Harold McKnight's Divine Protection in Battle

“One day, when they were ordered to advance, the barrage fire of the other side swept the ground with awful destruction. Men seemed to fall as grass before the mowing-machine. Then the company to which he belonged moved forward. For a moment the firing seemed to cease, and the next rain of shells went over their heads and fell to the rear of them. No one could account for this, on natural grounds, the speaker said, for the barrage fire is supposed to sweep every inch of territory as it moves forward, but he knew that God's protecting hand had been over him. ... At one time, the speaker said, he sat down between two men, when a shell came across. It burst. One piece killed the man on one side of him, and then it continued on its deadly mission and hurled the man on the other side into eternity. But the speaker was unhurt. How this happened he could not explain. No one could. But he could say that he knew that God had taken care of him, and he acknowledged the hand of his heavenly Father in the preservation of his life. — Millennial Star 80:12”
