Ugliness Leading a Woman to Become a Christian.
My friend, Dr. Budington, told me (Rev. Dr. Newton) that a young woman came to see him once about joining his church. He asked her what made her first think of wanting to be a Christian. She said it was because she found she was growing so ugly. She looked in the glass one day when she was very angry, and was fairly frightened to see how ugly she looked. She found that the bad tempers that she was giving way to were making ugly marks upon her face. She was afraid to think what this would grow to, by-and-by. This led her to think what a dreadful thing sin must be. Then she prayed to Jesus to take away her sin, and make her a Christian. This young woman was right. What she said was true. There is nothing that will help to make us look ugly sooner than giving way to bad temper.—Evangelist.
