From a Lonely Soldier

This touching letter from the trenches reached me a day or two ago, and it tells out in its simple pathos what thousands of men are feeling and needing now: ― “Dear Sir, ―... I have been out here for five months, and I was a bad lad before I came out. I find it is about time I was doing something for my soul, because my pals are falling every day, and I never know when my time will come. We are only fifty yards off the Germans, so I want to be prepared for what may happen. I have but few friends in this world, and often I think of the only One who will be my friend, and that is our dear Lord.” Within half an hour of receiving his letter a Testament was in the post for him. Oh! Friends, you will help me, I know, to send to hundreds of thousands like him who feel their want of Christ.
