However, He knows all our trials, & it is most certain, if we wait upon Him, will give according to His knowledge of our need. It is a comfort to have the advice & experience of those who are experienced in the Lord’s ways & work. My brother will write to you also if he has not done it yet, & will probably be able to give you more account of the work as Toronto is more of a center. Again thanking you, dear brother, & the Lord’s dear people, for their love & kindness in ministering to our wants, & with Christian love to all, I am yours affectionately in Him,

Robert J. Grant
