SELF-DENIAL AN ORNAMENT.
By A SISTER
“I AM not satisfied with my spring hat, for there is no self-denial on it.” These words fell from the lips of a young lady, as she held up her new hat to my view. It certainly was plain, guiltless of plume, flower, or buckle; but the abundant rich trimmings made it still lacking in self denial. Now, my dear sisters, let us not have this cause for an unsatisfied conscience; but let us strive this spring to have, not only our hats, but all our apparel, so adorned with self-denial that we shall be able to have just one more mite to put into the precious cause of God at this time when so much means is needed. May the Lord help us to make a covenant with him by sacrifice, that we may be among the saints gathered unto him in the great day. A SISTER.
