When the Mail Came In

“I have the greatest of pleasure, by the help of God, in acknowledging the Testament which I received quite safely yesterday. The men were most surprised when I told them what it was. They were playing a very evil part when the mail came in, and the first things to come out of the bag were Sergt. W―’s and my Testaments. The game was stopped at once, and I am very pleased to say everyone that was present wanted a post-card to send for a Testament. We had a word of prayer, and gave a lot of the post-cards to these men, and I am organizing a little meeting whenever I get the opportunity to help my comrades, who are practically strangers to the Lord’s Word. Sergt. W—and I are together, and we purpose to hold meetings every night, when we are out of the trenches for a rest. Will you then be so kind as to send me a parcel of Gospels, tracts and Testaments? ―Cpl. G. H―.”
