Sr. Matt. vi. 16–18.—“Moreover, when ye fast, be not, as
the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure
their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily
I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when
thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face ; that
thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father
which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret,
shall reward thee openly”
