BROOKLYN, N.Y., AUGUST 21ST, 1946

Mr. P. Lyon.

Beloved Brother, — I received yours of the 18th ult. as I arrived here. Thanks for it. I am glad to have all the information you sent as to your movements and general outlook. I shall, please God, think of all as before God.

You will have heard of the Sydney proposal — for October, 1947. I am weighing it as under the Lord and I am assured of His help in all my calculations as to such a journey and such strenuous work and exercises generally. It is His work. There is great instruction, as you know, in going over Paul’s journeyings and calculations — not the least that it is not said that he actually visited Spain. What thoughts as we think of Spain’s links with the Western empires!

I have been steadily at work since arriving. There is some encouragement as to recoveries. ——— offers some hope, but there is nothing definite yet. He asked to see me and we had two hours together. There was nothing definite, as I said, but the fact that he sought and came to see me was cheering. He has secured all the ministry that has come out since he left us.

You will be interested in hearing W——— and his wife are being restored to fellowship. The brethren are quite satisfied.

There is a remarkably good interest in the N.Y. district and we are looking for encouragement in Detroit.

My wife and I are fairly well, thank God, but I still have the cough I had when with you; but I am better and Dr. Stollery is helping me under God. Ruth, Arthur’s daughter, is getting married this week to Bufton Parker’s son Arthur. Thus our branches are spreading. You will be aware that ^[p. 389] A.J.G. and are purposing to come our way. David Martin has been blessed here. He is held up for a plane from the West Coast.

With our united love in Christ.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.
