To the Editor of the F.P. Magazine.
DEAR SIR—I received the following letter from a prisoner of war in Germany, and I thought it would interest your readers to know that there are some among them who “remember Jerusalem” and who ask for the prayers of those who wrestle at the Throne of Grace.—I am etc., A READER.
My Dear Friend—I hope these few lines will find you in the best of health, they leave myself and W. in a good measure of health. By the time you will have this note the Communion will be on or past. How I wish I was there! but I know that you will be remembering me, though I am not worthy that any would think of me. How I miss you all! But if I had that Friend that sticketh closer than any brother I would not lack. But oh! how I lack everything that is to the glory of God. I had two of your letters. I hope you received those I sent you. I am sorry that I am not able to write you oftener. Give my love to . . . and . . ., also to other friends. I only had one short note from . . . . I hope he hasn’t forgotten me though I am not worth being remembered. It is so hard to be separated from friends, but what is it compared with being separate from Christ? The lost world is separate from Christ. May God grant us to be among Christ’s flock. Tell Mr. . . ., London, I would like to get a few lines from him. I should be thankful to be alive and have another opportunity to seek preparation for eternity. All my fondest love, etc. . . .
