Letter CVI.2367
To a soldier.
I have many reasons for
thanking God for mercies vouchsafed to me in my journey, but I count no
blessing greater than the knowledge of your excellency, which has been
permitted me by our good Lord’s mercy. I have learnt to
know one who proves that even in a soldier’s life it is possible
to preserve the perfection of love to God,2368
| 2368 Among others,
conspicuous instances of the statement in the text are Cornelius,
St. Martin, John de Joinville, Peter du Terreil, Sieur de Bayard,
Henry Havelock, and Charles Gordon. |
and that we must mark a Christian not by the style of his dress, but by
the disposition of his soul. It was a great delight to me to meet
you; and now, whenever I remember you, I feel very glad. Play the
man; be strong; strive to nourish and multiply love to God, that there
may be given you by Him yet greater boons of blessing. I need no
further proof that you remember me; I have evidence in what you have
done.E.C.F. INDEX & SEARCH
