A Soldier's Letter

Dear Dr. Wreford,
I have just come across a letter from a dear Christian soldier whom I knew well, and who was afterward killed in France, and I thought the following part of it might interest the readers of the “Message,” and also be a witness from the writer after his death: ―
“Who hath abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel (2 Tim. 1:1010But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel: (2 Timothy 1:10)). He was born in Bethlehem that He might die on Calvary. He was made under the law that He might bear the direct penalty of the law. He lived over thirty years a sinless life among sinners that He might offer Himself a sin offering for sinners. He became obedient unto death that He might destroy the power of death. And on the third morning a mighty angel rolling away the stone from the mouth of the sepulcher makes the very door of death’s castle the throne whence He proclaims the Resurrection and the Life. ― D.F.”
With kindest regards. Murton Matson.
