JULY 11TH, 1930

MY DEAR —, — I felt it quite nice to get out to the reading on Wednesday. We read Luke 10: 17 - 24, and it was good to go again over what had been brought before us on the previous Wednesday. We thought these verses were about the top note of the gospel, as bringing us to the activities of the Father and the Son, having in view what is heavenly. There seemed to be a fair measure of interest, but one feels how slow we are to take on, and be formed by, even the things which truly interest us. How simply could we go through circumstances here if we lived in the secret sense of our present place as written in heaven. We were remarking that probably most believers dwell on what is public — that is, what is preached or ministered publicly. But it is our privilege to have private, communications, verse 23. The Lord loves to unbosom Himself to those who are objects of good pleasure to the Father and to Himself, and to say things privately to them which are not told publicly. How well might we covet to receive such communications, and to be in a condition of heart and spirit to value and respond to them! ...

Yours very affectionately in the Lord,

July 11th, 1930.
