innie, you must; for so Christ has taught us, you know. And there
is nothing like kindness to change enemies into friends. It melts away
their enmity when they see us returning their evil with good."

"But suppose my heart won't let me love them, aunt, what shall I do?"

"You must pray to God for aid. He will help you. So that you may be a
sunbeam in the path of the worst enemy who may seek to injure you."

In a few days after this visit to Mrs. Button's cottage, aunt Amy
returned to her home. Minnie was sorry to have her go, but she knew it
was proper for her to do so, and she did not complain. She felt
lonesome at first; but she did not forget the precious lesson her aunt
had taught her. She had been a good and gentle girl before; now she was
a light in her home, and her presence was as sunshine to all who knew
her, and especially to Kate Button, who became a bright scholar in her
Sunday school. She had her little failings, it is true; but she tried
hard to subdue them; and henceforth the purpose of her life was

TO BE AS A SUNBEAM, ALWAYS SHINING ON THE HEARTS OF OTHERS.
