>>10 Little Christians standing in line
>>1 disliked the preacher, then there were 9
>>9 little Christians stayed up very late
>>1 overslept Sunday, then there were 8
>>8 little Christians on their way to Heaven
>>1 took the low road and then there were 7
>>7 little Christians chirping like chicks
>>1 disliked music, then there were 6
>>6 little Christians seemed very much alive
>> but one lost his interest then there were 5
>>5 little Christians pulling for Heaven's Shore
>> but one stopped to rest, then there were 4
>>4 little Christians each busy as a bee
>>1 got his feelings hurt, then there were 3
>>3 little Christians knew not what to do
>>1 joined the sporty crowd, then there were 2
>>2 little Christians, our rhyme is nearly done
>> differed with each other, then there was 1
>>1 little Christian can't do much 'tis true
>> brought his friend to bible study- -

>> then there were 2 earnest Christians,
>> each won one more
>> That doubled the number, then there were 4
>>4 sincere Christians worked early and late
>> Each won another then there were 8
>>8 splendid Christians if they doubled as before
>> In just so many Sundays, we'd have 1,024
>> In this little jingle, there is a lesson true,
>> You belong either to the building
