True Help,

A story of our civil war has embalmed
the memory of an unknown army chaplain
who preached Christ without words.
Tue chaplain came upon q soldier lying
wounded on a battlefield, and, seeing that
the end was near, said. Would You like
me to read you something from shS b4-
ble?"
But all the wounded soldier could an
swer was, II N so thirsty! l would rather
have drink of water.
The chaplain quickly fetched him some
water. and then. When the soldier asked
for something under his head. he took OFF
his own overcoat and rolled il. up TO make
a pillow
If only had something over me-
moaned the soldier. Il am 50 cold
In a moment the chaplain had taken Oft
his undercoat to cover the sufferer. and as
ne was doing so the dying man looked up
IN his face and said:
