BROOKLYN, N.Y., DECEMBER 31ST, 1943

Mr. Roy Hibbert.

Beloved Brother, — Many thanks for your letter of the 21st inst. and enclosures. I also have to thank you for your letter of November 9th.

We are grateful indeed for God’s mercy to you in carrying you through your severe ordeal and we earnestly trust there will be no recurrence of the original trouble. Much prayer has gone up for you.

We also valued the good letter from Mr. Kilroe telling of your illness and specially the severity of it. Perhaps you will assure him and his dear wife that we were glad to hear from them and that want of time only prevented a reply.

The items of news he sent, particularly of the brothers who were at Banff were interesting to us. Here we have had good visits from brethren in the services — just now two of the Dutch Navy, one of whom was born at Vancouver. He is not in fellowship, but promising. He got blessing through the one who is in fellowship.

^[p. 335] The proposals for meetings in your parts in the spring will be before us so that the blessing of God may be with you. I am assured our brother Mr. McCallum will be used by the Lord.

We hear there was help at Winnipeg and we expect Arthur back tomorrow. The Chicago meetings have not yet been reported. Mr. Myles, as he wrote me, is now on the way to Barbados.

There was a good time at Westfield last Saturday — a large number attended both meetings, and we are looking forward to afternoon and evening meetings here tomorrow. Mr. A. N. Walker is at Los Angeles as you may know.

Illness is prevalent here, but God is granting recoveries. R.W.S. and A.R. are greatly improved and A.B.P. also. He is to be at Hamilton this weekend. Generally information from Great Britain and Australasia is quite cheering.

My wife unites in love in Christ to Mrs. Hibbert and you and also to Mr. and Mrs. Kilroe and all the brethren.

Affectionately in Him, James Taylor.
