Ready

Miss Agnes Weston tells of a young naval officer who wrote to her just before his first battle: ― “We are going into action tomorrow, and I’m jolly glad. I want to fight for my country and for the right. I know that I may never come out alive, but, living or dying, Christ is with me.”
In the conflict which followed the young officer was mortally wounded, but there was no shadow of fear on his face as he passed through the dark valley, for the Lord had whispered, “Courage; be of good cheer!”
