Troops going up the Rue Marechale

While we were in Bruges we had opportunities of realizing in some measure the effect the German occupation had on the people. It was a time of terrible trouble, often a time of cruelty, always a time shadowed over by the hateful presence of an enemy. Our English prisoners of war were constantly paraded for the Belgians to see.
When deliverance came the people were almost delirious with joy. Today, when they speak of those four terrible years, you can see how hard their servitude was by their thanksgivings for deliverance.
And so with us, enslaved by Satan, led captive by the devil at his will, a far harder taskmaster than the Germans, for years and years, we were freed by the Lord Jesus, delivered from the wrath to come, taken out of the place of bondage and of death, and the song of our redemption was heard in heaven. He gave the song, and He gave the power to sing.
Havildar R. G. Moses
Our dear brother, Mr. Piper, sent me the letter about Havildar R. G. Moses’ death, published in April “Message,” and this is an extract from one of the Havildar’s letters:—
“The trials of warfare have been severe, difficulties and dangers have surrounded me on every hand, yet I have had no fear. I thank you for remembering me before the Lord. We may go to the firing line soon, and I desire that I may glorify His Holy Name in life or in death. I feel His presence every moment around me, and His promises—true and wonderful—I prove every day.”
This dear soldier was delivered from the bondage of Hinduism and brought to Christ.
