Colonel W—, writing to Mrs. Piper, says:—
“I write a few lines to assure you of my deepest sympathy with you at this time of the greatest sorrow that can befal a wife who has been one with her husband in spirit, soul, and body during years of most faithful and devoted service for the Lord their Redeemer. I don’t think anyone on earth, saving yourself, knows of the unceasing and prayerful efforts of your husband for the salvation of our officers and soldiers through the late War, nor yet of his continuous work ever since, even unto his last day on earth. I look on his calling away to be with Christ as a national loss. It seems to us who remain that we can but:11 spare him, but the Lord’s purposes stand and are best. Praying last night I could in a very minor degree contemplate our blessed Saviour meeting him with words, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many.’ I, with many others, pray for your upholding and comforting at this time.”
Mrs. Piper’s address Isaiah 2, Canterbury Road, West Worthing, if any wish to communicate with her in her sorrow.
