In Germany they largely contributed to form the opinions of Arndt and Andreas, Spener and Francke, men to whom their country was indebted for a remarkable revival of spiritual religion. Their further influence may, perhaps, be traced through Francke on Count Zinzendorf and the Moravians, and through Wolff on the mystic rationalism of later Germany.
I want none of your treasures; but I command you to give me my sister, and let us go!" Arndt folded his arms around Reutha, and walked with her through all the gorgeous rooms, the Hill-men and women following behind, and luring him with their sweetest songs and most bewitching smiles. But Reutha's voice and Reutha's smile had greatest power of all over her brother's heart.
But we must be their guests until the arrival of the boats containing our furniture," which, under the care of our old acquaintance, Hamilton Arndt, was making its way slowly up from Green Bay. A dinner had been prepared for us.
The same clear expression of worship is found in another familiar and noble prayer, that of Johann Arndt. Here, too, are phrases descriptive of a unified consciousness induced by reverent loyalty.
They climbed the gloomy staircase, and stood at the opening in the hillock. Then the little Hill-man appealed once more to his master "Noble gentleman! remember, a life of labour with Reutha or one of continual pleasure alone! Think again!" "No, not for a moment," said Arndt, as he felt the breezes of earth playing on his cheek. How sweet they were, even after the fragrant airs of elfin-land!
The mound may well have been a haunted, a sacred spot ever since the ashes of the dead and their costly weapons and ornaments were committed to its keeping far back in the Neolithic age. Instances might easily be multiplied. Müller, p. 203; Map, Dist. iv. c. 13. Gerv. Dei," l. ii. c. 25. Jahn, p. 182, quoting Arndt. Knoop, p. 10; Bartsch, vol. i. p. 273.
Beside the little mound and among the bushes did poor Arndt search in terror, but he could not find his sister. He called her name loudly there was no answer. Not a single trace of her could be found; and yet he had not been five minutes away. "Oh! what shall I do?" sobbed the boy; "I dare not go home without Reutha!"
And then, by fairy spells, Arndt saw beside it the image of the little peasant as he was when he entered the hill. "Think how different!" whispered the dwarf.
He believes in that doctrine and teaches it: he teaches it to the multitude on the margin of the lake, and to the select circle of his followers in a private dwelling. Lively and energetic are the remarks of Fred. Arndt on this subject: "Yes, Jesus says, in dry, clear words, 'The enemy that soweth them is the devil. But surely there is not any devil? Who says that?
All this Arndt drank in with eager ears; and when the peddler went away he sat a long time thinking. "I will do it," at last he said aloud. "I will try to get my dear Reutha safe back again." And the boy stole noiselessly to the mound which the Hill-men were supposed to inhabit.
