<< previous (2:327) next (2:329) >>

p477 Dearest C McAdam, - . . . My trust has been in the Lord, and I think, though it be but the dawn, He has come in mercy. It seems to me the brethren did not see what was really in question, not at Ryde only, but in the whole question of their testimony. I should not even say this, but that I believe, as I said, God has stepped in. I see His hand, and all I have done has been to leave it to Him, only looking where there has been much too much human activity.

Our work, thank God, goes on well. I feel anxious as to the details of perfectness, at least they require much attention. But I feel the Lord with me, and am well (a couple of days quite otherwise). My difficulty is, being here, the brethren desire to see me, as I should them, and how to do both is not so easy. "Rejoice in the Lord always," and "Be careful for nothing"; that is our path.
