BROOKLYN, N.Y., SEPTEMBER 7TH, 1929
Mr. A. Wellershaus.
Beloved Brother, — I have been thinking much of you since we parted after the happy season at Leipzig.
My wife and I learned with much satisfaction that you had passed your final examination and had secured a post as teacher. I believe I heard it was in the town where your father resides, but I am not sure. I earnestly hope it suits you and that you find the Lord’s help in all your affairs. We are thinking too of your dear fiancée and we are interested to know if the time of your marriage is fixed. We missed you at Barnet, where the Lord greatly helped His people. It would have been an advantage had you been there, but later on you may find occasion to visit and make the acquaintance of your brethren in Great Britain.
We found much to encourage here since our return early in July. Five have been received in our meeting and three more are to be proposed tomorrow. Besides, a good few have been received into fellowship in the other meetings in the city and a new meeting has been started in Staten Island — where Mr. Pfingst resides.
You will be aware that Mr. P. Lyon is in America. He has been in the ‘far West’ but we look for him here soon. The Lord has helped our brother in seeking to serve His people. Last week-end three special meetings were held — Vancouver, and Cambridge (Boston) — P.L. was in Detroit and we hear the Lord helped him. We had a very good time at Cambridge. We have not heard yet from Vancouver, where Mr. Hardwick (London) and Mr. Gill were.
I am waiting on the Lord as to the Rhineland meetings, and [p. 270] hope there is encouragement. I have heard but little since I left England. The notes of the Leipzig meetings are being prepared for the press, as you will be aware. I am wondering if you are helping. I trust they will be used of God as circulated among His people. Notes of the Barnet and Belfast conferences are also being published and no doubt you will get copies in due time.
My wife joins in warm love in Christ to you and Mrs. Noske and to the saints near you.
Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.
