MAPLE CREEK, PIAPOT, SASK, AUGUST 25TH, 1941

Mr. Arthur P. Taylor.

My Dear Arthur, — A brief line to say that God is prospering our visits — so far, Maywood, St. James, Winnipeg, Regina and Maple Creek, Piapot. The subjects considered are Priesthood, Preparation, Lamb’s Wife, Confession, Sons of Resurrection, Beginning of our Dispensation, House of God, Deterioration, Hope, Prophetic Ministry.

There has been good attendance and remarkable interest generally. At Maywood there was present some fresh material from Springfield and Indianapolis, and we heard of others in those places that had not come. All this is quite cheering, showing how the work of God goes on although in a small way.

At St. James and Winnipeg I could see gain since May, when I was in that district. Regina is a good meeting and there was hearty fellowship. Maple Creek, Piapot is a scattered ^[p. 236] position in a physical sense, but much better spiritually than I had expected. Brethren were here over the weekend from St. James, Winnipeg, Regina, Calgary, Grainland, Kalispell, etc., two meetings Saturday, and three Lord’s Day. At St. James, Winnipeg we had five meetings.

We hope to start tomorrow for Calgary, then Vancouver, Nanaimo, Victoria, Seattle, Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco and Los Angeles. We are uncertain as to whether we shall stop at Gothenburg. We also think of Detroit — where there is pressure because of trades unions — and Rochester.

Mr. and Mrs. Ursell, Fort William, also Mr. and Mrs. Mooney, Toronto, and one or two others, including Rhoda Samuels, are travelling with us. We met Capt. Kettle at Regina. He is serving acceptably and quite good in his spirit.

We saw the Markhams and the Straughns at Winnipeg and W.S.M. is in Calgary.

We think of you all much. Ruth and the children will be coming home at the end of the week, we suppose. We trust all are much benefited. Mother was writing Consie and we asked Jim to attend to our special collection for Great Britain, which, no doubt, he will do.

I received the letter Jim sent and hope to write him from Vancouver. I have not heard of Colonel Hoare since we left.

Mother and I keep fairly well, thank God, and we unite in love to you all.

Affectionately,
Father.
