In the home of a pious farmer there hung the well-known verse: "But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." (Joshua 24:15)
The verse meant something in that house, for the farmer
prayed daily that he & all might truly serve the Lord. But his oldest son
persistently refused to accept Christ.
One day the father & son were alone in the room where
the verse hung. The father said, "My dear Henry, I cannot & will not
be a liar any longer. You, who belong to my house, do not want to serve the
Lord. Therefore I must add the words `except Henry.' It hurts me to do it, but
I must be true."
The thought so impressed the boy that he gave himself to
Christ.
