Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Link, Vol. 2: September, 1944 When it is all over, I hope someone will write the story of the superb part the chaplains are playing in this war. Their contribution, as most of you who know them will readily agree, is magnificent. In this war they are really chaplains. Their entire time is given to strictly religious services and ministries. I think this is one of the reasons for the greater popularity of the Bible among you men and women in the armed forces. You not only possess the Book practically every one of you but you are being encouraged by the chaplains to read it, to make it a part of your thinking and your life. I was recently given an abstract of a letter from a soldier in North Africa. He wrote: "We go to church in the field, as you know. Once it poured, when halfway through the service, but no man left. Another time, at ill-fated Faid Pass, church services were held in another manner. We were under artillery fire, and a church assembly was out of the question. But, being quite a determined man, our chaplain solved this by sending a message, together with several Testaments, to the various foxholes. The message requested us to read several verses in the Testament, then pass the note and the book on to the next foxhole. This we did, and the result was an immediate brightening of our outlook. "We didn´t go to church - the Church, that cold, windy Sunday, came to us. In view of what lay in store for us the next week, I appreciate now those few verses from the Scriptures. Incidentally, this chaplain chose to stay on the mountain with both our wounded and some wounded Germans we had taken. He was taken prisoner the night we left our mountain position and cut our way back to our lines through nine miles of enemy-held territory. Everyone misses this chaplain, and he was, and is, one of the sources of inspiration that led our regiment through Foundouk and subsequent actions." I have read literally hundreds of letters written by chaplains to the American Bible Society. They are filled with testimony to the unrivaled usefulness of the little pocket Testaments with which you are supplied.
