires as I've been founded lacking:a meek and quiet spirit,patience,generosity,kindness,a willingness to do and suffer for others!My only prayer and how I pray as sisters we may hunger and agonise for such traits.The Lord will surely impart them to us.
