What We Must Do

We must pray for them, and give them the Word of God. We must thank God that in the ranks there are real men of prayer, working unceasingly for the salvation of their comrades. Six thousand soldiers are writing me every month for a Testament, and I wish it were sixty thousand. Through the kindness of friends I have been able to supply all who have sent. A dear Christian in Australia has enabled me to purchase eighteen thousand Testaments. A mother sends me a gold lever watch that belonged to her daughter now in heaven, and wants me to sell it to send Testaments to the soldiers. A Christian in the North of England sends me a spade guinea to get Testaments. Children are sending their pennies, women their jewels, for Christ’s sake. Will you help to win these men for Christ? Will you do what you can to put a Testament in the pocket of a soldier? For 5/- you can send a parcel to the Front, for £5 I can get one thousand Testaments. Millions are longing for the precious truth. A dear friend sends me the following: ―
“I Have Found Jesus”
“I have found Jesus.” Now these are words I have just read (September 15th) from a dear soldier at the Front. He adds: “I have found the great truth at last, out in the trenches,” and yet some people at home, in unrepenting England, are saying, “We have done enough; we are tired of helping to save souls.” Tired! tired of working for God? Shame on you. Turn to God yourselves and then by His loving mercy and grace seek to win others whilst there is time. Even if it were only this one soul who has found Jesus, would it not be worth while sending thousands of Testaments to the Front? Now a million more men are called by the War Office. Think a minute―one thousand thousand—and then think again, “How can I help to supply them with God’s Word?” Dr. Wreford must receive money to buy the Testaments as well as money to send them. Pray, pray, that you may no longer be tired, but become vigorous to help him; or alas! you may be one of such of whom it was said by an Indian gentleman speaking of England, “I am sending my son to England to be educated lest he should become a Christian.” Yes, thousands have become Christians in India and China owing to the Word of God taken to them by our missionaries, and hundreds of our dear soldiers and sailors are turning to God in this War owing to the Word of God as well. Therefore, dear readers, hasten to help that many more may be led to say with truth, “I have found Jesus.”

P.S.―Second thought. These same words were said two thousand years ago by a man called Andrew. He went to find his brother Peter, and said, “We have found the Messiah” (which means Christ, i.e., Christ Jesus), so he brought him to Jesus (John 1:41-42). Will you not, dear soldier, seek your own brother or fellow soldier and bring him to Jesus, and thus save a soul?
