A REPULSIVE-LOOKING old woman, who, after a life of unbelief, had been converted, became the subject of persecution at the hands of her godless neighbors. In every way they sought to anger or otherwise disturb the spirit of patience and loving-kindness that now possessed her. Finally an old persecutor, having exhausted all her resources in the attempt, venomously exclaimed, “I think you’re the ugliest old woman that I ever saw.” To which the old woman, her face beaming with a light that made her beautiful, replied, in tears, “Wasn’t it wonderful that He could love an ugly old woman like me?”—Selected.
