CHAPTER IX. THE SECOND CONTINENTAL JOURNEY. 1827-28. PART II .-- SWITZERLAND. On the 27th of the Tenth Month John and Martha Yeardley crossed the Swiss frontier to Schaffhausen, where their presence was welcomed by several pious persons.
Amongst these were a young woman, Caroline Keller, who from a religions motive had altered her dress and manners to greater simplicity, and John Lang, Principal of the United Brethren's Society.
In a social meeting convened on the evening of their arrival, J.L.
directed the conversation to the principles of friends, and J.and M.Y.
explained the views held by the Society on silent worship, the ministry, and the disuse of ceremonies. The [French] language, says J.Y., was difficult to me; but by the grace of God I was helped, and they were quite ready to seize the sense of what we endeavored to convey.
