Scope and Contents

Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Richard Morse in Sydney, Australia. Pendleton acknowledges receipt of Morse’s letter of Feb. 26th with enclosed membership application for Mrs. Barnes of Martinsville, N.S.W. Pendleton finds the news about the Ferran family interesting, particularly their relations with Mauritius and their knowledge of the de Chazals; He comments, “The spiritual links which bind together into one the invisible Church, when glimpsed by us from time to time, reveal an inner unity and close connection of the parts in a way to make us feel the veritable truth of the doctrine of a universal communion of the Saints, as a single human form in the sight of the Lord.” In Bryn Athyn, they are preparing for school closing and the following annual Ministers’ Meetings. Pendleton hopes Morse will be able to attend these meetings sometime in the future, for the “Church is like a man in this that its vital strength depends upon its circulation.” Names mentioned: Mrs. (Alice Lilian Sutcliffe) Barnes, the Ferran family, the de Chazals
