DISTRESS in GERMANY.--;" Extract .cf
a Letter rrom 'Rev. Dr. `3.einvahe, on MISSION froni
the LONDON GERM.-1N COMMITTEE, dateA Erfurt, Aug.
30,,1314."
, .

" To the means 'which the Committee lave put into my
hands to remove here and there some pressing wants, I ant
also indebted for manygratifying scenes. I have endeavour-
ed to apply them in the wav which I considered as most con-
sistent with the views of the donors. Permit me to relate
• one effecting instance :—Ote" Clergyman in this neighbour-
hood, and two other men of his congregation, were at cue
time the only persons in the village still capable of affording
personal assistance to the great numbers-of sick ;he became,
therefore, their 'nurse and their messenger, their friend anti
their servant; he went, in the morning, round to light the
fires in their rooms, then prepar d some food, and handed: it
to them ; afterwards walked to the neareet • town to the pity-
. sician to fetch medicines, then dog graves for the decettd,
and buried them: and all this while. he ltimsell'cool a scarcely
• obtain the necessary food. Once, on way t• town, lie
fainted from fatigue and want eand.when he recovered, with-
out assistance, thought it, at first, imptissibie to recover his
object; hut the consideration that several of his parishioners
-were anxiously waiting for medicines, Supplied !Inn with new.
strength ; he reached the town, obtained the Medicines, and
returned with it to his village, and has Pad the great satisfae-
tion„that of those for Whose state be. on that dor made so
great exertions, not one died. His own constitution
however, under these fatigues, and he became ill, and would
probably have fallen a Viefillt 1.0 his benevolence, had not se 1-
'twat persons at Weimar been informed of hie situation, who
imineuiately supplied hint with the necessary food and niedi-
entes. This excellent man's lie ng consists of about 251. a
vear. The Committee would, I inn sure, not forgive me, if I
had not expressed the pleasure which they certainly will feel,
when T recommended to them that worthy minister's condo*
to him, by a small present in, their name. Pow often have I
wished that some of our British Friends might he with we,
and witness the beneficial effects of then liberality of their
countrymen on the tuinds and hearts, as well as the temporal
condition, of my countrymen, it has; in many instances,
:•ved as the nillyeounterpoise to that destractive e: pilsui,
amid the wretched doubts and de:peir -t,f all bothan virtue,
and evert the 'existence of a gracious Providence, which be-
1011g to the most awful resillts•ol the long success of French
tyranny, and contempt of equity and compassion.
