The same reason stands him in good stead when death comes, and he smiles and passes on gladly, giv ing his life to service. “My sacrifice will be to give up the things I have always done, my friends, the gayety and charm of society; to give up dancing, singing and playing, which as a girl 1 love. “I have been loved all my life. 1 have been shown every luxury and have been showered with attentions and blessings. Yet through it all 1 had a feelirg that it was not right— I had an indescribable desire to give myself to God while I was young and fresh, keen and warm-blooded, God does not want the useless husks— people who have known pleasure and life and turn to Him merely because they seek a new diversion.
