MIAMI, FLORIDA, JANUARY 23RD, 1938 (LORD’S DAY MORNING)

My Dear ——— , — Many thanks for your letter giving so much that is both interesting and cheering.

We — mother, Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson and self, arrived early yesterday from Kingston and were met at the dock by several — Mr. and Mrs. K., Mr. Guinard, Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, Hammond, Misses Rochat and Truan and others.

We had a reading in the afternoon on assembly material — very happy and well sustained of the Lord. Then tea and address later — on the idea of ‘City’ in Scripture. The Lord helped further. The brother S——— and his wife who had been withdrawn from lately were present.

There are, it appears, only nine now breaking bread and the position is weak indeed, but the Lord is able to make them stand. There has been friction, but it seems healed. H——— is ^[p. 110] intelligent, but bears the mark of his spiritual upbringing. The number of visitors and the grace of the Lord so manifestly with us will greatly help to steady the few here and enable them to go on together, I am sure.

I am uncertain as to how many days we shall stay — being here, one desires to do all he can. The position is so weak that everything should be done, under God, to make it stand.

Affectionately,
Father.
