A Thankoffering

A mother writes: ― “Now as a thank-offering to God for all. His goodness to me, I am sending thirty shillings, so that one hundred more dear boys and men may have a chance of having a New Testament.
“My two sons have been at the Front ever since 1914. My eldest is now in Hospital expecting his discharge December 6th. My youngest is still at the Front, and thank God, safe and well. I would like you to send him a Testament. He is a good lad, but we know that is not everything. I know that you will pray for him that the Holy Spirit will take the Word of Life and use it that he may indeed drink of it and live forever to the glory of God. Please just put his name and address inside, and then ‘Drink F―, and live forever to the glory of God.’ Nothing else, please. We know that God will work out His own plan; we will just trust, wait and pray.”
A Letter to Miss A. A. L.
France, July 30th 1918.
“...The dear Doctor sent me two parcels of Testaments and tracts, one lot in French, and one in English. God bless him.
“....I am pleased to say we are having splendid meetings lately, the other night a French soldier came to one of the meetings, I gave him a Testament and some tracts written in French, he seemed delighted. Truly God’s Spirit is working in our midst, may it please our God to pour down a mighty blessing... Praise Him, I have given quite a lot of French Testaments out, and the French civilians round received them gladly, some took two, so as to give one to their soldier son or husband, so I just gave God the glory. He is opening up the way, what a wonderful Saviour. ‘Whatsoever ye ask in my name, ye shall receive.’ Truly He is answering our prayers on behalf of the French soldiers, wonderful power―prayer and faith... Asking God’s richest blessing upon you and yours. Kind wishes to the dear doctor. ―In Christ’s service, W. J.”
