Dear Brother:
... We are in a shifting, changing scene, where sin has come in and marred everything. But God uses all for our blessing. We know blessing of a character we never could have known had evil never come into the world. And all that we pass through in trial here serves as a discipline for the development of the divine life. The Lord is coming and then we shall be at the end of it all, and enter on what is abiding and eternal and according to the purpose of God.
Our united and much love to you both and to the children,
