'God always wants each of us to present ourselves to Him, if we want to enlist in His army. Have you done that? There must come a time in our lives when we yield ourselves wholly and unreservedly to the one who is our rightful owner. Why, my boy, do you believe that Jesus died upon the cross to save you? Did He bear your sins for you there?' 'Yes,' said Teddy, fixing his blue eyes earnestly on the rector, 'I really believe He did, for mother has often explained it to me.' GOD ALWAYS WANTS EACH OF US TO PRESENT OURSELVES TO HIM IF WE WANT TO ENLIST IN HIS ARMY HAVE YOU DONE THAT THERE MUST COME A TIME IN OUR LIVES WHEN WE YIELD OURSELVES WHOLLY AND UNRESERVEDLY TO THE ONE WHO IS OUR RIGHTFUL OWNER WHY MY BOY DO YOU BELIEVE THAT JESUS DIED UPON THE CROSS TO SAVE YOU DID HE BEAR YOUR SINS FOR YOU THERE YES SAID TEDDY FIXING HIS BLUE EYES EARNESTLY ON THE RECTOR I REALLY BELIEVE HE DID FOR MOTHER HAS OFTEN EXPLAINED IT TO ME
nt some more talk with you. Your father was a brave soldier; he died in saving the colours. You want to grow up like him, do you not?' 'Yes, sir, indeed I do.' 'There is a little verse in God's Word that describes our Lord's banner--His colours. Will you say it after me?--"His banner over me was love."' Teddy repeated the verse slowly, and with interest. 'It is a wonderful banner,' pursued Mr. Upton thoughtfully, 'the enemy confronted with it on every side. In the thick of the fight we can but hoist our colours, "Love." God's love to man, when man is fighting from his infancy against his Maker. What host would not march to meet the foe with such a banner dyed red with the life-blood of their Captain, the Son of God, the Saviour of the world?' Teddy drew a long breath, and when the rector paused, he cried enthusiastically, 'Please go on, sir. I like to hear it. Will God let me hold up the banner for Him?' 'If you have enlisted in His service. Are you one of His soldiers?' 'I don't know.
