His was one of those “w ar-time m arriages” and had resu ited unhappily as so many of them did. A baby came into th e home while he was away in France, which he re fused to acknowledge, and he said he would kill th e “ other man” . We told him th a t w hat he needed was to accept Christ and, praise God! he did, though le had come in w ith murderous thoughts in his h eart. We prayed w ith him for his "wife and in th ree or four days she came back to him, he forgave her, and they are now happy in a reun ited home.
