Working for Christ

“THE bugle sounded for tea, and here was an opportunity not to be missed. I was able to go from table to table, and converse with the men. I discovered one London man among the company a Christian man, too, who was delighted to see me. From another table came the words. ‘There is a happy land, far, far away! ‘Where is that?’ I asked. ‘Tipperary!’ came the reply. ‘Then that must be the Revised Version,’ I pursued. ‘I like the Authorized better.’ ‘Well, and what’s the Authorized Version?’ one man asked. I replied in one word, ‘HEAVEN.’ ‘But that is a long way up there,’ he said; pointing upward. ‘I want something nearer.’ ‘And you may have it―a heavenly experience while on earth, for have you never read: Heaven comes ‘down our souls to greet”? and “Where Jesus is ‘tis Heaven there”?’
So I was able for about a quarter of an hour to make the message plain as to how to receive Jesus, and thus experience Heaven.”
