Solider Finds Comfort in Sunday School Lesson

During the war a man was shot and lay dying in the trenches. A friend leaned over to him and said, 'Is there anything I can do for you?'

He replied, 'No, I am dying.'        -

'Is there anyone I can send a message to for you?'

'Yes, you can send a message to this man at this address. Tell him that in my last minutes what he taught me as a child is helping me to die.'

The man- was his old Sunday school teacher. When the message got back to him, he said, 'God forgive me. I gave up Sunday school teaching years ago because I thought I was getting nowhere. I thought it was no use’
