Parents’ Letters

Wolverhampton.
Sir, ―By the way, I have to thank you for the kindness that you have shown towards my son Thomas, for sending him the Testament, and I can assure you that he will always take the greatest care of it as long as he lives. I should be very pleased if you have another one to spare; I would accept it with thanks for my next son Joseph. ―Yours truly, Father of the Boys, Alfred N―.

Dear Sir, ―I write to thank you for the New Testament you so kindly sent to my son Jack some few days ago. I should be very pleased if you would kindly forward one more for my son Fred. Again thanking you. ―Yours truly, F. C― (only parent).
I have no room for more. These letters all come, and hundreds more, from the vast centers of labor in the middle of England. We have sent thousands to the children of the workers of England, and shall continue to do so as long as God permits. Soldiers’ letters and letters from workers I have no room for now. Nor can I print any of the many letters of sympathetic help I have by me. I wish the “Message” was twice the size at Christmas time.
I have just read a most touching letter from a backslider which I cannot print, but in an extract he says, “Will you kindly ask the dear Lord to make me happier in soul, and ease my bodily pain, for only God knows what I am passing through?” Pray for him.
Yours for Christ’s sake,
Heyman Wreford.
