The same reason stands him in good stead when death comes, and he smile* and/ passes on gladly, giv ing his life to service. “My sacrifice will be to give up the things 1 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. I have been shown every luxury and have been showered with attentions and blessings. Yet through it all I 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.
