S.O.Q., Ward 19, Navy Hospital,
Portsmouth, Va.
DEAR MR. EDITOR:—
I shall thank you for enough spac..
in The Herald to tell my friends about
my stay in this hospital. As many of
you know this is one of the large
Navy Hospitals. The United States
Veterans Bureau also sends many
men seeking hsopitalization here for
treatment.
Nature could not have been kinder
to me than it was in giving such a
delightful day for my trip here. Mrs.
Hall drove me through the country in
the automobile, and I believe I stood
the trip better than had I tried the
train. It did not take me long to yet
settled after reaching this place. A
nice corner room with two windows
was assigned me. The trip did not tiro
me over much, yet I was glad to got
in the bed. Whether this was due to
force of habit after four weeks, or be
cause I was weaker than I realized, 1
have not yet decided.
If I was not afraid of making some
one too hungry I would tell you what
fine things have been placed on my
trays three times a day. Well, should
I eat anything like all the delicious
dishes sent to me on these trays you
can expect me to have to order some
larger pajamas.
The attention given by the person
nell of the hospital i:, all one could
desire. The doctors are very hu
man, and seem to bo men of unusual
ability. They seem to be just as de
voted to their work as our fine doc
tors of the Twin Cities.
Just when 1 will get away is pos
sibly more problematic to me than
any one else because cf the personal
equation. I know lam better, I wras
even before I left home, and I trust
that I will soon be discharged from
here nad will be back home ready to
assume my work.
If I am here another week, I will
write more about this place.
Sincerely yours,
LEON M. HALL.

DEAR BRO.:—
Enclosed find an article our little
paper here so kindly printed as they
do any article. I could not write to
all I desired to last week so if I am
a little late I am sending this trusting
you will have space to publish this
week.
You simply can’t tell how I will ap
preciate it. You friends seem nearer
to me than many place.;, as I had a
happy stay a yea»' as pastor of Ilo«*e
mary circuit several years past. I
write to the paper some along and
only want to encourage a little any
vhere also send a little message to
my friends all at once, and I prniso
Clod for the great power ai d privilege
of the pros3. I certainly desire to
come to Uo'xmary and Uoanoke Ra
pids s j'ii^.'r.u during be yea”, if
so I wi!’ certainly dro» by to see you
friends.
If you can’t print nr\v, I trusc to
send a different article later. With
best wishes for you all a good year in
every way, I am,
Fraternally yours,
A. H. ANDREWS
Happy New Year to All.
I sincerely trust and pray that all
may have a great year in this new
year. Of course many who read this
are Christians and seeking to use the
golden opportunities we have every
day and year to work for our precious
Lord and help souls everywhere on
the way to heaven, but let us all try
to do more than ever. One dear soul
that we all can win with God’s help
is worth more than the world. Life
is a sacred trust and what we make
it, with God’s help. We pass this way
only once. We can never live yester
day over again, but we will face each
deel and the record on the white pages
of eternity as we term it. 0! how
careful we should be, do all of u
think enough about our influence day
by day that wil live on affecting oth
er neverdying souls after death has
claimed us? 1 am not writing this
with the thought that many do not
think of these things, but we that tru
ly try to live the Christian life can
and should be glad to encourage each
other a little, then do our best to lead
the unsaved on every hand to God, and
help them to see the wonderful op
portunities God gives to every single
one. Dear unsaved friend you do not
have the promise of another day, what
if God should call, for your immortal
soul's sake, I beg you to think, and
above all to act, for action is what
counts. Our blessed Lord never re
quires anything unreasonsbb.-, and it
is the Very best, happiest life if there
was no eternity. One minute in the
glory of heaven with all the redeem
ed of the earth will more than re
pay for all we may do or bear here.
It is the most wonderful thing of
life to follow Christ, the King of
Kings and Lord of Lords, to have
his blessed presence and power each
day of life. We do not have to wait
till death for precious blessings all
along the way. Some look at others
too much, look to Jesus, the one who
has all power and will never fail us
as we truly pray and try to follow
Him. It is not near as hard to .fol
low if we are willing, as Satan often
1 lies to tell us. Let us, like the

prophet Daniel, purpose in our hearts
we will do God’s will and work. Dan
iel was one of the most loyal arud de
voted servants of God in all the ca
tegory of greatness. As we read of
bis young man definitely purposing
1 .1 his heart that h ewould not eat the
I King’s meat or drink the wine, may
I we ever be firmly decided not to in
dulge in or follow after anything of
the flesh or of the world that is wrong
or evens hinders us physically or spir
itually from being the best we can
be and doing God’s wondreful work
as completely as possible. Many have
habits that really injure their health
and of course many things injure spir
itually, 0! how it pays to leave these
off.
It is a grea tthing to discover the
helping power of a fixed noble pur
pose. God always helps open the
way to one who has this. The world
really gets out of the way of a man
who knows where he si going.
Of course just making a New Year
or any kind of resolutions will not
save us unless we have been, or unless
we are born again, as Christ so plain
ly told Nicodemus, John 3rd chapter,
3rd verse. He was a good moral man
but morality will not save, only
Christ can do this, but it is left for
all to choose whether they will give
up sin and give their lives to Him,
that they may really be cleansed from
sin and born again. We haven’t space
to speak something of conversion and
many things we may later. I am hap
py' to a:-k all of God’s people to pray
for me, for we all should and do
pray for each other. God graciously
bless every single one, I pray, and
He will help us to have a great year.
Of course, there will be some work
and likely crosses, but a joy in it and
God's way remember is not really
hard, the main ithng is to have a de
Gnitc purpose, pray, look on the
bright side and press right on.
Yours in Christ,
A. H. ANDREW.
