ON BOARD M.V. BRITANNIC, AUGUST 15TH, 1934

Mr. P. Lyon.

Beloved Brother, — I was very glad to receive your letter at Galway. It drew forth increased prayer for the dear brethren at York, for I could see the peculiar difficulty there; but God will enable the brethren to leap over that wall. He has helped much so far in meeting the evil combination and I believe He will, through the means available, complete the work. I am thankful you went there. I note you were going on to Scarborough and I trust you had further help from the Lord there. It is an advantage that some visiting brethren are at S. for they will be a cheer and support to dear Rusling and the others.

We are thinking of you also as having gone to Newcastle. All the information I had from that region was encouraging. Great grace would be needed however for many problems had to be solved and the enemy will do his utmost to arouse old feelings as these are being met.

^[p. 448] You will have cheer in Scotland, I am sure. I am looking to the Lord for Glasgow. On the whole an improved situation exists. The ‘hiving’ has, I believe, reduced the tension. A. Steven has a sober judgment of everything and God will use him. Glasgow is a most important part of the divine field and calls forth my deepest interest and sympathy. The Burnbank-Leven link remains and gives the enemy an advantage; indeed it works out in a cleavage in Fife. Mr. Elder suffers much on account of this.

Affectionately in Him,

James Taylor.
