_Credo_, he will tell you, is 'I believe'; it is to have faith in God and in the word of God.

You will borrow your Latin from your little boy, and then you will pay him back by telling him how Captain Credence has always led the van in your soul.

You will tell him and show him what a wonderful writer on the things of the soul John Bunyan is, till you make John Bunyan one of your son's choicest authors for all his days.

You will do this if you will tell him how and when this same Captain Credence with his crimson colours first led the van in your salvation.

You will tell him this with more and more depth and more and more plainness as year after year he reads his _Holy War_, and better and better understands it, till he has had it all fulfilled in himself as a pickt captain and good soldier of Jesus Christ.
