Letter from Bunsen to his wife, The Hotel Baur, Zurich: 5th July, 1840 - The ancient popular customs of congregational and family worship have been renewed and practised in the first instance by those called Pietists, which are the Methodists of Germany, as Zinzendorf and Spangenberg answer to Wesley and Whitfield ; the meetings and societies established by them are gradually discarding the signs of separation and peculiarity, and the movement will gradually subside into general and popular feeling ; but as yet is met with a spirit of more freedom outside the German limits. The meeting began with a chorale— 'Will the day break in the East ? ' the singing was good, and the four several parts well carried out : and between the speeches, a verse of a hymn was introduced, to the general refreshment.
