That was how Jesus came among men. He came calling men to a great adventure, to non-calculating and self-regardless co-operation with the active energy and will of the Father. How much He knew beforehand of whither that will would lead Him can never be known.
The specific Christian thing that makes Christianity salvation is not as so many men in the army think just goodness nor negative and kill-joy propriety, but the fact that in the ardent, venturesome, and self-regardless sacrifice of Jesus, we see the Love of God Himself coming out to win the souls of men.
It is ever insisting on non-calculating and self-regardless service, endurance, and sacrifice. As such, it lies above the ordinary level of life, calling out the heroic and honourable in men.
By and by would come vacation, and in the following spring, at farthest, she would leave school, and then she would see. She would write a book, maybe. Why not?

Petersburg, when he returned thither after the fall of Plevna. Alexander II. literally sacrificed his life to his self-regardless concern for the suffering.

Ruthven, meanwhile, fearful that the unarmed Wallace and the self-regardless Edwin might fall into the hands of the venal wretches now widely dispersed to seize the chief and his adherents, sent out the veterans, in divers disguises, to pursue the roads it was probable he might take, and finding him, guard him safely to the coast.
Miss Welsh, will you attend the festivity of the evening under my guidance and protection?" "Yes, thank you." "I'll be ready before you are." "No doubt; I've got to wash the dishes." "I'll wash the dishes; you go get ready," said the self-regardless mother.
The best days of Edwin L. Davenport and the younger James Wallack are brought to mind by them. In the drama of The Middleman Willard had to impersonate an inventor, of the absorbed, enthusiastic, self-regardless, fanatical kind. Cyrus Blenkarn is a potter.
This young fellow had often sniffed the breath of battle in his nostrils. He had many times done and dared things that only a brave and self-regardless man could have done and dared. To-night the old enthusiasm of war came back to his soul, but with a difference. He had often fought to destroy. He was facing danger now with saving and the rescue of imperiled human lives for his purpose.
