Thousands Are Reading the Khaki Testament

An Army Scripture Reader writes: — “Once again I must thank you for three parcels — two I received yesterday, and one a few days ago. I had been without Testaments or Gospels for a few days, so you will see how pleased I was when I returned from the station at 11:30 p.m. to see them. In the dark I could tell they were from you. The need is as great as ever, and one sometimes wonders why so many men are allowed to leave England without being supplied.... I am sure we can help our dear comrades in no better way than by giving them God’s own Word. I have it from men coming from different parts of the Front, that thousands of men are reading it, and it is bearing fruit. A few days ago a man lying outside my hut was reading his Testament. I asked him if Christ was his own Saviour. He was not sure. He was led to Jesus through the Word, and was very happy when he left for the trenches. I am sure God will bless the dear friends who send His Word to lead our brave fellows to rest on His promises. Again thanking you and your friends for prayers and sympathy.”

A Colonel writes for Testaments and “How Can I Be Saved?” He says men all over the camp are asking how they can be saved.
I have hundreds of other letters, but what can I do? I want a volume every month to put them in, and I wish I could do it. It would accentuate the need. It is very real and very terrible. We must have Gospels and Testaments to send. There is real work for God being done by the parcels you have helped to send. You will be blessed for all eternity for what you are helping to do. Please send me the means to get: ―

10,000 Gospels and Testaments |
10,000 “Message from God” each month |
10,000 “How Can I Be Saved?”|
Tracts and Books and Magazines |
Bibles in English and French, not too much worn |
And the needed help to send these parcels away |
Above all, PRAY FOR US.|
“The Bread of Life can ne’er be lost,
Though scattered far and wide;
And thou shalt surely find again
Each crumb thou hast supplied.”
