They commenced their visit at Bueckeburg, where they had a remarkable interview with the family of the Kammer-rath Wind, which is related at length in T.S.'s journal (vol.i., p.
388). The place which seems in these visits to have engaged J.Y.'s sympathies the most strongly was the village of Eidinghausen. We had, he says, a very favored meeting in the room where their meeting is usually held.
In the sitting in the evening, with the family where we lodged, many of the neighbors came in, who seemed to have no wish to leave us.
I thought of the words of the dear Saviour, when seeing the multitudes he had compassion on them, because they were as sheep having no shepherd. Truly these have no outward shepherd who cares much for their spiritual interests.
I felt my heart much warmed in gospel love towards them, and we invited them to give us their company again next day, which most of them did.
