A Letter From a Belgian Soldier

“Monsieur, ―In the midst of the tumult I am happy to have a moment for you, to send this little witness of sincere affection, and to tell you above all how happy I am in Jesus, our King and Saviour. What a companion! What peace His presence procures for us in the midst of the trials and dangers which surround me daily! I prove every day His care. How many times I have felt myself in the shadow of His hand, and His mighty arm! I pursue my way in joy, rejoicing in an incomprehensible peace. He has been my salvation, and He is my strength. I write you, my dear sir, for this reason, to exchange some letters, and to speak of the love of our Heavenly Father, for it is a great consolation to me, who am between life and death. ―J. J. C., 3e Bataillon, 4e Compagnie. Armιe Belze en Campagne.”
If any of my readers would like to write to this dear soldier, I will give them his address, or forward letters.
SOLDIERS! —You cannot be saved without Christ. “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31).

“Thank you very kindly for all you have done for us, but we want more. WE ARE GOING OUT TO FACE DEATH. We want something for our souls.”
This was a Tommy’s comment on a social entertainment to which he had been invited. Yes, they want soul-food. Help us to send it to them. Another Tommy writes: “only God’s Word tells a man that he is a lost sinner. His fellow-sinners and his own heart tell him that he is not so had after all. Happy the sinner who sees in the Word of God that he is already lost... There are many candidates for hell. Satan has many zealous agents, and the Lord has many half-hearted servants.”
