"Any Wednesday after February," said Mrs. Dankshire.
"Well—I will come on the first Wednesday in April. If anything should happen to prevent I will let you know in good season, and if you should wish to postpone or alter the program—should think better of the idea—just send me word. I shall not mind in the least."
They went away quite jubilant, Miss Bell's acceptance was announced officially at the next club-meeting, and the Home and Culture Club felt that it was fulfilling its mission.

I gave myself to God.—
With humility and contrition,
In sacrifice and submission.
"Take me! Do not refuse me!
Order me—govern me—use me!
Nothing I ask for my own—
I pray to be thine alone!—"
And God smiled.
I gave myself to mankind.—
With sorrow and sympathy deep,
With pity that would not sleep.
"To serve you and save you, brothers!
To give my life for the others!
I ask no price—no place—
I seek but to help the race!—"
And God smiled.
I gave myself to Myself.—
In the knowledge that opens power;
In the truth's unfolding hour;
In the glory of service free;
The joy that such life can be:—
My life—that is never done!
For my neighbor and I are One!—
And God smiled.
