BROOKLYN, N.Y., JANUARY 6TH, 1925
My Dear Mrs. Morford, — It was so very good of you to write so appreciatively of the aid I sought to furnish you in your service in completing dear Mr. Morford’s work. I was very happy indeed in what little I could do and I believe the Lord blessed the magazine as it appeared in its remaining months.
We now think of dear Mr. Nunnerley in his work, especially as his hands are so full otherwise. One feels increasingly that the Lord’s work demands all possible attention; and although secular employment is no doubt wholesome for most of us, it has a tendency to take off the keen spiritual edge which entire abandonment to the things of God affords. But the Lord says, “I know”, and He is very gracious and tenderly supports us in our weakness and removes the dullness so that His work should be properly done and our joy should be full. I am looking forward to the first ‘number’.
You may be assured of our constant interest in you and yours.
[p. 205] When the time comes for Joy to leave you (if the Lord so orders it) your feelings will be different. But your God will instruct and support you as you endure the lot of many loving parents. Your sorrow in parting with her will be modified by the knowledge of her joy, and you will have rest in submission to the will of God, which is always perfect. We should indeed gladly seek out your dear ones were we to return by Colombo — but our thought is to travel by South Africa. We expect to sail from Vancouver on March 11th and we may reach Great Britain by July.
We are all well through God’s great mercy to us, but there has been a great deal of illness in these parts and many have fallen asleep. Dear Mr. Fawcett has been very low again, but God has had mercy on him and he is now on the way to recovery as we believe.
We had an excellent season at Indianapolis. The usual representative number were present. We considered at the reading ‘the power of God’. Mr. Gill preached most effectively and several young people received blessing from God. We also had a good season in Brooklyn on January 1st — we arrived back in time for it.
My wife unites with me in warm love in Christ to you all.
Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.
