A British officer sat in the room of a friend, awaiting his return. Hardly knowing how to spend the time, he turned over the leaves of a Bible, which lay on the table.
The words caught his eye: " The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin " (1 John 1. 7), and they enabled him to find what he had long desired, " Peace with God."
From that time the name of Hedley Vicars became fragrant amid scenes of war and peace, and through his testimony many others were brought to the Savior.
