By C. Serjeant

A boys adventure book linking Christian life to war…FROM CHAPTER 1:

“"Yes, mother. And you remember what he said about being good soldiers of our Lord, don't you?"

"I'm afraid I didn't hear quiteall the sermon," she said, trying to speak lightly. "I wish," she added to herself, "that Jack would stop talking about such things. Especially in public. It would be frightfully embarrassing if he began to discuss religion in front of Lady Hardcastle or Mrs. Lyle-Gault. I'm not sure that they wouldn't think it a joke.'

"Well, mother,"Jack was saying, "that was what his sermon was about--being good soldiers-and somehow I felt I wanted to be one of them-and I am, mother."
