OLDHAM, SEPTEMBER 21ST, 1931

Mr. P. Lyon.

Beloved Brother, — Many thanks for all information. I earnestly hope the brethren will go forward definitely in what is clearly of the Lord. I am thankful for the M’s attitude. On their part it is sound business to be favourable as the new Depot will be a customer, but it is also an advantage generally and will remove occasion for complaint from some who are glad to have it.

I gave Mr. Ide your and A.E.M.’s letters as he has good opportunity of making facts generally known. Mr. Ide promised to send needed information to Mr. Davidson. The latter is a good man in such matters. It will be a great disadvantage if the shop you mention is not secured. It will be a great pity if brethren are diverted from the course in which the Lord is so plainly helping. I note that A.E.M. is going to Newport and I am looking to the Lord as to this, and indeed the whole matter.

Thanks for information as to sailings. Please God, I shall see the Liverpool people and let you know what they say. It is likely we shall take the Lancastria. There was an excellent season here over the week-end. For the reading we had the Jordan in 2 Kings. The address was on ‘enlargement’.

My wife unites in warm love in Christ to your sister and yourself and Lois. We think of Lois and are thankful for good news of her. Again thanking you all for your great kindness to us.

Affectionately in Christ,

James Taylor.
