"There is a story of a young man that
came up with a little handful of men to attack a king who was invading their
land and who had a great army of 3,000 men. The young man had only 500, and the
king sent a messenger to the young man, saying that he need not fear to
surrender, for he would treat him mercifully. The young man called up one of
his soldiers and said: "Take this dagger and drive it to your heart;"
and the soldier took the dagger and drove it to his heart. And calling up
another, he said to him, "Leap into yonder chasm," and the man leaped
into the chasm. The young man then said to the messenger, "Go back and
tell your king I have 500 men like these. We will die, but we will never
surrender. And tell your king another thing, that I will have him chained with
my dog inside of half an hour." And when the king herd that, he did not
dare to meet them, and his army fled before them like chaff before the wind,
and within twenty-four hours he had that kind chained with his dog." Moody.
That'll preach!
