What Do the Christian Soldiers Say?

One writes and says: ― “I often think it is the work behind the scenes that God looks upon with His smile.”
Another writes: ― “I feel more and more that the Lord’s work out here is being done by the Lord’s own in the ranks.”
A dear worker says: ― “The little tract, ‘The Sin against the Soldier and the Saviour,’ has been very useful in refuting the damnable heresy preached by enemies of the Cross who would dare to suggest a salvation some other way. They attempt to ‘juggle’ with such a profound fact as the atonement, and in doing so belittle the grand work of redemption on Calvary. May God’s richest blessing rest upon your efforts during the coming months.”
A writer says: ― “The soldier dying in the trenches has no more merit than the engine driver killed in the collision, or the mother dying of heart disease brought on by years of strain. These things do not remit sins, nor win salvation. One death alone avails for these, and in none other is there salvation.”
Another tells us when he was a young soldier, in deep soul trouble, the words of the hymn:
“In my hand no price I bring,
Simply to Thy cross I cling,”
carried a ray of light to his soul. “I sought no other sacrifice,” he tells us, “nor needed one. That sufficed. And further, when I heard that ‘he that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life,’ my every question was settled for time and for eternity.”
A friend writes to me and asks me if I have seen in any shop a very large “In Memoriam” card, about fourteen inches square, intended to be sold to people who have lost relatives at the Front. There is a space on the card for the insertion of the soldier’s name, and underneath is printed these words: ―
“His Country has written his name upon her Roil of Honor because He died for her and God has written his name in the ‘Book of Life’ because he died for Him.”
“It is the most terrible thing we can imagine, and is a most insidious device of the devil to belittle the atonement of our Lord.”
What is the remedy for all this? What can save our dear, brave soldiers from falling into this delusion of the devil? We must give them the Word of God to read themselves. They are wiser than their so-called teachers; they know they need a Saviour.
