None are sent out but those who can really say they feel it to be their religious duty to go to any certain people or country.
A sweet young man, who was extremely attentive to us, Charles Haensel, is since gone to Sierra Leone to teach the poor negroes, from a conviction of duty. One day during their sojourn, C.Haensel took them to a meeting for worship, held in the house of C.F.
Spittler. J.Y.says, we sat until they had performed part of their worship, and then the leader signified to the company that a few Friends from England were present, and told us that if we had anything to offer we had full liberty to do so.
Silence ensuing, dear M.S.found herself constrained to address them in a way suited to the occasion; I was also enabled to express what came before me.
They afterwards expressed their thankfulness for the opportunity. From Basle William Seebohm returned to Pyrmont, and the English Friends, hoping that they might meet Louis Majolier at Berne, went forward to that city, but were again disappointed. Although they were anxious to reach Geneva as quickly as possible, the attraction of gospel love towards Zurich was so strong that they could not continue their journey until they had visited that city.
