Mr. Alfred J. Gardiner.

Beloved Brother, — In view of the special place the Holy Spirit is affording to Himself, it occurs to me that so-called ministry meetings, that is, meetings based on 1 Corinthians 14: 29 and other such scriptures, should have place during extended occasions, especially during the proposed meetings in London next month.

Such meetings were current at so-called fellowship meetings in earlier days, as at Quemerford, for instance.

You have kindly mentioned that I might be free to give an address in London. I have been concerned about this, but find my breath quickly fails although I have given short ones quite often. I should, God helping me, give one if my suggestion made above were put into effect.

The London Meetings have become widely known and it seems a larger number than usual will attend, including sisters. Thus, all ministry possible should be available.

My wife unites in warm love in Christ to you and Mrs. Gardiner and the brethren.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.

PS — I am not mentioning above suggestion to the brethren until I hear from you. I may say, it came to me only last night.
