Enlist!

A quote from C. T. Studd's "The Chocolate Soldier or Heroism - The Lost Chord of Christianity".

Come then, let us restore the 'lost chord' of Christianity - heroism - to the world, and the crown of the world to Christ. Christ Himself asks you, "Will you be a malingerer or a militant?"

To your knees, man! And to your Bible! Decide at once! Don't hedge! Time flies! Cease your insults to God. Quit consulting flesh and blood. Stop your lame lying and cowardly excuses.

Enlist! Here are your papers and oath of allegiance. Scratch out one side and sign the other in the presence of God and the recording angel. Mark God's endorsements underneath.
Henceforth...

For me
To live is Christ
To die is gain
I'll be a militant or
A man of God
A gambler for Christ
A Hero

For me
Chocolate my name
Tepidity my temperature
A malingerer,
A child of men
A self-excuser
A humbug

God's promises are sure in either case:
"I am with you always."
"I will spit you out of my mouth."

Good Lord!
Baptize us with the Holy Spirit and with fire!
Cure us of this dread plague of Sleeping Sickness,
this crazy talking in our sleep, that even as we unceasingly pray,

May Your Name be hallowed everywhere;
Your kingdom come speedily;
Your will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Amen and Amen!
