I had a letter this, morning from a father who has a son” in Salonica, and this is what he says: —
Dear Dr. Wreford, — I am writing you to enclose 30s. for your, great and precious work of supplying our soldier and sailor lads with the Word of God, not on our own account, but for my son, who is on Active Service in Salonica, and I think I had better give you his own words. He says: — “I am a bit in credit with my pay and I want you to send for me 30s. to Dr. Heyman. Wreford to use as he thinks best for the soldiers. I will remit it to you on next remittance day; and may God bless the little gift to some of the lads.... You will send this in your name, Dad dear, or let it be anonymous.” The father goes on to say: — “I thank my God for His great mercy to me in His goodness to my boy, who has proved His love and sustaining grace in his trying position, and I don’t see why you should not know how the good God has moved him to this little act of love to his fellow sufferers. I pray our God you are stronger and are proving the all-sufficiency of our Gracious Lord in your great work for Him, and for the dear lads.”
