The Text in the Trench

By:
A dear worker at the Front, an Army Scripture Reader, writes to me: — “It was whilst having a chat with B―one day that a soldier said to me, ‘I suppose you hear some strange stories.’ I replied that I did. ‘Well,’ he replied, I’ll tell you another. Going into the trenches one day someone had traced with empty cartridge cases, stuck in the mud, this text:
“Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.”
So I asked the soldier if he could say that. His reply was, ‘Yes, the best trench I had was the Lord.’ So we shook hands, as we both knew our Lord, also B―, in fact B―was simply delighted. I have four cases of seekers after Christ. I verily believe they are hot far from the kingdom. Please pray.”
