JUNE 1ST, 1936

My Dear Jim, — I wrote to Arthur as to his address at Chatham and also Westfield. I thank God for the address. Mr. S——— should also object to my address in February — possibly he did! The enemy is endeavouring to establish by practice wrong principles. In seeking to check this there is the risk of being regarded as biased because of natural relationship, but this has to be accepted. As far as I am concerned I am perfectly clear before God that I am concerned about the truth only, and the truth as to such matters is more clear to me than ever. The way Mr. T——— was made an issue and spoken against corresponds with what is current at Westfield. The feeling against Mr. T——— was epidemic and so is that against ——— . Of course ——— has to take this from God and see why it is, but then what about those inside and outside Westfield who have allowed their feelings against him to lead them to override divine principles? It will probably take a long time to wash out — as it were — all this, but the Lord loves us too well to allow it to remain unjudged. The same situation exactly exists as to Newcastle, but already self-judgment is showing itself. I note ———’s name in the Montreal correspondence. He lodged with ——— and one can understand how he would take a hand in line with the latter. ——— used to think ——— a spiritual man; he will probably be now thinking somewhat differently!

Affectionately,
Father.
