Voluntary War Work at the Firs, Denmark Road, Exeter

At the commencement of the work I sent off the parcels myself, but one of our dear workers soon came with an offer of help. He was accustomed to packing in his daily work, and he volunteered to do it all for me after his day’s work was done. Soon others came forward to work as well, some to pack the boxes, others to tie them up; some to put the Testaments into envelopes ready for the post, some to put the little labels inside the Testaments, others to put our post-cards into envelopes ready to be sent to workers among the soldiers and to the soldiers themselves, until we had between thirty and forty workers for God.
I do ask you to thank God for these dear workers, and to ask God to bless them. One Christian writes me and says that since she saw their photos in the “Message” she has cut them out and placed them on the wall of her room so that she can pray for them every day.
