Teddy pondered over this. 'When I get to heaven I shan't have to fight with Ipse, shall I?' 'No, darling; there will be no fighting with sin there.' Teddy smiled. 'Perhaps my Captain will think I've been nearly as brave as father if I fight Ipse hard till I die.' 'There is a verse in the Bible that says, "He that ruleth his spirit is better than he that taketh a city." Mother would rather have her little son fight God's battles than be the bravest soldier in the Queen's army.' TEDDY PONDERED OVER THIS WHEN I GET TO HEAVEN I SHAN'T HAVE TO FIGHT WITH IPSE SHALL I NO DARLING THERE WILL BE NO FIGHTING WITH SIN THERE TEDDY SMILED PERHAPS MY CAPTAIN WILL THINK I'VE BEEN NEARLY AS BRAVE AS FATHER IF I FIGHT IPSE HARD TILL I DIE THERE IS A VERSE IN THE BIBLE THAT SAYS HE THAT RULETH HIS SPIRIT IS BETTER THAN HE THAT TAKETH HIS CITY MOTHER WOULD RATHER HAVE HER LITTLE SON FIGHT GOD'S BATTLES THAN BE THE BRAVEST SOLDIER IN THE QUEEN'S ARMY
sit, 'it's a very funny thing; but do you know, I used to wish for an enemy so much, to fight and carry on with, and now I've got one, and have Ipse to fight with, I'm getting rather tired of him. Is that wicked? I asked Mr. Upton to-day if I couldn't ever get rid of Ipse--I mean when I am grown up, but he said I never should altogether, but that I could keep him well under, so that he wouldn't trouble me so. He does trouble me a lot now' 'Soldiers must never get tired of fighting, sonny, and you have your Captain to help you.' 'Yes; and I suppose when I get bigger and stronger it will be much easier, won't it? Mother, do you have any fighting? Have you got an enemy like me?' 'Yes, indeed I have, my boy.' 'But you're never beaten, are you? You never do anything wrong!' 'I don't get into mischief, and disobey orders, perhaps,' Mrs. John said, smiling; 'but I have lots of difficulties and temptations that you know little about, sonny, and I am afraid I very often get beaten by the enemy. E WAS PAYING HIM HER USUAL GOOD NIGHT VISIT IT'S A VERY FUNNY THING BUT DO YOU KNOW I USED TO WISH FOR AN ENEMY SO MUCH TO FIGHT AND CARRY ON WITH AND NOW I'VE GOT ONE AND OF IPSE TO FIGHT WITH AND I'M GETTING RATHER TIRED OF HIM IS THAT WICKED I ASKED MISTER UPTON TO DAY IF I COULDN'T EVER GET RID OF IPSE I MEAN WHEN I GROW UP BUT HE SAID I NEVER SHOULD ALTOGETHER AND THAT I SHOULD KEEP HIM WELL UNDER SO THAT HE WOULDN'T TROUBLE ME SO HE DOES TROUBLE ME A LOT NOW SOLDIERS MUST NEVER GET TIRED OF FIGHTING SONNY AND YOU HAVE YOUR CAPTAIN TO HELP YOU YES AND I SUPPOSE WHEN I GET BIGGER AND STRONGER IT WILL BE MUCH EASIER WON'T IT MOTHER DO YOU HAVE ANY FIGHTING HAVE YOU GOT AN ENEMY LIKE ME YES INDEED I HAVE MY BOY BUT YOU'RE NEVER BEATEN ARE YOU YOU NEVER DO ANYTHING WRONG I DON'T GET INTO MISCHIEF AND DISOBEY ORDERS PERHAPS MISSUS JOHN SAID SMILING BUT I HAVE LOTS OF OTHER DIFFICULTIES AND TEMPTATIONS THAT YOU KNOW LITTLE ABOUT SONNY AND I AM AFRAID I VERY OFTEN GET BEATEN BY THE ENEMY
