ON BOARD R.M.S. SAMARIA, AUGUST 19TH, 1933
Mr. A. Wellershaus.
Beloved Brother, — I received your letter from Chemnitz for which I thank you. I note all your remarks as to the Notes of meetings recently held in Germany.
Those we went over at Stockton may safely be published, but I am afraid of the others. The extract you sent from those taken at Dusseldorf does not represent what was said. If this extract is a sample of the whole of the Dusseldorf Notes I do not see how they can be used. To translate them into English so that I could go over them in New York, would be such a work as can hardly be undertaken. At any rate, it would be a mistake to publish them unless I can see them in English or have you read them to me. No one in fellowship in America knows German and English sufficiently well to read them to me as you did.
In view of the present activity of the enemy I do not think anything from me should be published save as revised by myself. I am sure you will agree with this.
I shall, please God, return to you the last two readings at Limbach as soon as I can do so, after I receive them, so that the whole set of Limbach meetings may be published without delay.
We pray much for you all, especially yourself in view of the much travelling and translating you have on hand. We shall be thinking of Dr. Elliott’s visit to Germany. I am sure the [p. 404] Lord will help our dear brother. We value him much in the truth.
Mr. Nee is on board this ship and we have had profitable conversations. I am much concerned that our brother may acquire a clear outline of the truth. This is imperative, not only because of his own needs, but also because of the large number of believers in China who are dependent on him for teaching. Elberfeld brethren have published something against Nee, attacking certain views of his on prophecy. I have taken this matter up with him and I hope he will get a clear understanding on the subject. As you know, he is young and has not the advantages that we in Europe and America have had.
My wife unites in love in Christ to you dear wife and yourself.
Affectionately in Him,
James Taylor.
Convey my love to the saints as you have opportunity.
