SEPTEMBER 16TH, 1940

Mr. S. McCallum.

Beloved Brother, — A cable received on Saturday says the brethren in London are meeting as usual, only numbers are smaller because of travelling difficulties, and ‘God’s promises increasingly precious, all brethren send love’.

This cheers us much, I need not say. There is no confirmation so far of any of the brethren in Great Britain being damaged physically. Dr. Ross’ house in Bournemouth was much damaged. He and his family were drinking a cup of tea in some outside part — a very unusual thing — they and the maids, who were, I believe, in the kitchen, were practically unhurt. This is striking and assuring.

There is very good news in several letters received from Australia and New Zealand this morning. Five new meetings in Sydney are going on well, thank God.

My wife unites in love in Christ to Mrs. McCallum and you and the children.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.
