I arrived, yesterday morning at six, at Schaffhausen. I found a brother
waiting for me at the post office, a gentleman of title, who, having been
informed by brethren at Basle of my arrival, kindly took me to his house
for the two hours I had to stay in that town, to refresh my body with
breakfast, and my soul with communion with the brethren whom he had
invited to meet me. I was in this town about ten years ago. I was now
again within a short distance of the fall of the Rhine, which was then
most attractive to me. Now I considered that my time could be spent much
more profitably than by going there. The little time that I was at
Schaffhausen, I received much information concerning the state of the
church in many parts of the Continent, from a believing physician and a
clergyman; and I also communicated things which, with God's blessing, may
be profitable. After this I continued my journey to Tubingen. It was with
peculiar feelings; for all this way I had traversed nearly ten years ago,
to gratify my natural desire for travelling, and now I went over the same
ground in the service of the Lord Jesus.
I arrived here this morning at nine, having been strengthened to travel
two nights and a day and a half, though I left Basle very weak. This
morning I saw brother Gundert, the student of divinity, on whose account I
am here, and spent about three hours in conversation with him. Afterwards
I called on a Christian professor in the university, who received me
kindly. This evening I had a meeting with the believing students, for whom
the Lord gave me a word.
March 26. This morning I drove with brother Gundert to Stuttgart, both
for the sake of seeing more of him, and also that we might unitedly talk
over the matter with his father, who lives there. I am now staying at the
house of brother Gundert senior, where I am kindly lodged. I think brother
Gundert junior, will go to the East Indies. His father is not only willing
to give him up for the Lord's sake, but seems to consider it an honour to
have a son to give to the Lord in this way. This evening I again met
several brethren, to whom I spoke about the things of God.
