" And the next morning the man was led out;
the grave was already dug for him, and the black cap was put on him, and
the soldiers were there ready to receive the order, "Fire," and in a
few moments the man would be shot and put in that grave and covered up,
when who should rise up but the American Consul, who took the American
flag and wrapped it around him, and the English Consul took the English
flag and wrapped it around him; and they said to those soldiers, "Fire
on those flags if you dare!" Not a man dared; there were two great
governments behind those flags. And so God says, "Come under my banner,
come under the banner of love, come under the banner of heaven." God
will take care of all that will come under His banner.
Snapping the Chains.
In the North there was a minister talking to a man in the inquiry-room.
The man says, "My heart is so hard, it seems as if it was chained, and I
cannot come." "Ah," says the minister, "come along, chain and all," and
he just came to Christ hard-hearted, chain and all, and Christ snapped
the fetters, and set him free right there. So come along. If you are
bound hand and foot by Satan, it is the work of God to break the
fetters; you cannot break them.
