Mr. L. E. Samuels.

Beloved Brother, — Your letter of the 9th inst. is just to hand. I am touched by the departure to be with Christ of dear Mr. Griffiths. I am thankful you and Mr. Myles were there, and that Mrs. Griffiths was well sustained. I hope I may see her and Miss Reynolds at Winnipeg, but the journey may be too much for them in their bereavement. My prayers go up.

I also had your letter of March 25th and valued all you wrote. I am so thankful Mr. Garlick is improved and trust God will spare him for some time longer to Mrs. Garlick and you all.

Here the Lord blesses His people. Several special meetings have been held in recent weeks and the interest keeps up well. On Saturday there was a good time at Flemington; next Saturday, God willing, at Westfield.

There are cheering letters from Great Britain, Australia and South Africa. I am assured God is protecting Australasia. We are grieved because of bombings of Bath, Exeter, Norwich and York, but I doubt the effort can be continued. We are looking up much — seeing God’s hand in public conditions.

God willing, I leave here on Tuesday, 19th, arriving Chicago Wednesday morning, Minneapolis that evening for a meeting and continuing to Winnipeg on Thursday morning. Mr. Johannson says I should leave by N. Pac. R.R. at 9.10 a.m., arriving at Winnipeg at 9.30 p.m. If I go by any other route I shall wire you.

My wife unites in love in Christ to Mrs. Samuels and you, also to Mr. and Mrs. Garlick, Rhoda and all the brethren.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.
