Henceforth, then, be not ashamed, but let everyone know
you are His.
The Little Tow-Headed Norwegian.
I remember while in Boston I attended one of the daily prayer meetings.
The meetings we had been holding had been almost always addressed by
young men. Well, in that meeting a little tow-headed Norwegian boy stood
up. He could hardly speak a word of English plain, but he got up and
came to the front. He trembled all over and the tears were all trickling
down his cheeks, but he spoke out as well as he could and said: "If I
tell the world about Jesus, then will He tell the Father about me." He
then took his seat; that was all he said, but I tell you that in those
few words he said more than all of them, old and young together. Those
few words went straight down into the heart of everyone present. "If I
tell the world"--yes, that's what it means to confess Christ.

The Family that Hooted at Moody.
I remember a family in Chicago that used to hoot at me and my scholars
as we passed their house sometimes. One day one of the boys came into
the Sunday-school and made light of it, As he went away, I told him I
was glad to see him there and hoped he would come again.
