Mr. S. McCallum.

Beloved Brother, — Many thanks for your letter of December 1st. We were sorry indeed that your hernia trouble had returned. We trust you are better through God’s goodness to you. I am remembering you in view of tomorrow. The frequent recurrence of those special Saturday meetings is indeed remarkable and most cheering. I trust you all and Mr. Devenish were helped together. Jim was at Summit last Saturday and the season is well spoken of. I hope to be at Westfield on the 20th and we shall, please God, be together here on January 1st. Arthur purposes to be at Winnipeg, God willing, for the weekend of December 25th. Mr. Walker goes to Los Angeles. Thus the work of God goes on! May He continue to prosper it.

Good news steadily arrives from Great Britain, also from Australasia. I heard yesterday from Mr. Collie-Smith. There was a good letter lately from Mr. W. Smith of Peterhead.

The Lord is helping at Indianapolis, but there is friction at the top. Pray for them — especially our brothers ——— and ——— . The ——— matter is again to the front and apparently not healing. I am of the opinion that Mrs. ——— is the difficulty.

Our brothers Dr. Stollery and Mr. A. Robertson are recovering, thank God. Jim’s wife is with her mother at Council Bluffs, but I doubt that she is improving. She had a fall lately that set her back. Hers is a prolonged trial in regard of which we look much to God both for her and Jim and the children.

My wife unites in love in Christ to Mrs. McCallum and you all.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.

PS — Thanks for the account of Mr. Smith’s visit to Washington. He had given me a copy — it is quite interesting.
