JANUARY 5TH, 1940

BELOVED BROTHER, — ... There is a more severe shaking of things than we have had experience of before in this country and God intends that we should be sensitive to it. But those who wait upon Him will have a greater sense of His care and support than they had in easier times. And the things which cannot be shaken will stand out more distinctly before every single eye. A ministry has been given such as was suited to prepare us for a time of testing, and its true value will be known as worked out in presence of pressure. One would look that, by the good hand of our God upon us, there may be increasing spiritual ability to minister to Him in the service of His house.

My health has not been good during the past year, and I have not been able to move about as in some former years. Certain limitations come with advancing years, but one’s desire is that, notwithstanding these, there might be spiritual enlargement.

With much love in the Lord,

Yours affectionately in Him,

January 5th, 1940.
