Two Brothers Die Together

When talking together in a trench in France, two brothers were killed by a German shell. A third brother, in the same company wrote home to his parents: —
“Try and bear it, though I know it is very hard. They never had any pain, for they were killed instantly, both doing their duty in the trenches. It was done by a German shell bursting in the trench as they were talking to each other. I went and saw them buried last night.”
Listen to this brave, last letter from a son to his mother: —
“We are all in the hands of God, who knows the end from the beginning, and it is good to feel that we are in His hands.”
When he had sent the letter this young officer went forward to his death, and we trust and believe to endless life beyond.
