"Good night, old man," she said. "Give
us a cooler day tomorrow. Fifty new children come to camp." After a
moment while we waited for darkness to come stealing over the lake,
forgetful of me, she said with her whole soul in her voice, "Oh, I
_love_ it, I love it _all_--the world, and those poor blessed
children," then very softly "and God."
She had found the girls' religion, the religion Jesus Christ said, when
they asked Him, meant two things--"Thou shalt love the Lord Thy God--and
Thy Neighbor."
This is the girl's religion, for in loving she shall find Love--the
glory of the climax.
