Galatians 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. A young Christian soldier in the army was often assaulted by his tent-mates while at prayer at night. He sought advice of the chaplain, and, by his counsels, omitted his usual habit. But his ardent soul could not endure this. He chose rather to have prayer with persecution than peace without it, and resumed his old way. The result was, that after a time all his tent-companions knelt in prayer with him. In reporting to the chaplain he said, "Isn't it better to keep the colours flying?"
