The Welcome Gift

PTE. E. R. SAYS: ― “Just a line to thank you so much for your welcome gift, which I received a few days ago. I shall always cherish it, and think of him Who did his best to satisfy the many wishes of a soldier who perhaps is in the thick of a fight, or resting after a well-fought victory. Early every morning, just before attending the ‘first parade,’ physical jerks at 7 a.m., I read a small portion from your book, ‘The Holy Bible,’ and it makes me put all my heart into my work and drill. ―E.R.”
A PRIVATE WRITES: ― “Please excuse me for not writing before as we have been on a charge and were successful. Now I must thank you very much for the Testament; it was safely received before going into action.”
A GUNNER WRITES: ― “Will you please accept this P.O. for 5/- in Christ’s name, to send the Word of Life to my comrades in arms. I should like you to spend it in Testaments, and to send them to the Front. I was reading one of your booklets, entitled ‘A Message from God,’ and I saw that the need was great. ―G.H.”
