JULY 26TH, 1941

Mr. S. McCallum.

Beloved Brother, — I much valued your letter telling of the brethren in the west and your work among them. It is quite clear the Lord helped you. Other advices indicate this also. I am thankful you had time to call at so many places. Visiting the brethren and seeing “how they are getting on” is very pleasing to the Lord.

We had been thinking of Mrs. McCallum and we are very glad to know of God’s mercy to her since your return and we trust that she and the dear babe are getting on well through divine care.

It is understood that some of the brothers in your district are affected by current labour conditions, but more recently we hear that the position has been eased. We trust this is so. Surely it is through waves and clouds and storms we are,

under our Father’s hand, led on and as we are faithful, victory is sure.

I am quite restful as deciding not to go to New Zealand this year. A cable and letter from Auckland speak of much sympathy in the brethren. They are postponing the meetings until God makes the way for them. They are, however, thinking of meetings of a local character to be held at the same time.

There is much cheer here, good seasons recently in Philadelphia — the 12th inst. — and Westfield, the 19th.

Letters from Great Britain testify of steady interest and cheer. The brethren are comforted in the recent lull in raids, taking it from God.

My wife unites in love in Christ to you both and the children, also to the brethren.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.
