Dear Dr. Wreford,
“I am forwarding to you £2. Please send five shillings’ worth October ‘Message.’
“My eldest brother was killed in action on September 30th.
“The £1 15s. was forwarded from France to his wife by one of the officers of the same battery.
“His broken-hearted wife has not the heart to spend this money for her own personal use, so she forwards it on to you towards Testaments for the soldiers, that they might know the way of life.
“The Lord’s hand has been very heavy upon her during the past two years. Their only child―a sweet, winsome girl of five years and three months―was removed from their midst two years this month, after only two days’ illness, my brother having to join up the following August. Now her husband, whom his wife idolized, is taken from her.” Still, we know the Lord is good, and He never makes a mistake. “We have the joy and consolation of knowing he is now with the Lord, his Saviour. He has read and passed on many of your booklets, and the ‘Message from God,’ which I used to send out to him regularly.-Yours sincerely in the service of our dear Lord, S. S. S―.”
Let us pray that this consecrated gift may be much used by God. Let us pray for the sorrowing widow that in thus seeking to bless others, the comfort of the Redeemer may be hers.
