NOVEMBER 13TH, 1944

BELOVED BROTHER, — ... I thank God that so many of you have been able to be together at —, and for His grace in enabling you to be mutually helpful. And I have confidence that the experiences and exercises of recent years have yielded spiritual increase, and will continue to do so. They have been instructive and formative in view of the accentuated difficulties which will beset the path of faith so long as the assembly remains here. And they have been formative, too, in view of what is soon to be manifested as the perfect and glorious contrast to all that has marked man’s world. And it is very certain that the Spirit is active all the time to secure “chaste virgin” features in the assembly, and this not merely in an abstract way, but in local companies of saints. The inroads ^[p. 338] of the world are ever to be watched against as operating directly against this.

I am restricted as to the use of “ink and pen”, but my love in the Lord goes out freely to you all.

Yours affectionately in Him,

November 13th, 1944.
