Dear Soldier, ―Believe me, it is not religion, nor Christianity, but Christ and Christ only, Who can save you. Who is Christ, you ask? Christ is the anointed Son of God Who gave Himself an offering for sin, instead of you, the sinner. Said a soldier to Mr. Varley, of the S.C.A.: “I want to be converted, how can I be?” “By coming to the Lord Jesus Christ.” There is none other. “All power” is given unto Him to convert, regenerate or turn round the poor sinner―as you and I are―and make him a new creature by His own Spirit, the Holy Ghost. If you do not know Christ, you know nothing to save you. Religion cannot save you. Christianity cannot save, but Christ, the blessed Saviour, can and will, if you will only “Come.” Come and ask Him now. Do as Dr. H―did. When he was a young man, his eye having caught that text in John 6:37: “Him that cometh unto Me, I will in no wise cast out,” he says: “I flung myself on my knees, and cried, ‘O, Christ, I come to Thee,’ and fifty-years have passed since then, and no one has been able to pluck me out of His hand.” Dear friend, soldier, or sailor, or citizen, no one can pluck you out of His hand―the hand of the Lord Jesus Christ―if only you come. Oh! come quickly to Him whilst there is time―ere it be too late.
