BROOKLYN, N.Y., MARCH 8TH, 1939

Mr. Alfred J. Gardiner.

Beloved Brother, — I have to thank you for your letter of December 28th. All the news you kindly sent was very interesting.

Our London brethren, especially dear Mr. Lyon, were much on our hearts over last weekend, knowing our dear sister Miss Lyon would be no more among you and that she was to be buried on Tuesday. Mr. Lyon knows of our sympathy and it extends to you all for we know the place our sister had in all your hearts.

From all the information I have I see clearly that the Lord is steadily helping His people in Great Britain and I thank Him daily for this. London seems to receive its share of the “showers”.

The work in this country and Canada continues quite cheering. The increase of ‘fellowship meetings’ is one good sign and, more particularly, considerable ability in a good few brothers to serve in such meetings. I have been moving about considerably with much encouragement. I hope to be at London, Ontario, for three days of meetings at Easter. The interest in Ontario is as cheering as I know of anywhere, I am ^[p. 149] thankful to say. J. W. Devenish is a great help. He is due here — at Westfield — for special meetings over the coming weekend. I hope to be at Rochester. ——— is in the far West and God has blessed him there, especially to young people. During recent months there has been quite a harvest of young people in different parts.

We are thankful to hear of Mrs. Gardiner and your daughters — you all are on our hearts.

My wife would unite in much love in Christ to you all and to the brethren.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.
