JUNE 10TH, 1928

^[p. 169] MY DEAR SISTER IN THE LORD, — I am sorry to know you have been so unwell and feeling so weak, but I hope you will soon, by God’s mercy, be quite in your usual health again.

We were speaking on Wednesday about James 1 and the testing character of God’s ways with us. He is very much bent on developing in us qualities of endurance, and He would have us to be assured that every testing is really a gain when it is rightly and spiritually gone through. I feel for myself how easy it is to forget that it is a testing time, and only to wake up to it after we have failed under the test. But He would encourage us to move according to faith even in the smallest details, and to draw wisdom from Him for the steps of our way. God is unchangeable as a Giver even if His people are “in the dispersion”. This is very much our position publicly, but God remains, and the Lord Jesus is still the Lord of glory, and we can, as utilising divine resources, still win the crown of life and have first-fruits character....

Yours affectionately in the Lord Jesus,

June 10th, 1928.
