All your gifts, dear friends, are registered in heaven. You have strengthened our hands and given us the means of working in this way for the Lord. The importance of the work is increasingly manifested. We are sending out close on three hundred parcels every month, and night after night our dear friends come and pack, and “their labor is not in vain in the Lord.” From all parts we are getting encouragement. Requests for parcels come from workers at home and abroad. We have never refused a request yet, and we hope the time will never come that we shall have to say we cannot send. If any of my readers have friends or relatives in the Army or the Navy who are willing to work for Christ in distributing His Word and books that speak about Him, would they kindly send the full address to me, and I will send a parcel.
I have never had a work for God that I have loved more than this. And if it is my last work for Him, His holy name be praised for having allowed me to do it for Him. I am always wanting Gospels and the Testaments that fit the soldiers’ pockets. They are hungering for the Word of God. I have sent away more than thirty thousand Gospels and Testaments, and I am always wanting more. Do send me the means to get more. It is for Christ, and those for whom He died, that I am pleading. You have husbands, and sons, and brothers at the Front, or on the seas―some saved and some unsaved. In watering others, you shall be watered yourself. A Testament you help to send may find its way to one you love, and God may save their soul. I want ten thousand “How Can I Be Saved?” badly, and thousands of “Message from God” (the price Isaiah 25/-per 1:000), and any gospel books in English or French suitable.
Christ is coming! Death is reaping a terrible harvest on every wounded hands of the Redeemer are stretched out over the world people, “Go ye, and preach the gospel to every creature”―preach you send and by the help you give.
He says to the sinner, “Come unto Me, and I will give you rest.” Will you help them to come by sending His invitation to them?
Yours for Christ’s sake,
Heyman Wreford
