Mr. Arthur P. Taylor.

My Dear Arthur, — ... Last week there were two days of meetings at Harrogate. The Lord graciously helped. At the readings we had royalty as in David and leadership as in David. P.L. gave an excellent address on Phinehas. I spoke on ‘the man of opened eye’ — Balaam, Numbers 24. The ministry bore on certain current difficulties in Newcastle and Filey, and I am assured the Lord will use it ... .

We are booked to sail on the Britannic, August 10th. Mr. and Mrs. Ide will be with us, please God. Mr. Ide will be free to take meetings — gospel or addresses to the saints. He does not trust in eloquence, but the Lord blesses his ministry ... . Interest generally among the brethren is most cheering.

Love to Ruth, yourself and children and all.

Affectionately,

Father.
