"Wherefore also God highly exalted
Him, and gave unto Him the name
the name of Jesus every knee should
bow, of things in Heaven and things
on earth and things under the earth
and that every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory

"The Son of God was a bond-serv-
ant" Barbara repeated the state
ment softly before she prayed. And
never before had she prayed more
and courage. Never had the girl felt
a deeper longing to be of use in the
world where she was most needed.
''Help me, Son of God" was the bur-

what ought to do. Lead me in the
right way"

gently, II have decided to go back
for good. I believe I can be of more
use there than in a schoolroom. The
dragon is very fierce and very tough,
mother; and I have been scared and
run away; but 1 am going back, and

changed color, and then Barbara

II hope we may be able to do some

II am ready to do something" Mrs
Ward spoke earnestly. 1--WE cannot re-

bara, quickly.
"To be sure" Mrs. Ward replied
Then she added, with show of emo
ton that had affected Barbara the day
before: II cannot tell you what a
great relief it is to me to have yor
here. 1t means more to me than cal
tell you just now"
81 am glad of it," Barbara answered
simply, and at once began the day:

"What will this mean to you?" Bar
