In the Greek school, writes John Yeardley, we observed a serious man about thirty years of age, who had the appearance of a laborer, learning Greek.  This was a little surprising, and led us to inquire the cause.  The inspector readily gratified us:  and gratifying indeed it was to hear that this poor man had given up his work of ship-carpenter, from pure conviction that he was called to go and instruct the poor Greeks at his own expense.  He is intending to spend the winter in learning the modern Greek, and to proceed in the spring to Corfu.  He intends to provide for his own living by working at his trade, and he will take for instruction about four boys at a time, and as soon as he has brought them forward enough, set them as monitors over others.  Some time ago two young men were sent out by the Bible Society to Corfu; but before they reached the place of their destination they were deterred by the missionaries on account of the unsettled state of the country, and dared not proceed further for fear of losing their lives.  It is remarkable that, at the juncture when these two young men were turned back by discouragement, this poor man should receive the impression to go to the same place.  We desired to have an interview with him, and he was instantly sent for to the Inspector’s room.  After a few remarks which opened for us to make to him, he confessed he had no peace but when he thought of giving up to this feeling of duty, and that when he looked towards going he felt happy in the prospect of every hardship.  It was remarked that, as this call was made from above, the great Master alone could guide his steps; he appeared fully sensible from whom his help must come.  He is beloved by his employers, and has an excellent certificate from the pastor, of his moral and religious character.

On the 2nd of the Eleventh Month they went to Zurich, and the same day drove out over a very bad road to Pfaeffikon to visit the Herr von Campagne.

We had a cold wet journey, but the good old man gave us a hearty welcome to his house.  He is seventy-six years of age.  He asked us pleasantly how we came to think of visiting an old man who was on the brink of the grave.  He had heard much of Friends, and wished, he said, to become personally acquainted with some of the Society.  He is a most benevolent character, but we could not unite with all his religious views; he does not think it necessary to meet for religious worship; in short, his principles are much the same as those held by Jacob Boehmen.

We slept at his house, and next morning returned to Zurich, where we called on our particular friend Professor Gessner and his family, and we rejoiced mutually to see each other again.

In the afternoon they called on Pastor Koch, tutor to the young Prince of Mecklenburg, who was at that time in Switzerland, and the next morning, First-day, as they were holding their little meeting for worship, the Prince himself, with Herr Koch and the Herr von Brandenstein, gave them a visit.  The Prince spoke English; and J.Y. says:—­
