In conclusion, Mr. Gandhi appealed to them to accept tbe services of himself and bis wife, for be said they bad come bo render suob service as God would enable them to do so. They had not come to receive big entertainments like that because they did not think they were worthy of such presents, Ho felt they would only spoil them if ever by suob action a thought crossed their minds that they had done something to deserve suoh a big tamasha made in their honour. He, however, thanked them on behalf of bis wife and himself most sincerely for the great honour done to them that afternoon and be hoped to receive tbe whole country in their endeavour to serve tbe Motherland. Hitherto, he said, they bad known nobbing of bis failures. All tbe news that they bad received related to bis successes. Here they would now see them in the naked light, and would see their faults, and anticipating suob faults and failures, be asked them to overlook them, and with that appeal, be said, they as bumble servants would commence tbe service of their country.
