BROOKLYN, N.Y., OCTOBER 3RD, 1938

Mr. P. Lyon.

Beloved Brother, — Thanks for your letter of the 16th ult.

There is but little to say as to ———’s answer to my letter. I have no doubt the matter is now fairly clear to him. I am very thankful the meetings are terminated.

Our dear brethren in Great Britain were much on our hearts over here during the past month, and we all can but attribute to our God the great change that has come about. We should be encouraged to pray on that the way may continue for the testimony, for that is the issue. How great a relief if our German brethren were allowed to meet as before! The question is whether they wholly take sides with God in their pressure.

I wrote you as to Detroit and Manchester. There was help from God in both places. A.M.H. seems much freer and is helpful. He will be at the Toronto meetings at the end of this week, God willing. Jim is going to Winnipeg.

The Westfield issue hardly affects anyone in these parts now, thank God. There is thus a more restful condition, but other matters, such as radios, have been up, and God has helped.

^[p. 135] At Indianapolis the withdrawal from Mr. M——— has resulted in the loss of his family — for the moment. This is a sorrow.

My wife’s wound from the fall she had is steadily healing, thank God.

I shall be thinking of you in view of your visit to the Continent.

My wife unites in love in Christ to your sister and you.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.

As regards going direct to London on arrival, I shall have to leave this.

I have promised a weekend to Portsmouth, which could be fitted in on arrival, God willing. I shall consider this later, please God.
