Scope and Contents

Typed letter from N.D. Pendleton to Rev. Robert J. Tilson in London, England. Pendleton was relieved to learn from Mrs. Tilson that Mr. Tilson’s operation was successful. He hopes the operation will ease Tilson’s suffering and allow him to serve the Church for many years to come. Pendleton directs Tilson to the Life periodical for an account of the Cathedral dedication which took place in Bryn Athyn. Pendleton finds it difficult to describe the “greatness” of the occasion, and he hopes Tilson will come to Bryn Athyn one day “. . . and see for yourself the great thing that has been built in the name of the Lord, and dedicated to the worship of Him in His Human Glorified.” He continues, “At least I hope you may do so, and on the occasion add your voice to others in proclaiming the truth of the Second Advent, within the walls of the Cathedral.” Though they are experiencing some acoustic difficulties, Sunday attendance at the Cathedral since the recent Assembly has averaged over three hundred. Committees of young people have been organized to greet new visitors and speak with them about Church Doctrines if they are interested. Pendleton believes that even if only a few are converted, the work will have been worthwhile. Names mentioned: Mrs. (R. J.) Tilson
