From a Lad at the Front

“Just a line or two as I want you please to send me one of your khaki Testaments, as I have not got the Word of God. I have been reading one of your books, “A Message from God.” Do you know, before I enlisted I was a good Christian lad, but I fell off from God. But I thank Him that one of your books came into ray hands. I have been reading the story about ‘Comrades True’― about the Salvation Army lads―it brought to my mind when I used to stand in a Salvation Army open-air ring, and of the many times when I have sung,
‘The Lord’s my Shepherd, I shall not want.’
But I thank God I can sing it now from my heart. I am only a young lad, but I am not ashamed of Christ―never, and will never be ashamed of letting my pals know I am a Christian... I shall be very thankful if you will send me one of your Testaments, as I. shall be going into the firing line in a few days’ time and would like one before I go.”―C.E.
