about 900 copies of my Narrative, and fifty or sixty thousand tracts. In
addition to this, I am seeking to place with trustworthy brethren in
this country, in Switzerland, and in Prussia, smaller quantities, to be
given away as opportunity may occur. Our route, as far as I can see at
present, will be this: To Heilbronn, Heidelberg, Darmstadt, Frankfort,
Fulda, Erfurt, Eisenach, Eisleben. The last place will be the furthest
part of our journey. Then we mean to return towards England by way of
Nordhausen, Gottingen, Cassel, Elberfeld, Dusseldorf, and Cologne. The
whole tour may take from 20 to 25 days, travelling day after day. All
this I write to you, earnestly asking your prayers for us, on account of
the following particulars: 1. That the Lord would be pleased so to
strengthen us in body, as that we may be able to continue travelling day
after day for 20 days or more. 2. That the Lord would be pleased to give
us suitable and kind drivers, that we may not have difficulty in our
work in that way. 3. That the police may not be permitted to obstruct
our service. 4. That our own souls may not suffer through this work, but
rather be benefited. 5. That the Lord would be pleased to direct the
Tracts and Narratives into the hands of those very persons whom He means
to bless by them.
6. That He would also be pleased to allow the weather to be of that
kind, if it seem good to Him, that our work may not be hindered.--
Great unforseen hindrances and difficulties we may meet with in this
service, yet it has now been with me the subject of prayer for several
months, and in the name of the Lord I enter upon it.--The especial
reason why I go towards the North of Germany is, because there this
service is mostly needed, and there my Narrative is not at all, or
scarcely at all known, as the 200 copies which I sent to a beloved
brother in those parts for circulation, he could not conscientiouisly,
as he says, circulate; I therefore mean myself to circulate the book
there. And further, in those parts public meetings in abundance are
held, in which the foundation truths of the Gospel are openly attacked
by persons who call themselves "the Friends of Light." There then I mean
to distribute among the common people as many thousands of Tracts as I
can.--Germany is in great agitation. Light is increasing, there is a
shaking in establishments; but there infidelity is also increasing, as
well as democracy in politics. I watch with deep interest the state of
things in Germany, and were not my position in Bristol what it is, I
should remain longer here; but I judge it well to be back again, if the
Lord prosper our way, about the 12th of October. Gladly should I have
written many more Tracts, they are also greatly needed, especially on
subjects which are more particularly of importance for believers; but I
cannot now stay longer, and must leave it to a time when the Lord may
honour me again to labour for a season in Germany.
