“Fight it Out” — “Right Away”

Yes, if you have any wish to be saved, “fight it out,” as this dear officer did at the Front, of whom I will tell you in his own words. It is grand to hear of a man willing to “fight it out,” and not ashamed to own it. Some officers, young or old, are not “out and out”; they believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, go to Communion, but are ashamed to speak of Him. Think of it, whether soldier or officer, are you ashamed of Him, the Lord of glory? This officer was a splendid athlete, and most popular among his men, but not a believer until he fought it out. He says in his letter: “I must tell you my reason for writing; it is a splendid one, you will agree. I have given myself to the Lord—yours and mine. I had been thinking about it for some time, so on Sunday night, in my bedroom at the billet, I fought it out and saw myself without hope, death and hell staring me in the face. I opened my little Testament at the third chapter of John’s Gospel and read until I came to the sixteenth verse. When I reached it, I stopped and read it over several times, and right away saw the truth and believed. Oh! it was so easy, nothing to do but believe. It’s grand to be free. No matter what happens, I know I shall meet my people here or in glory―that word, ‘whosoever,’ meaning me. Many a time have I seen this portion, but it had no message for me, but now all is changed and I praise Jesus’ name every day since.”
There are many more “whosoevers” that want to be saved if only they “fight it out” “right away.” Do not put it off. “Fight it out” today.
