O Germany, Germany, what does my heart feel on account of thy inhabitants! It seems as if I could tread thy soil for the remainder of my days if I could only be made the instrument of helping on their way those scattered ones who are athirst for the sincere milk of the word of life. One of the females who visited our meetings came to the school room on Seventh-day, and requested the favor of having a few books to peruse and circulate.
She said she was from Osnabrueck, and that there were a number of people in that place who had a great love to the Friends of our Society.
Such opportunities afford the means of circulating a knowledge of the truth to those whose hearts may be preparing to receive it; and if such are only awakened to seek after the ways of holiness, although they may never come to be of our number on earth, they will he found among the number of the saints in heaven.
The bathing-list this season already amounts to 2500 persons, in which number there are many who are desirous to inquire the way to Zion.
It is much to be desired that the peculiar advantages which Pyrmont affords for spreading in the different parts of the Continent books illustrative of our religious principles should be judiciously embraced, particularly as there appears such an openness to receive them.
