Conferences, messages, and fellowship (1)
Preface
Volume 41 of The Collected Works contains three sections that include various messages given by Watchman Nee in 1934 and 1935.
Section One contains two messages by Watchman Nee, given in Foochow during July and August of 1934, and notes from four private times of fellowship with Brother K. H. Weigh during the same period. The two messages cover deliverance from sin and the law and the relationship between life and light. The notes from Brother Weigh's fellowship are fragmentary in nature and do not have a particular theme. Instead of being published chronologically, these fragments have been grouped into related topics and published as four chapters. The first chapter deals with general spiritual topics. The second chapter deals with biblical exposition. The third chapter includes topics related to the church, and the fourth chapter deals with local problems in the assembly in Foochow and questions related to division.
Section Two contains three chapters of notes from fellowship given by Brother Watchman Nee. The dates and places are not known. Based on the content of the second chapter, however, there is reason to believe that they were spoken in 1934.
Section Three contains twenty-one messages given by Watchman Nee at a conference in Chuenchow in November 1935. According to Brother Weigh's notes, the meetings and fellowship followed the schedule that is listed below. The notes from a few of these meetings cannot be located, and at least one message was published in Volume 24, The Overcoming Life.
