Evidence: | 'I returned from Brighton the day before yesterday having felt a drawing of love to visit the Friends; and to attend to the difficulties of the District Society. I went [underline] quite alone [end underline], and yet not alone because I believe my master was with me. I had amongst the Friends some weighty, close service, some very encouraging. My way appeared curiously opened in the hearts of the people and I hope and trust the valued District Society will be continued. I had about a hundred visitors to meet me, and read the 100th Psalm: and prayed for them, and the Society, and strongly pressed the importance of different Christians working together, and of unity of spirit' |
