A Gunner’s Letter

B.E.F., France
“Allow me to offer you my many thanks for the parcel which I received last night, containing postcards. They are both helpful to me and to the boys out here. You would be surprised to see how, when we have a few spare moments, they are devoted to hymns and prayer; even the biggest gambler joins us, and now that we have a God-loving Sergeant over us, he helps us well, so wherever there is a Testament needed, your post-cards will come; in to action.
“Again I thank you for your extreme kindness both to the boys and myself―they all thank you from the bottom of their heart for such a kind gift. It is more than tongue can tell to see the gladness shine in their eyes since I started this little work for Christ.”
“So may God bless you in all your work and undertakings for us out here. Letters and suchlike are as good as bread and meat to us more so when· they bring Christ with them. — Your brother in Christ,
W. R. C—”
The Diary of a Soul
By the Editor
TODAY we have received two hundred and thirty-two post cards from two hundred and thirty-two soldiers asking us for Testaments. These requests have been our daily joy for four years now, and thank God we have heard of great blessing. It is the Word of God that is needed now more than anything else, Christ and the Book that speaks of Him. We must keep this before us day by day, and never rest until we rest with God forever. We must be unceasing in our efforts to combat, not only the sin of the streets but the sin of unbelief that is dishonoring the Sacrifice of Christ and casting derision on Gethsemane and Calvary.
