The Girl and Her Religion by Margaret Slattery

All passions of mortal ken."

The only way to meet a fact is to face it, follow it and see where it
will lead. It is prejudice that blinds one's eyes to facts. It is only
man's limited vision, that makes a part seem as a whole, that accepts as
_fact_ the thing he would _like_ to be a fact, that one need fear. Facts
that _are_ facts need never cause one to doubt. For fact is truth and
truth leads to God. The business of every church and every teacher of
religion is to discover the facts, _and present the Person_.

If the girl herself is reading these words let her be assured that more
than any array of facts that she can gather, more than any proofs man
can summon, she needs the Person. The handicapped girl finds in Him
strength to triumph in spite of it, the privileged girl finds in Him
the inspiration for her work of extending her privileges, the girl who
is easily led to find in Him one who never leads astray, the girl who is
misunderstood can find in Him one who understands perfectly, the
indifferent girl who "means to" will find in Him a friend to encourage,
steady and compel, the girl who worships the twin idols can find in Him
a rescuer who shall set her free, the girl of high ideals will see in
Him the highest Ideal, the source of all the others, and the average
girl of the every day with her good points and bad, her successes and
failures, will find in Him a Friend who will make life seem wonderfully
worth while.

Don't let the multitude of things in which you are interested, the maze
of contradiction, the abstract facts, the trials and hardships of life,
the pleasures you love, or any other thing make you pass Him by. If you
gain everything else in life and miss Him you will fail to know what
life means. If you find Him you will find Love and that is the best
