Witness and Yung-hsiang Lee Visit Los Angeles

Witness Lee and his wife, Yung-hsiang, came to Los Angeles in May of 1958. While there he spoke at Westmoreland Chapel in Los Angeles. Brother Lee spoke about the tree of life in Genesis 2 and the need for Christians to eat daily of this tree which is a type of the Lord as food to us. He asked the question, “Have you eaten Christ today?” Never before were we asked such a question. Here he was referring to the Lord’s word in John 6:57, “He who eats Me, he also shall live because of Me,” but we had never considered such a matter before.

Westmoreland Chapel was connected with Honor Oak Christian Fellowship and Conference Center (abbr. hereafter as “Honor Oak”) on Honor Oak Road in southeast London, England. It was here that T. Austin-Sparks had ministered since December 1926. Those who were meeting at Westmoreland Chapel appealed to Brother Sparks for someone to come from Honor Oak to support them and to minister to them. Brother Sparks sent Brother C.J.B. Harrison to labor at Westmoreland.

In addition to speaking there, Witness and Yung-hsiang went to the U.C.L.A. Medical Center for needed medical attention for Sister Lee. As it was, she passed away less than a year later on April 24, 1959.
