BROOKLYN, N.Y., JUNE 19TH, 1940

Mr. E. McCrea.

Beloved Brother, — Your letter of February was gladly received, but I regret it has remained so long unanswered.

My wife and I were glad to hear of Mrs. McCrea, you and of the brethren at Wellington and elsewhere in New Zealand. Yours and other information shows plainly that the work of God in New Zealand goes on steadily and we always thank God for this.

You are now in our hearts specially, as our beloved brethren in Great Britain and elsewhere, on account of current pressure. There can be no doubt that God has a hand in it, preparing His people for their translation to heaven. Besides, He has a wider outlook than we and is allowing sin to manifest itself in forms indicated in the prophetic word. It is our wisdom and for our peace to be patient in it all, praying for all men, especially now the government in Great Britain. God has much precious property there and we are looking earnestly to Him to protect it.

The work of God in America is occasioning much cheer.

^[p. 184] There is remarkable energy in arranging for special meetings, and good attendance and interest marking them. Last month I attended meetings in Winnipeg and Rochester. The meetings of the north-west were well represented in the former and there was much blessing from the Lord. At Rochester, the middle west and east came out well, a large number coming together. Mr. Myles, Mr. Hardwick and most of those who minister were present and the Lord helped us as looking at the remnant in Isaiah. During the first week of July, meetings, God willing, are arranged for at Montreal, Minneapolis, Regina, Berkeley and Nanaimo.

God is helping us much in this area. The saints are much together.

My wife and I keep well and we trust Mrs. McCrea and you are. Our love in Christ to you both, also your niece and nephew and to all the brethren.

Affectionately yours in Him,
James Taylor.
