BROOKLYN, N.Y., NOVEMBER 6TH, 1935

Mr. E. McCrea.

Beloved Brother, — Thanks for your letter of August 22nd, which I was glad to receive. I sympathise with you and the brethren in New Zealand in the removal of Mr. Robertson of ^[p. 12] Cobden Street, also Mr. Rigg. I remember both, and I am sure they will be missed. Mr. Robertson, however, was of a ripe age, and besides the Lord does not give an account of such matters to us. We have to leave much with Him in this respect.

The meetings at Vancouver were much sustained of the Lord and a generally happy season prevailed. I also visited the other meetings on the Pacific Coast and some in the Middle West on my return journey. Generally there is peace and prosperity in the gatherings in the United States and Canada, for which we are thankful to God. In New York we are considering as a subject for our monthly readings ‘The Wars of the Lord’. There has been definite help from Him in the three readings held so far. We began with Exodus 15.

I note that Mr. Myles has arrived, and I am sure the brethren are enjoying his ministry. We think of him much as labouring among you, also of Mr. Hayward in Australia, and others.

You may have heard that my wife and I have some thought of visiting Australasia next year. Although we have fixed dates tentatively, the matter is still open as we wish to be very sure before the Lord before we finally decide. Our present thought is to leave England on June 5th for South Africa, and we should reach Australia early in August, and New Zealand probably in October. You may be aware that Mr. P. Lyon is leaving England this month, the Lord permitting, for South Africa and Australasia.

My wife unites in love in Christ to Mrs. McCrea and yourself, and to all the brethren in Wellington.

Affectionately yours in Him,
James Taylor.
