The Daily Mail

I wish my reader could sit by my side while I open my daily letters for a week. There would be no hesitation about your giving then. You would do as that dear working man did who gave his savings to send eight thousand Testaments to the soldiers, and those two dear teachers who gave enough to send four thousand each. You would do as that father did, who gave us one thousand Testaments as a thank offering for a safe voyage given to his soldier son. You would emulate the widow who sends her mite, and the school children who give their pennies, and the mother who 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. The watch cost £11 17s. 6d., and is as good as new, only having been used six months. (I should be glad if some kind friend would make an offer for it.) You would do as thousands have done, help on the work by practical sympathy and prayer. I wish I could write a book containing the story of the giving of the last two years. Not only the gifts of money and jewels, but the priceless gifts of Christian love repeated over and over again. If my poor prayers can bring a blessing to them, they will be blessed indeed.
