BROOKLYN, N.Y., FEBRUARY 16TH, 1941

Mr. W. Stanford.

Beloved Brother, — Many weeks have passed since your letter was received but I was thankful to have all the news you gave. Elapsed time since it was received makes what you recorded almost ancient! What happenings there are! But nothing without God, and the events which affect His people are all before Him — time making no difference. The saints are all in His school and the result in education will appear in the light of love in that day; and as regards the sufferings, there will be no regrets then.

The experiences of our beloved brethren in Great Britain are being written on the hearts of the saints everywhere. As regards those who specially know the brethren in the suffering areas, it may be truly said they are “written in our hearts, known and read of all men”. The censors and telegraph operators are constantly reading much the like of which, perhaps, they never read before. Besides, God’s kingdom is not without its chroniclers, and the sufferings of the saints by them are indelibly written.

Reports that we are constantly receiving from England are most cheering, and we all thank God for the remarkable endurance and the steady persistence in the service of God marking the brethren. In our houses and in the gatherings what we hear occasions continual thanksgiving and prayer. I was glad to see a copy of your verses on the crisis. They are very appropriate at the moment.

My wife unites in love in Christ to you and yours and to all the dear brethren.

Affectionately yours in Him,
James Taylor.
