Goodbye
Good-bye, dear reader, for another month. Remember our daily needs to carry on this work. Remember us in your prayers to God. Pray that every Testament sent may win a soul for Christ, and that every parcel may be richly blessed. We are told that there are a few in each regiment standing boldly for the truth. Let us help them, for
The Word of God commands us.
The souls in need entreat us.
The love of Christ constrains us.
The Diary of a Soul
By The Editor
AT the desire and suggestion of the War Office there has been an alteration made in the invitation post-card which we are sending to the soldiers and sailors. The postcard, as it is printed below, has the sanction of the War Office authorities, so it may be used freely by workers among the soldiers and sailors, and by the men themselves.
During the last two months 6,000 of these cards were sent to us, and to every one we sent a Testament. If anyone has not received their Testament it is either because of an insufficient address, or because they are wounded and in hospital, or that they have fallen on the field of battle. If those who have not received their Testaments will send to me again one shall be posted at once. I am so thankful that the officers are writing for Testaments as well as the men. One day last week I had requests for Testaments from nine lieutenants and three captains. This is the card we are willing to send in packets to workers or to the men themselves: ―
AN INVITATION TO, EVERY SOLDIER AND SAILOR
This Card is sanctioned by the War Office Authorities “The Firs,” Denmark Road, Exeter, England.
DEAR FRIEND,
If you have not a Testament and want one to fit your pocket, I will give it to you: Please fill in the space below with your NAME, RANK and UNIT, and post this card. Do not mention your Brigade or Division.
Yours for Christ’s sake, HEYMAN WREFORD.
Name, Rank and Unit...
A Major write: ― “I beg to acknowledge, with many thanks, the parcel of books, etc., which will be distributed among the men today after church parade.”
A Christian soldier writes: ― “I beg to acknowledge, with many thanks, receipt of the New Testament. I am a Roman Catholic, but appreciate your generosity, and will treasure your gift and ask a blessing on your good work. ―J.S.”
