[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 IX 20/28
We were about seventy in company at dinner, and much sweet feeling prevailed.
The master of this interesting family was delighted to hear something of Friends to whom he had never before been introduced. At Neufchatel, on First-day (2 mo.
3,) they met large companies in the morning and evening, and the next morning took leave of their friends in that city, "deeply humbled under a sense of the great Master's work among them." They went to Locle under the conduct of A.Borel, whose "kindness exceeded all description." On the way, writes John Yeardley, we took refreshment at a pious man's house in the morning, and dined at another friend's, with whom, we had a precious religious opportunity.
It reminded me of the mode of visiting our own dear Friends in England; we find in the hearts of these visited children of the Universal Parent genuine hospitality; they hand us of all they have in their houses in the name of disciples. At Locle they were met by Mary Anne Calame, with whom their hearts became instantly knit in the strongest Christian friendship. She came before we were well alighted.
We had heard much of the character and benevolent exertions of this dear woman but could say in truth the half had not been told us.
