Incidents of the War

“An old preacher once said, ‘Many Christians know how to talk, but few know how to walk.’”―F.S.W.
“IT’S A LONG WAY TO TIPPERARY”
This is a favorite marching song of the soldiers, and it has been sung all over the world. W.E. says: “It may be’ a long way to go’ to any place or thing on earth; but to the place where all hope to go, it is not a long way.”
There are only three steps to heaven.
The first step is “out of self.”
The second step is “into Christ.”
The third step is “into heaven.”
Think of it, dear friend. “It is not a long way to Jesus Christ.” He is close to you as you read these words, and if you call upon Him He will hear you, and if you ask Him to save you, you will be saved.
One dear fellow about this time last year gave his heart to God, and became a bold witness for Him amongst the men who had known him in his sinful life. He went to the Front in August of last year. In the great advance on September 25th he was killed. “We heard from him,” a friend says, “on the 22nd of September. In this letter he said: ‘If I fall, it will be to go straight to glory, where there is no more war.’ We praise God for his bright testimonies, and for what others say of his life lived before them.”
