BROOKLYN, N.Y., AUGUST 28TH, 1944

My Dear ——— . — We just heard from your mother that you are in France and our hearts follow you earnestly counting on God to protect you throughout as He has done so far.

There is but little that I can say to you as to your changed circumstances. Grandmother is sending you the address of Mr. Gaston Malécot, St. Etienne, who will give you information about meetings. There are, however, few meetings in France, and only one in the north — Paris. But be sure and write Mr. Malécot, as he is a dear brother and will do all possible for you. St. Etienne is about 300 miles south of Paris. By the time this letter reaches you there may be access to Paris. Mr. Parrot is the name of the brother we used to know there.

Grandmother and I keep very well, thank God. We attended special meetings at Hamilton, Ontario, early this month. A large number attended and the Lord helped us much as gathered together. This week we leave for meetings at Detroit. We are motoring with Uncle Arthur and Aunt Ruth and Ruth, Jr. The Lord is helping greatly at these meetings and the interest is very good.

We get news from Great Britain and Australasia and there is evidence that God is working. The brethren in London are greatly plagued by the German ‘Robot’ but I am sure there will be an end to this soon. We count on God for this. He is employing the United States for this purpose, but there are other means also. I hope you have time for reading and prayer. You will miss the brethren in England. The loss of ^[p. 355] fellowship is very great; but in Ezekiel 11 Jehovah says He will be “little- sanctuary” to His people when they are scattered and isolated. The great need is that by “praying in the Holy Spirit” we should at all times keep ourselves in the love of God (Jude 20).

Grandmother unites in warm love to you.

Affectionately,
Grandfather.
