I never give a cent to them . '' `` Five cents is n't a very large sum , '' said Cecily earnestly . Mr. Campbell 's scowl disappeared and he laughed . `` It would n't break me , '' he admitted , `` but it 's the principle of the thing . And as for that Mission Band of yours , if it was n't for the fun you get out of it , catch one of you belonging . You do n't really care a rap more for the heathen than I do . '' `` Oh , we do , '' protested Cecily . `` We do think of all the poor little children in Korea , and we like to think we are helping them , if it 's ever so little . We ARE in earnest , Mr. Campbell -- indeed we are . '' `` Do n't believe it -- do n't believe a word of it , '' said Mr. Campbell impolitely . `` You 'll do things that are nice and interesting . You 'll get up concerts , and chase people about for autographs and give money your parents give you and that does n't cost you either time or labour . But you would n't do anything you disliked for the heathen children -- you would n't make any real sacrifice for them -- catch you ! '' `` Indeed we would , '' cried Cecily , forgetting her timidity in her zeal . `` I just wish I had a chance to prove it to you . '' `` You do , eh ? Come , now , I 'll take you at your word . I 'll test you . Tomorrow is Communion Sunday and the church will be full of folks and they 'll all have their best clothes on . If you go to church tomorrow in the very costume you have on at present , without telling anyone why you do so , until it is all over , I 'll give you -- why , I vow I 'll give you five dollars for that quilt of yours .
