BROOKLYN, N.Y., OCTOBER 25TH, 1922

Mr. W. Stanford.

Beloved Brother, — I have to thank you for two letters.

I was quite interested in all you wrote, especially your reference to the love of Christ as seen in the marriage types. There is a certain freshness about Genesis, and this appears nowhere more than in those passages which treat of parental and marital relation. In the former the love of God for the family is presented, or rather foreshadowed, and in the latter the love of Christ for the church.

^[p. 194] There is encouragement in this country, although meetings are small and few comparatively. We had a good season here lately at our monthly fellowship meeting, reading Hebrews 1. The inherited name came specially before us as, drawn from the Psalms. It is Christ viewed as among the saints, One exalted, “chosen out of the people”. I hope to attend special meetings in Toronto at the end of next week.

Dear R. D———’s journey’s end caused great sorrow here. His ministry in New Zealand and Australia bore marks of striking ability and so such circumstances at the end cause the more serious exercises. I am waiting on the Lord about it.

With love in Christ to you and your family, I am,

Affectionately in Him,

James Taylor.
