A Touching Letter
THIS morning my post brought me a most touching letter. It moves one’s heart to read it. I want you to read it with me and let us praise God together for it: ―
“Dear Dr. Wreford and Brother in Christ,”
It is with a heart full of gratitude and joy to God that I sit down to write you this morning. I am sure you will be able to join me in thanking Him for His wondrous and preserving care over us in once more bringing us together (my wife and I) after an absence of over four years. I have been privileged to write to you and to join in the very beautiful work in which you are engaged whilst I was in Eastern waters. It is the desire of my wife and myself to send this sum of £10 as a thank offering to God, for His love in bringing us together once more. We feel confidence that you will put this gift to the very best advantage in the work of God, and so we can unite together in silently preaching the Gospel to yet another number of these who are outside the fold. We pray that God in His mercy will abundantly bless you and those engaged with you in furthering this work of love, and trust that we each one may see and hear of great blessing. God bless you, dear Doctor Wreford, and may He still continue to preserve you during this very trying time, and keep us looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our Faith. With love to the end, I remain, yours very sincerely in Christ, B. W―.”
Our dear brother has indeed cheered our heart. May his gift and his dear wife’s, sanctified as it is as a thank-offering to God, be used mightily by God. It will send very many Testaments and parcels to the brave men on land and sea. It will lift up our hearts in praise to God for giving this light of Gospel love to shine out for Him in these dark days. I have felt sure that the efforts of Satan to stop our work among the French soldiers would be thoroughly defeated and that God would bring untold blessing out of the opposition.
