BROOKLYN, N.Y., DECEMBER 8TH, 1940

Mr. L. E. Samuels.

Beloved Brother, — I was glad to receive your letter and the enclosed of Roy Hibbert’s; our brother had written about my going to Calgary at Easter but this will be beyond me at that time, and I am writing him accordingly. I hope Mr Myles will be free to be there.

We got on well at Gothenburg and Talin Table. They had ^[p. 209] some diversity of judgment in regard to the location of the meeting in the latter place but there was every evidence of the Lord’s help at the reading we had.

Mr. L———’s matter can hardly be interfered with by the brethren. Since the change in English law such marriages seem to be recognised. There is a certain weakness connected with the whole matter.

The other matter you referred to could be settled privately if there was evidence of general contrition, especially as the confession was voluntary. I can understand that some would think that publicity given would require the assembly to take notice of it, but I believe Galatians 6: 1 affords the light on such a case.

There have been some cheering letters from England lately which have been circulated so that you will see them. We had a cheering time at Westfield last Saturday also help from the Lord at the Tuesday fellowship meeting here. My wife unites in love in Christ to Mrs. Samuels and you all.

Affectionately yours in Christ,
James Taylor.

PS — We shall be thinking of you all at Los Angeles. I hope to leave for Chicago on the 26th inst. J.D. hopes to be there. Glad of the word from Calgary as to him. Neville Walker and Mabel Coulter were married today. We had a very good meeting to commend them.

Affectionately yours in Christ,
James Taylor.
