Jeremiah 17:12-14 A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.… A London City missionary writes: "One Sunday afternoon, when out visiting, I noticed a soldier. He was in a great hurry, but I soon caught him up, gave him a tract, and, walking with him, spoke to him about his soul. In reply he said, 'I only wish I was the same as I used to be. For four and a half years I was a Christian. I worked for Christ with all my heart, and was never so happy as when so engaged. I made up my mind to enlist. I thought I should get on all right, but when my companions knew I was a Christian, they made it so hot for me I could not stand it, and gave in.' 'But,' said I, 'what would your country think of you if you were a coward in the face of an enemy? And should you fear to face the foes of Jesus Christ? When the greatest danger surrounds you, then it is your duty to be most faithful, not only to King Edward, but to King Jesus.' The young soldier was deeply moved, and said, 'I do thank God for meeting you. I will give my heart to Jesus again, and by God's help I will be true to Him. I will not be a coward again, but will confess Him tonight in the barrack room.'"
