The gospel record of His life has
somewhat to say of the things He did _not_ do but its pages are filled
with the things that He did. Lame, blind, lepers, insane, poor, lonely
and sorrowful as well as "sinners," His friends and His disciples bear
witness to the things that He _did_. Christianity is a religion of deeds
and whether it be through a factory-club, a neighborhood house, Camp
Fire Girls, Christian Associations, the summer camp, girls' conferences,
the Sunday-school or the home, the girl must be impressed with the fact
that religion and life go hand in hand and must be shown the way to
give that impression opportunity to express itself, until repeated
expression shall have marked out the trend of _character_.
If the girl herself is reading this chapter she will realize that while
in a girl's religion there must of necessity be the simple definite
"thou shalt not," the most important part of that religion is Thou
Shalt. The girl herself should be so busy doing the things that ought to
be done that there is no time for the undesirable and forbidden things.
It is much to the girl's credit that she loves a religion that does
things. The world needs, every church, every community, every school and
every home needs, girls who have found their religion and put it into
practise.
