Mr. James Ferguson.

Beloved Brother, — I duly received your letter of the 15th inst. with cheque enclosed for $75.00 from the brethren in Los Angeles.

I am grateful to you all for this liberal gift. It is cheering, I need not say, to be remembered by one’s brethren in this practical way. There is much opportunity of using such bounty on the furtherance of the Lord’s interests. I am using your gift in this way and I am sure you will convey my thanks to the brethren.

I had heard of the Lord’s support and blessing in Mr. McCallum’s ministry from my son Arthur and I am encouraged by this.

What you say as to the current ministry as to the Spirit of God I am thankful for. It is needed present truth and I believe the Spirit Himself will enlarge it and bless it to the saints. The Old Testament is particularly helpful in this feature of the truth, especially in a typical sense. This I have noted for a long time. The types of the assembly enter much into it. We are looking at them in our monthly readings here.

I thank you for your sympathetic reference to my health. God is helping me so that I am able to attend our local meetings and sometimes those at a distance. I hope to go to the London meetings in July, please God. My wife is also well, thank God.

She unites in love in Christ to Mrs. Ferguson and you, also to the brethren.

Affectionately yours in Him,
James Taylor.
