JUNE 6TH, 1944

BELOVED BROTHER, — ... I am somewhat better in health than I was some months back, but in one’s 82nd year one does not pick up strength quickly, and no doubt the feebleness that comes with old age has its own appointed place in the ways of God with us. One thinks less of what is done by us and more of what is done in us, and Christ and the Father’s love become more undividedly the rest and satisfaction of the heart. I desire that this may be so in my case, and in the case of all who have reached that period when outward activities can only be carried on in a limited way.

I rejoice in the cheer you have locally and in the movements after the Lord in one and another. May His gracious work come more and more to light! ...

With much love in the Lord to you and yours,

Yours affectionately in Him,

June 6th, 1944.
