God in the Shadow

From the Front one writes: ―
“The dear Lord was very merciful to me on the 14th. A piece of shell blew away the front of my leggings, grazing my skin; another piece went clean through my water bottle and all my clothing, making a slight wound just to the right of my backbone, while a third piece pierced my cap, going through the side and coming out at the top without touching my head.”
Another on board H.M.S.― writes: ―
“Quite recently we prepared to go into battle within an hour, and it was foggy, and we each knew that it would be an awful thing at such close distance, but I knew the sweetness of His presence, and I felt calm as at the most quiet time of my life, and was quite willing to leave everything to Him.... We have passed through many dangers, but we meet each night in our Chaplain’s cabin for prayer... Our Chaplain is a sincere Christian and a great help and comfort to us all.” God bless him!
