[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 V 16/17
We left them a few tracts, and they kindly gave us a few little boots of theirs.
It is remarkable in what a spirit of love they received us. The Friends reached Pyrmont on the 1st of the Seventh Month, and shortly afterwards made a visit amongst the members from house to house in that place, and at Minden.
On the 28th they visited a number of seriously awakened persons at Lenzinghausen, who felt the necessity of spiritual worship, and to whom their hearts were much enlarged in gospel love. Walking in the garden, writes John, Yeardley, in a very solemn and solitary frame of mind before the meeting, I had such a feeling as I scarcely ever remember to have had before.
I thought I saw, as in the vision of light, as if a people would be gathered in that neighborhood to the knowledge of the truth.
It appeared to me to be in the divine appointment that our dear M.S.was come to visit Germany, and a large field of labor seems to be appointed for her in this land if she is faithful. The next two months were occupied with various religious services, public and private, not omitting meetings at Eidinghausen and Hille, where, as on former occasions, J.Y.found his heart to go out towards the people with strong emotions of Christian love.
