The Happy Girl

WE have a girl in our Sunday School ten years old, who is a bright Christian. She always seems happy—I never saw her face clouded with a frown.
She is the daughter of a school master, and became a real follower of Christ when she was six years old. There is not a doubt of Annie's conversion.
She has two sisters and a brother, all younger, and to them she is as a mother, and is her father's little housekeeper. She has a smile for all the school children, and is a true pattern of what the grace of God can do for and in a child of ten years.
If you would have the same joy and a life of brightness and usefulness, you may have it where she got hers—that is, by believing on the Lord Jesus Christ with your heart, and confessing Him with your mouth. (Rom. 10:99That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. (Romans 10:9)).
Then day by day enjoying His love, and walking in the paths of His holy Word, you will know what it is to be kept in perfeet peace, and always rejoicing, There are boys and girls of all ages who have this joy, and it may be yours today.
"Jesus Christ: Whom having not seen, ye love; in Whom, though now ye see Him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory." 1 Peter 1:88Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: (1 Peter 1:8).
"Rejoice in the Lord always; and again I say, Rejoice." Phil. 4:44Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice. (Philippians 4:4).
