Luke 9:26 For whoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory… — A soldier in hospital three times picked up the hymn, "Will you go?" which was scattered as a tract, and twice threw it down again. The last time he read it, he thought of it, and, taking his pencil, wrote deliberately on the margin these words: "By the grace of God, I will try to go. John Waugh, Company G, Tenth Regiment, P.R.V.C." That night he went to a prayer-meeting, read his resolution, requested prayers for his salvation, and said: "I am not ashamed of Christ now; but I am ashamed of myself for having been so long ashamed of Him." He was killed a few months after. How timely was his resolution!
