Starting on the Long Journey Home

The conference to be held at Vohwinkel, in Prussia, on the weekend of May 27 to 29, mentioned in her April letter to Edson, would be her first appointment en route to the United States. Mrs. Ings accompanied her on this first part of the journey. They said farewell to their friends and associates in the work in Basel on Thursday evening, the twenty-sixth, and took the nine-thirty train for Germany. One of the young men from the publishing house, who was returning to his home in Germany, accompanied them, assisting as translator. At Mainz they were met by L. R. Conradi, who traveled with them to Vohwinkel, a short distance north of Cologne. Arriving at three o'clock Friday afternoon, the elder of the church met them and drove them two miles into the country to visit a little community of Adventists. These had moved away from the cities to find freedom to work and worship as they chose.3BIO 363.5
