20-27 Nov 1732:11,12 (370)
London, August 4. Extract of a letter from the Reverend Mr.
Ulsperger at Augsbourg, dated 17th July 1732, N.S. to the
Secretary of the Society (at London) for Promoting Christian
Knowledge.
. . . [Information on how charitable contributions from the
British were used to help 900 exiles from Salzburg, and
sermons and services given for thousands of people of all
denominations]
. . . On Wednesday morning I preach'd to them again in this
church, from Psal. 23 6, Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the
house of the Lord forever. After sermon they were permitted
to sing two hymns by themselves, which caused a flood of
tears in the congregation. In the afternoon most of our
ministers preach'd to them, when 600 florins, part of the
2000 above-mentioned, were distributed among them. . .
