The Young Soldier
A dear Christian friend wrote to me: ―
Dear Dr. Wreford,
The enclosed may be useful to you. I mean the experience contained in the lines found written in the trunk of a young soldier after he was shot through the bead. I knew him when he was a small boy. He was on the eve of coming home to see his parents. The dear mother, with streaming eyes, held me with both hands and said, while the tears rolled down her cheeks, “You can’t tell what a comfort these lines have been to me.”
Yours very sincerely in Christ, J. K. McE —.
