BROOKLYN, N.Y., OCTOBER 30TH, 1930

Mr. E. J. Hemmings.

Beloved Brother, — I wish to thank you for your letter of the 1st instant and the account of the visit by you and Mr. Cooper to the Baltic Countries^†. I earnestly trust and pray that there may be fruit for God from the seed sown. The energy shown by you both in working in such difficult fields, also by Messrs. Fiske and Crocker in visiting Iceland, is cheering and leads one to pray that others may also be led to move out on to fresh grounds.

There can be no doubt that the work intended by the Lord for those to whom He has given the light of Christ and the church is to move in the unfolding of positive truth, exemplifying it in our ways. This is the sure way of maintaining the truth —

“for a testimony to them”, as the Lord Himself says, and in this respect the movement for less costly written ministry will be, I believe, prospered by Him, for in this way believers will be reached who could not be orally. But contact with our brethren is of special importance and so I am cast on the Lord to lead to more energy and sacrifice in this service.

The brethren in America are more than holding their own by the Lord’s help, but this is not saying very much, and as considerable ability is developing, especially in this district, I am encouraged to hope that there may be more abounding in the work of the Lord.

We received your cable relative to the sister arriving here, and my son Jim went to meet her but he found she had been evidently detained by the immigration authorities and left a note. We have not heard from her, however. If you have her address, send it and we shall try to see her.

I purpose attending special meetings at Toronto next week. Two of our grandchildren are laid up with the dreadful disease ‘infantile paralysis’. We are cast upon God about them, I need not say.

With love in Christ, in which my wife would join, I am,

Affectionately yours in Him,

James Taylor.
