MARCH 4TH, 1938

Mr. A. Beattie.

Beloved Brother, — I was glad to have all the good information in yours of December 10th, received in Jamaica. I follow all your remarks as to Rochford Street — mental cases are exceedingly difficult, but still we must think for God and His house and it is significant that lunacy was cured by the Lord according to Matthew’s account only. I have no doubt Mr.

^[p. 120] L——— should see the brother you mention. Nothing likely to help in such cases should be omitted.

Our visit to Jamaica you may have heard something of. The Lord helped throughout. It is a fruitful field, especially for gospel testimony. The season at Miami on our return journey was also cheering. This was the meeting which primarily, not actually, occasioned our extended difficulty here. It is weak, but the Lord is making it to stand. It is a growth but with little protection, being very isolated, but several visit there during the winter season, who help much. Three were added to the meeting since we were there, and we hear of two more expressing their wish to break bread — this was last Lord’s Day after the preaching, and there was also a confession of Christ by a middle-aged man.

In this area we have constant cheer, although Amalek is finding openings too. ——— wrote me a long letter lately — nothing but self-vindication, I grieve to say. A remarkable interest has developed in our Flatbush Thursday evening weekly reading. We have been going through 1 Samuel.

Mr. Lyon is now in Barbados. The Lord has been using him here and elsewhere. He returns to this district, God willing, early in April, hoping to attend the Easter meetings at London, Ontario, also special meetings at Knoxville and Rochester.

Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.
