BROOKLYN, N.Y., MARCH 1ST, 1940

Beloved Brother, — I am sending by registered mail three more sets of Notes for the Australian volume — making thirteen including those taken to you by Dr. Ross. Dr. Elliott has sent you notes of his address at Sydney. There is now one set missing, the first reading on ‘Spirituality’ on Exodus 17. I have written three times to Sydney about this paper and I hope to receive it at least during this month and I shall, God willing, revise it and send to you as soon as possible. I am assuming that ‘Solomon’s Workmen’ coming out soon will render haste unnecessary on the book on ‘Spirituality’. However, you should have had all a month ago were it not that the reading mentioned above had not come.

I have been working on Notes of French meetings and ten sets were sent about three weeks ago and the remaining five — which came to hand this week — will, God willing, be sent within a few days.

I gather you obtained enough to cover expenses of the two Australian addresses published in French — otherwise I should gladly help. I communicated with Mr. Malecot in regard of the publishing expenses of the French Notes.

I am thankful to hear of the young brothers and look for results as accrued from the previous war.

^[p. 171] I am somewhat uneasy as to those who claim total exemption on the ground of conscience. I cannot see how an enlightened believer can seek exemption on conscientious grounds from work for the Government which he would be free to undertake — if he needed it for a living — from an ordinary employer.

With love in Christ to you all.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.

PS — Thanks for note as to ‘Names of Divine Persons’ also the ‘sheets’ of it. I shall write you later as to this, as I have not had time to look at them. I am trusting as to your judgment — based on demand — as to whether there should be another edition.

Mails are very slow — even air mail from England takes a fortnight to reach us — some twenty days. — J.T.
