much for my heart to tell thine," he says dropping
inevitably into the endearing pronoun.

And as he rises and goes away Helen follows his stalwart figure out of
the doorway and then goes and sits down by the fire again.

Her mother finds her there.

"Mr. Bauer, Felix, is coming here to-morrow, mother. I know what he is
coming to say."

Esther pauses. Helen answers her unspoken question.

"I am going to find my happiness, mother. It is the highest voice I have
heard. I am not afraid to answer it."

So with all who have fought and prayed and yearned for the overcoming
life in this story, may they all say, "I am not afraid to answer the
call when it sounds to me, the sound of 'The High Calling.'"
