Mr. L. E. Samuels.

Beloved Brother, — Thanks for yours of the 22nd and I send a line to say that my wife and I are very sympathetic with you all in relation to Mrs. Samuels’ operation. We earnestly trust that through God’s mercy she has come through the ordeal successfully and that she may regain strength steadily. Our prayers will go up to this end.

I wish to thank her, Rhoda, and you all for your great kindness to me while with you. The good care expended on me helped greatly in the services I sought to render to the saints.

I am thankful you had a good journey back and found such cheer on the way. I was assured you would find joy among the gatherings visited. No doubt you will attend the Regina meetings. These five special meetings are much on our hearts. J.D. will not be back in time for Nanaimo. D.R. had written me about the merciful deliverance of the D——— s. We were indeed moved to thank God. What an anxious experience they must have had.

News from Great Britain is very cheering. This week several letters came telling of steady divine support. The pressure will be greater now than it was when the letters were written, but still the spirit of dependence on God will go on. God is evidently in the rapid military movements to humble the nations as in Napoleon’s time. If it is the beginning of the end we may look for translation soon, but if the testimony, as after the wars of 120 years ago, is to go on there will be a stop or definite modification of the present scourge, and our part is to persevere as seeing Him who is invisible.

There is steady cheer here. Special meetings in Philadelphia the weekend before last and at Cranford last weekend were very well supported of the Lord.

My wife unites in love in Christ to Mrs. Samuels, your family and to all the brethren.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.
