Gunner Frank E. B—, of—the Tank Corps, B.E.F., writes: ―
Dear Sir, “I, received a letter yesterday from a dear old Christian friend in Scotland, and enclosed was one of your pamphlets, ‘A Message from God.’ It was very helpful and encouraging to read the experiences of some of our brave Christian comrades. A Christian’s life in, the Army is not an easy one, ‘but if God be for us, who can be against us?’ I also read in your interesting book that, you would send a Testament. I should be very pleased with one if you could spare me one. I, like many others of our brave lads, am away from dear ones at home. I have a dear wife and child, and mother and father, but although many miles apart, we are under the wings of our Saviour Jesus Christ; and to those who put their trust in Him, the burden of life is not so heavy. Sir; I can tell by your pamphlet you are a busy Christian man, but if, you have a moment to spare I should like you go send a message of comfort to my loved ones at home who feel it very much at my absence.
“I wish more men would realize the love of our Saviour. I myself find out what a great thing companionship is in the Army, and if at times I cannot be with earthly companions, I know that my Heavenly Father is always with The, and that He is the best of all friends.
Please excuse me if I have taken up any of your valuable time, but it is a treat to write to Christian friends about the love of God. ―Yours sincerely in Christ, F. S. B―.”
We are always ready to write or get some Christian friend to write to the loved ones of the soldiers if they wish it. Miss A. A. L―. wrote to Mrs. B―. Anxious wives have written to us, about their souls, and we wish more would.
