AUGUST 25TH, 1941

^[p. 300] BELOVED BROTHER, — ... Paul regarded the ministration of the Philippians to him as “an odour of sweet savour, an acceptable sacrifice, agreeable to God”, and thus he would indicate that it was no mere matter of giving and receiving, but that it had its place in the service of the altar. So that there is a priestly side of such offerings which gives them spiritual elevation, and which also requires that they should be received in a priestly way. As the grace of God appears in the bounty of His dear saints one would earnestly desire that it might appear in the way that one receives of that bounty. It is with such thoughts in my heart that I wish you to give my warm love in the Lord to the dear brethren in and my thanks for their gift.

With much love in the Lord,

Yours affectionately is Him,

August 25th, 1941.
