Even within our own Empire there are, especially in India,
countless multitudes waiting for the truth of the gospel to bring light
and hope into their lives. Do we feel as we should the call that comes
to us from our sisters the women of India? They are needing teachers,
doctors, nurses, help that only other women can bring them. Is it not
worth while for those who are looking out into life, wondering what it
will mean to them, to consider whether the call may not come to them to
give themselves to the service of their sisters in the East?
But however this may be, make yourselves ready to hear whatever call may
come. There is some service wanted from you; to give that service will
be your greatest blessing, your deepest joy. Whether you are able to
give that service worthily will depend upon the use you make of the time
of waiting and preparation. It must be done, not for your own
gratification, but because you are the followers of One who came, "not
to be ministered unto, but to minister."
[Illustration: "THE SON OF MAN CAME NOT TO BE MINISTERED UNTO, BUT TO
MINISTER."]
[Sidenote: A very singular adventure befell two young people, who
entertained a stranger unawares.]

how good it is to be alive and young--and, incidently, to hope that the
tennis-courts won't be too dry.
