J N Darby – French Letter No. 121 – Concern about England

J N Darby
John Nelson Darby
Pau – January 1880

To Mr P

My dear Brother,

… Our business is to follow Christ and to be nothing. Our two collaborating brothers are visiting the meetings around here every Sunday, and even during the week.

I have the idea, after having achieved a certain part of our work, of going to England. They are in peace there, but they need to be nourished and cemented. Mr X is very useful there, and encouraged; brethren are added in London. Certain people would like to blow out the fire, but it seems to me that their puff is spoiled. I find that my strength is to stay quiet.

Your affectionate brother
