Confessing Christ.

Now, ts we are ashamed of Him, He certainly will be ashamed- of us. There was a-boy got up-in one of tluo meetings in Boston a number of years ago. Therewere- many agodi Pilgrims 'there. The boy got up andi he could not talk good English; he was a Norwegian, and foor--teen years of age. Witu the tears trickling down his cheeks,, he said:“ If I tell the world about Jesus,. Jems will tell the Father about me.”' I. have never forgotten) that speeah I cwuihot tell you a word that those aged men said, but that little boy’s testimony! burned down into my soul. If we own Him in this uubeiieviqg world, and cons Him, He will confess us before Gad ami the holy angels. During the war our Generals were very anxious to h&ve their names mentioned in. Congrgss, and h- -v proud they were whe-, spoken of in immtJs of praise. If w think so much of Wing mentioned puoliclv here-, how much ought we to think, of being me itinned iq. the (Jburts o-f Heaven * If are confess Him down hero. He will confess us tip yonder. I cannot describe the blessing t felt ip my soU when 1 contessed that 1 had taken my stand on the Lord’s' sidel I was ! bl wftr man, and I would not give up the privilege cj speaking feu - Christ if- you would give ate the whole world.— &.
