[Memoir and Diary of John Yeardley, Minister of the Gospel by John Yeardley]@TWC D-Link bookMemoir and Diary of John Yeardley, Minister of the Gospel CHAPTER IV 35/46
Since Thomas Shillitoe and I visited Eidinghausen, there has been a remarkable revival to a sense of religion; a number come together in a sort of society every First-day afternoon, to read, sing, and pray for the edification one of another.
As all things have a beginning, this may perhaps prove a step to a more perfect way of worship.
I had long felt inclined to visit the meeting in Eidinghausen, and had looked towards accomplishing it from Minden. I went there on the 9th inst., and my intention to be there being known a few days before caused many of these awakened people to attend the meeting so that the little school-room was quite full, and many stood in the passage.
I was truly thankful to be amongst them, for it proved a most satisfactory season.
They are a rustic set of folks, but have each a soul to save or to lose, and all souls are of equal value in the sight of the Judge of the whole earth.
