Big Bargains in Best Books
But Douglas was not satisfied in his heart, though he ate'and laughed and talked with the rest. He was aware that he had not measured up. These “outlanders” had expressed in their own picturesque way their appreciation —no, their participation—in something he had always either taken for granted or regarded as a negligible quan tity—he was not sure which had been his attitude. And he had coldly put a quencher on the occasion, and grieved his young sister who had arranged it. He looked across the; table at Donald Donaldson who was doing marvelous things with his knife and fork. It really was a joy to see the fellow e a t! He began to like Donald. After all, Althea Sumner had a fearfully critical attitude somehow! Don ald decidedly ought not to be suppressed, neither should Kaimakpv nor the Greek, nor the Indian—and above all, the fiery and unafraid Djemileh should be encouraged. He admitted it ! Are fathers mind-readers ? Sometimes perhaps. At any rate just at this point when the nuts and raisins and bon bons were passing around, Douglas was called upon by his father for an after-dinner speech. Now was his chance to make the amende honorable. He hastened to take it. “Thanksgiving is a day that we Americans are taking lightly,” he told them. It originated in praise for—for our God and—and Saviour, who had delivered our fore fathers from death in the New World. And yet the sig nificance of the day has vanished. We ourselves are to blame. I mean people like myself who refuse to face the music—the marching music Miss—er—Djemileh told about. I do not suppose any member of the Crimson Eleven ever received such a—a going over as that. It is noteworthy that it took a Tartar to—to rout me out of my rut. I am going to turn over the rest of my speech to Donald here, and let me add that I wish to come to school to you people and—and to do all I can to help.” Amid great applause Douglas sank into his chair. Donald felt for a moment that he could not do as Douglas asked. But a sudden inspiration came to him and, rising to his feet, he gave them the famous closing words of the great Spurgeon’s last sermon: “ ‘What 1 have to say lastly is th is: How greatly I desire that you who are not yet enlisted in my Lord’s band would come to Him because you see what a kind and gra cious Lord He is. Young men, if you could see our Cap tain, you would go down on your knees and beg Him to let you enter the ranks of those who follow Him. It is heaven to serve Jesus. I am a recruiting sergeant, and I would fain find a few recruits at this moment. Every man must serve somebody. We have no choice as to that fact. Those who have no master are slaves to themselves. Depend upon it, you will either serve Satan or Christ, either self or the Saviour. You will find sin, self, Satan, and the world to be hard masters; but if you wear the livery of Christ, you will find Him so meek and lowly in heart that you will find rest unto your souls. He is the most magnani mous of captains. There never was His like among the choicest of princes. He is always to be found in the thickest part of the battle. When the wind blows cold He always takes the bleak side of the hill. The heaviest end of the cross lies ever on His shoulders . . . . His service is life, peace, joy. Oh, that you would enter in at once ! God help you to enlist under the banner of Jesus even this day. Amen.’ ”
