The Chocolate Soldier, a missionary recruitment pamphlet written by Charles Studd in 1912
Charles Thomas Studd, often known as C. T. Studd (1860- 1931), was a British cricketer, missionary, and a contributor to The Fundamentals.
Studd emphasised the life of faith, believing that God would provide for a Christian's needs. Studd believed that God's purposes could be confirmed through providential coincidences, such as a sum of money being donated spontaneously at just the right moment. He encouraged Christians to take risks in planning missionary ventures, trusting in God to provide.
Studd wrote several books, including The Chocolate Soldier, or, Heroism: The Lost Chord of Christianity (1912) and Christ's Etceteras (1915). Studd's essay The Personal Testimony of Charles T. Studd became part of the historic The Fundamentals: A Testimony To The Truth.
