Mr. Upton spoke slowly and emphatically; he knew he often preached above the heads of his little hearers, and he strove to speak in simple language now. MISTER UPTON SPOKE SLOWLY AND EMPHATICALLY HE KNEW HE OFTEN PREACHED ABOVE THE HEADS OF HIS LITTLE HEARERS AND HE STROVE TO SPEAK IN SIMPLE LANGUAGE NOW
re you marching along in the enemy's ranks?' Teddy's small hands were clenched, and his eyes lit up with a great resolve. 'I'll enlist at once, sir. I'll be one of God's soldiers now.' 'How are you going to do it?' 'I don't know. Tell me, please.' There was silence. Mr. Upton met the child's earnest, upward gaze with awe, as he realised how much hung on his words. He had a firm belief in children being able to lead a consistent Christian life. He knew the Master would accept a child's heart, and guide and keep the frail and helpless steps on the way heavenward. And with a swift prayer for guidance he spoke. 'You must tell God about it yourself, and don't be in a hurry. Kneel down quietly by yourself somewhere, and first of all ask that the Holy Spirit may guide you, that your sins may be blotted out, and your name written in the Book of Life, for the sake of Jesus who died for you. Then tell God you want Him to enlist you, and give yourself right up to Him for now and for all eternity.
