The Antidote―the Word of God

More and more is it pressed home upon me the need of the Word of God for men today. A dear sergeant writes me from the Front saying: ― “Thank you very much for the box of Gospel literature I received today. It is always a joy to receive it.... I have had some wonderful times. Two men not long ago came out for the Lord. As they were going to the trenches in a few days we met together before they went. It was a cold, frosty night, but we went into a plowed field and had prayer together before parting... I am sending you a photo of myself and my little house under the apple tree, called ‘Ebenezer Villa.’ You will notice in the doorway a box containing some of the Gospels, Testaments, and literature you send me from time to time. I put it there so that the men passing by may take one. I must now close, thanking you very much for the parcels. How the soldiers love to have them! God bless all who help you in sending to us.”
Is not this encouragement, dear friends, for you to continue sending? We had a splendid response from our Christmas readers. More than six hundred parcels given. I asked for a thousand. Thank God for what He sent; the others will come in January. Two evenings ago our dear workers were here until twelve o’clock at night, and one hundred and ninety-one parcels were got ready for the post. Evenings like this are often necessary to supply the parcels needed. We are all in earnest, dear friends, as to our desire to send out the Word of God.
