related that "the Enemy" tempted her again with a desire to marry George
Landmann; but "the Lord showed through Brother Rath, and also to her own
conscience, that this step was against his holy will, and accordingly
they did not marry, but did repent concerning it, and the Lord's grace
was once more given her." But, like Jacob, she seems to have wrestled

In the year 1822 the congregations appear to have attracted the

Quaker went away on his journey home, apparently not much edified.

The congregations were much scattered in Germany, and it appears to have
