Thought of Mother did it

A Tommy in camp was one day cursing and swearing terribly, and after he had finished a chum said, “What would your mother think of you if she heard that?” He looked at him, and said, “What do you know about my mother? She is a real saint.” “Is she?” said his friend. “Then she’s praying for you.” A while later, this same soldier said to his friend, “Will you come outside?” and then, poor fellow, he broke down and said, “I was a Christian once, but I’ve wandered right away from God. It would break my mother’s heart to see me like this.” His churn said, “What you can do is to confess your sin, and come to God.” After a while he did so, and everybody knows the difference now.
