DECEMBER 1ST, 1925

You will see that I have been interrupted! I am now on the train to Los Angeles. My wife and I attended the special meetings at Council Bluffs, leaving there today for Los Angeles. We had a good and happy time at Council Bluffs meetings. Mr. Sinclair, Mr. Gill and several others able to help were present. We read in 1 Samuel 1:7,8; 2 Samuel 6; John 14. Mr. A. Suckling, Christchurch, was with us.

I regret to say that a divided state exists in the meeting at Berkeley, near San Francisco. It is the outcome of much fleshly feeling and I fear the enemy has secured considerable advantage. A bad feature is that Modesto, the nearest meeting, has recognised one of the parties. I am sure you will pray for them and for all the brethren of the Pacific coast, as there is danger of the evil spreading.

Mr. Gill is going to the West Indies, for which I am most thankful, as need is pressing there. His ministry at Council Bluffs was most helpful.

I hear they had a good time at Plainfield, where about five to six hundred came together on Thanksgiving Day. Messrs.

^[p. 216] Long, Hayward, Lock and many others whom the Lord uses were present.

No doubt you saw the dear brethren at Auckland. I hear several have been added there during recent months.

My wife joins in love in Christ to Mrs. Willy and you all, and all the brethren.

Affectionately in Him,

James Taylor.
