Excerpt from Extracts From the Letters of John and Martha Yeardley, Whilst on a Religious Visit to Some Parts of the Continent of Europe, the Ionian Isles, &C

Md). We called on the Director of the Missionary House, a young man remarkable for his zeal and piety; we knew him in a fbrmer journey, and he soon recognized us as Christian friends, and introduced na to a pious Protestant lady, who spends much of her time in translating religious and useful books into French. She has also a class in the First-day School for instructing the children in the Scriptures. On asking for information respecting this class, and whether the mode of questioning was from books, she replied, no, it wouldbe useless for the children to repeat by rote merely, we want the great truths of the Gospel to sink into their hearts. Our introduction to this precious character was much to our comfort. And we were permitted to rejoice together in contemplating those things which the Lord has in mercy begun, and is carrying on in this great city. After this instructive interview we called on sister in-law to the late Deputy who was well known to many friends in England and America, on account of his admiration of some of our religious principles, and who was executed in the time of Robes pierre. She is a Roman Catholic, yet asked if she might attend our meetings, which was of course granted: she is desirous of 8 reading Friends' books and tracts, and we think she will be useful, in this respect, having much leisure and access to serious classes of her own profession.
