Some may think because an armistice has been signed by the Allies, with Germany, and the great war is over, that there is no need of our continued efforts to send Testaments to the troops―but we have signed no armistice with the Devil―we are still at open war with this great enemy of mankind. We hope to be unrelaxing in our efforts on land and sea, to defeat him. He is the foe of God and man―he hates the Lord Jesus, and he hates the Book that speaks of Him.
We love the Lord Jesus, and we love His Word. We are more convinced than ever that these are the last days, and that the last Gospel invitation is going out, “Go into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.” And Christ is coming, and men are dying without Him. On land and sea death is busy―the cannon have ceased their thunder and death no longer haunts the battlefields, but disease is raging all over the world, and thousands are dying.
Earth’s Christless millions need His Word and they must have it. We must still continue to sow the good seed of the Word all over the world. India’s millions need it―Ethiopia is stretching out her hands for God’s Word―the far isles of the sea are crying for it―every continent wants it, and the efforts of God’s servants must be unrelaxing, until Christ comes, to lift the burden of sin from the hearts of men and women by the emancipating power of the Word of God. As long as our friends help us, and God will see to it that they do we are sure, we shall keep our staff of workers busy sending out the Word of God all over the world.
