:Christian And Hopeful:
Sometimes Christians Go For A Good
While In Trouble, Not Realizing That
Riches Are Laid Up For Them In A
Familiar Promise.
When Christians And Hopeful Strayed
Out Of The Path Upon Forbidden Gro-
und, And Found Themselves Locked Up
In Doubting Castle By Giant Despair For
Their Carelessness, There They Lay For
Days, Until One Night They Began To
Pray.
"Now A Little Before It Was Day, Good
Christian, As One Half-Amazed, Broke
Out In Passionate Speech: 'What A Fool.!'
Quoth He, 'Am I, Thus To Lie In This
Horrible Dungbosom,When I May As Well
Walk At Liberty. Ihave A Key In My Bosom
Called PROMISE, That Will, I Am Persuaded,
Open Any Look In Doubting Castls.
Then Said Hopeful "That's Good News,
Good Brother; Pluck It Out Of Thy Bosom
And Try.'
Then Christian Pulled It Out Of His Bosom,
And Began To Try The Dungeon Door,
Whose Bolts Gave Back, And The Door
Flew Open With Ease, And Christian
And Hopeful Came Out."
