BROOKLYN, N.Y., NOVEMBER 19TH, 1949

Mr. L. H. Bennett.

Beloved Brother, — Your letter of the 9th inst. touched me as “good news from a far country”. I thank the dear brethren at Warrnambool for their gift of £10 sent to Mr. Helen, Teddington. This I regard as from the Lord and will use in His interests.

I am interested in hearing of the purposed meetings with Mr. John Patton. I am assured the Lord will bless the occasion and I shall pray for this.

My wife and I have been to three day meetings in Chicago lately and we are, God willing, leaving next week for similar meetings in Indianapolis — 700 miles away. I shall appreciate your prayers. This time of the year affords many special meetings and I am sure heaven takes note of this and sends rain which will yield blessing later.

There is much interest in the truth generally, as you will know, and I am thankful you can speak of the same in small gatherings in Victoria.

I value your kind remarks as to my health. Thank God, I am still keeping well and able to get to the local meetings and also to special larger meetings, as I have been remarking. I am encouraged to keep looking for the Lord’s coming — not for death although subject to God’s will, I trust. It is sweet to think of the Spirit quickening our mortal bodies. He dwells with us.

My wife unites in love in Christ to you and your house and to all the brethren with you.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.
