Three Steps

 
I READ of a poor boy who was rather looked down upon for his simplicity. His friends did not know that he possessed true wisdom. One day a friend wished to find out if he had any idea of the way to be saved, so he said to the boy: “It is hard work to get to heaven, is it not?”
“No, it is easy,” the poor boy replied, “there are only three steps: the first, out of self; the second, into Christ; the third, into heaven!”
