BROOKLYN, N.Y., JANUARY 9TH, 1933
Mr. P. Lyon.
Beloved Brother, — I am indebted to you for sending me interesting letters, also for two of your own. We were thinking much of all the dear brethren on your side in view of the many special meetings and I have no doubt the Lord helped.
I am very interested in all the letters from the Continent, especially in the marriage of A. Wellershaus. I am assured this is wise in view of the long engagement. I trust they will find help in every way.
Here there was cheer during the holidays and I hear good reports from other places. Mr. Gill has been in the Middle West since Council Bluffs. He was in Chicago for the week-end of December 25th and writes most cheerfully of the season there. My brother has now fallen in with his brethren as to Columbus and G.W.H. has written Chicago a good letter which has been accepted on its ‘face value’ there. H.G. speaks of peace reigning. Old Mr. Turner is very poorly, Mr. G. saying he feared he would not see him in the flesh again.
I am much concerned as to the doors open in view of my coming visit to your side, wishing to find the Lord’s will and use the time to the best advantage. I am inclined to Valence for the Ascension meetings and Germany for Whit Monday. They wish me to attend meetings at Knoxville, where I have not been for many years, and as I cannot be with them in July they are arranging something for April.
I am grieved because of Mr. N———’s sorrow. I earnestly trust he will find help from God. How many are the sorrows of the saints at the present time! But we are in the hands of the Lord in them and not in the hands of men. How dreadful if we were in the hands of the wolf!
[p. 381] I am writing Wellershaus, also Pfannerschmidt, that I am thinking of Germany, trusting that the Lord will make my way plain.
Dear Mr. Fawcett was seriously hurt in a motor collision and we are concerned about him — especially in view of his age. Mr.———’s case still stands, but we are looking for an early adjustment. He is concerned about brethren at a distance rather than his local brethren.
With love in Christ to you all in which my wife joins,
Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.
