MIAMI, FLORIDA, JANUARY 27TH, 1938

Mr. Arthur P. Taylor.

My Dear Arthur, — Mother and I are very sorry that the cable sent by Ruth and you, Dorothy, Ruth, Arthur and James was not acknowledged. It was an oversight. Please pardon us.

^[p. 111] It was good of you all to think of us thus. Both you and ourselves were reminded by your cable of our advancing years. They are full ones in which, through grace, God has part, in each of which, we confidently assert, there has been a crop for Him, and by His grace we are assured that this will mark those that remain. It is “seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night” — but for the believer the presence and power of God in all. We rejoice that the same is true of yourselves, and we thank God for this; also for all the families.

There is steady cheer here. We are visiting — for evening meals — all the households and feel the help of God in this. There are meetings every night — today, afternoon and evening. We had a remarkable time last night on Ephesians 4: 17 to end. Care meeting this afternoon, and reading this evening on the Lord’s supper. Tomorrow address, Saturday reading and Lord’s Day three meetings: attendance steady. Two seeking to break bread — commendable.

I sent a message through ——— to you and Jim that we leave here, God willing, by ‘Florida East Coast Route’, not Seaboard, at 10.15 Lord’s Day night and arrive at New York, Penn Station, at 6.58 Tuesday morning.

Mr. and Mrs. Thompson very kind. He seems very exercised but not clear.

Mother unites in love to you all and to all the others.

Affectionately,
Father.
