“After the War, the religious fight will be resumed with greater earnestness than ever. It will be a war against God, a holy war, for which no sacrifices will ever be too great.”
This is an extract from a French paper, Le Droit du Peuple, sent by S. H. Anderson, Secretary, Paris City Mission, to The Christian. Again he tells us:
“On November 21St at a railway-station, a sub-military officer furiously insulted a distributor of Gospels to crowds of soldiers passing through. The opponent stood at one side of the entrance, shouting to the men: ‘Do not accept the book; we are Frenchmen and soldiers, and will have no God!’ Many soldiers obeyed him, but others took the Gospels. To a black soldier the officer cried: ‘Do not accept it; come, and take a glass with me!’
“Satan and his angels are eagerly at work, for his time is limited.”
And we must work. I have many requests for Testaments and Tracts for French soldiers and sailors, and God will yet bless the nations through His work among the soldiers.”
