CHARLEY S. was told to pray and ask Jesus to “write Charley’s name in the Book of Life.” That night the request was included in his simple prayer.
A few nights after, Charley said his prayers at his father’s knee, when it was observed that the new petition was left out. Thinking the omission was due to forgetfulness, he was asked why he had forgotten to ask Jesus to write his name in the “Book of Life,” he replied, in a tone of exultation, “It’s in already!”
