'You'll have to fight like Mr. Upton told me to, won't you?' said Teddy. 'But if our Captain is with us, Mr. Upton says we shan't be beaten.' 'No,' said the corporal, a light coming into his eyes. 'We shall be more than conquerors.'

I've enlisted in His army, and I'm one of His soldiers.' 'Shake hands, little brother, then; we're comrades after all.' 'Are all soldiers in Jesus Christ's army?' asked Teddy as they walked away together. The corporal shook his head sadly. 'Hardly any of them in my regiment,' he said.

A year ago I was an awful blackguard myself: I drank dreadfully, and couldn't give the drink up; but that's all a thing of the past. Since I have belonged to the Lord He keeps me from it, and many other bad habits. I'll own I fairly dreaded coming to this bit of duty. The sight and smell of the beer is very strong to a man that has been such a slave to it, and I must be quartered in public-houses the whole way along.
