BROOKLYN, N.Y., SEPTEMBER 23RD, 1942

Mr. Roy Hibbert.

Beloved Brother, — I thank you for your letter of September 7th and also the invitation to be with you, God willing, at Easter next year.

I would much like to be with you all at that time, but I could not accept an invitation to travel so far at that time of the year. Lately I have had an attack of rheumatism in my lower limbs, and it still continues. I was able to attend the meetings at Detroit, but under considerable strain. However, God had mercy on me and answered the prayers of the brethren, so that I was much better at the end of the meetings than at the beginning. I am now improving, but it is thought by both the doctor and myself that I shall have to curtail my commitments. Therefore, if I attend any meetings at Easter next year, it would be one of those much nearer than Calgary.

I am thankful Jim hopes to be with you at New Year’s time, after seeing the brethren at Winnipeg. I hope to be at Chicago, but this commitment was made months ago. I hope also to be at Toronto and Council Bluffs next month and Indianapolis in November.

The Lord helped His people as gathered at Detroit, and we were thankful to hear from Mr. Samuels that He helped Mr. Myles and the brethren gathered together at Vancouver. There are a number of special meetings being held and the grace of the Lord upon them is quite encouraging. News from Great Britain and Australia and New Zealand speaks of similar encouragement. In London area there is considerable ^[p. 289] exercise about the Stow Hill Tract Depot, but I believe there will be a clearing of the clouds and a better resultant condition in the Depot.

My wife unites in love in Christ to Mrs. Hibbert and yourself.

Affectionately yours in Him,
James Taylor.
